Do you live in an area where you're really that afraid of getting car jacked?

Nope.  Neither is a place I routinely visit.  I had no idea where you lived, that's why I asked.

I live 15 minutes from Camden, NJ.  I still don't really fret it.

My complaint was primarily that if I had a passenger in the car, if I was dropping them off, if they didn't look to unlock the door, I unlocked it, or put the car in park, it wouldn't open.  People always just reach for the handle, then I get asked, "why did you lock the door?"

But I'm decidedly a "wipe my own ass" kind of mentality.  I don't like auto-lights, auto-locks, auto-temp, auto-wipers, auto anything.  I prefer luxury in terms of quality of materials, refinement and performance.  Not a million features that make me a lazier person.  None of those features make people more engaged with the vehicle.  If anything, they seem to make people less connected with it.  Power steering and power windows is all I really need in terms of assistance.

I don't disagree with the people who prefer it.  If it makes you feel better and gives you peace of mind, that's great.  But I like having control over those kind of items. 

OK, there ya go then.  The Lexus version would work for you.  Just locks the car from entrance from the OUTSIDE but the passengers still get in and out like normal.

Bah, you preaching to the choir.  I've been trying to figure out this IDrive thing for a week now.
