Before this happened, I may have remembered wrong, but I thought the "theft" light only starts flashing once the car is armed?
I'll double check later today, but I'm pretty sure that the theft light flashes all the time when the key isn't in the lock on my '07 too. I have wondered about this myself. Does our system use a "smart key" with a chip that needs to be used to drive the car (so that the car is always armed against being hotwired)?
