You can always do what my dad does -- leave the transponder in the car and just lock it in the car when he parks. Sure, anyone can walk up, unlock it, and drive away but try telling that to my dad...
How does he lock it with the fob inside?

One security question : The CA fob has to be in close range all the time once car is started or is it possible to drive the car without CA fob as in case of carjacking, does the car stop once CA fob is not within range ???
I thought I read on the M5s if they key is not detected and once you shift into D or once the wheels start moving the engine will cut out. Can anyone confirm?

Nope - at least not in my 550. If the engine is running and you take the fob out of the car, the engine continues to run and you can drive away. There is a warning displayed on the iDrive screen that the fob is not in the car, but that's it.

Of course, if you do drive away without the fob and then stop the car, you won't be able to restart it. I suppose that's a bit of a problem . . .
