07 Avalon theft deterrent system

[Bittabola]

Hello everyone!

I am just wondering how Avalon's (with smart key) theft deterrent system functions? I mean, you can still drive the car when the key is not in the car. So, is there any way to shut the engine off when you have the key but not the car? ;-)

Thanks!

it will run until you turn it off. then it won't restart. and it beeps when you get out & close the door.

Hm, so there's no way to stop the stolen car anyways?..

I chose to go with Lojack. It won't shut the car off if stolen - but the transmitter directs the police right to the car. If it's not recovered - Lojack makes up the difference that insurance doesn't cover.
