Yes but its even more than 10 sec., I?ve read from people with up to one minute. Could be in the software version. A buddy stopped at the gas station, removed the key, got gas, went in to pay without (!) looking the doors, came back to the car, FORGOT to put the key in, pressed start, car started, went driving, then saw that he had forgot to put in the key, but he?s driving!

Yep. That's a known problem. This is possible until the car goes in sleeping mode.

Yeah, I thought the purpose of Comfort Access was that you didn't have to have the key out of your pocket or briefcase.

Have the key on you, touch the door handle to unlock the car and get in, put your foot on the brake and press start - drive away.

Why would you have to put the key in the ignition??? Why the heck would you pay $1000 for CA if you're still going to put the stupid key in the ignition???
