I actually don't like the RC clock surround at all. The grained plastic looks cheaper than the metallic-painted plastic in the IS. I wish they hadn't updated it for '17. Just my opinion of course.

personally i can never use whatever cool features newer model mirrors have because i always slap on a Broadway Wide View Mirror:

in the IS350, i still have to turn my head sometimes but it has come in handy in other cars

I'm really curious now about this. I may have to try shutting the car off with the driver's window open and see if I can reach in and press the button. But if you can open the doors it is sort of a moot point.
I believe you can set the car to automatically lock, but I don't recall how.

Never even thought of this, but doesn't the car lock on it's own after a few minutes? I think after I got my COMPUSTAR remote start, the car locks on it's own. I remember there were times I forgot to lock the car and it would stay open all night. I've let the car sit a few minutes and I hear it lock on it's own, not sure though.

im thinking about at getting a 3IS and have the same concerns. A quick solution would be to remove the fuse tied to pin 6. But this may make the homelink useless among other items. Another option would be to cut the pin 6 wire and tap it into the pin 1 wire.

But even if you have one of those remotes for opening the garage door, it would have the same problem. Those are battery-powered and work no matter what. You'd have to remember to remove it from the car.

(Neighbor’s event was not a HomeLink case, but rather his wife left her car unlocked and had a physical remote for the opener in the car.)
