Default Pressing The Big Red Button.

It's getting on my nerves that when turning the ignition off, I then seem unable to start the engine again without 1st locking, then un-locking the car.
Does anyone know if there's a way around this???
I'd like to be able to turn the ignition off, then on again and just press the button.

I thought you could restart it again straight away, as long as it's within 30 secs or something, I may be wrong. Either way you don't need to lock and unlock, you can just hit the unlock button once and start her up again.

I'm sure, indeed know, you can. What if you were to stall the car? Of course I never have , but I'm sure you can restart via the button immediately.

if it cuts back in hit the unlock button. Look for the green key and yellow engine lights being on!

if when you are unable to restart the car the red led in the centre is flashing you immobiliser is on. if this is the case turn the ignition on and press the unlock key on the fob this will turn off the immobiliser without you having to lock/unlock the doors

No reason, just so it looked a bit different.

We play in Black & White stripes.
