It takes one key to open the car, and two of those doohickies to start the
car with the one key that opened the car. I don't understand why.

Anyway, I borrowed a friend's Corolla for the weekend and just now I had to
ask her to let me back into the car because the car locks itself after an
unknown period of time without any user intervention whatsoever.

What's with that?
She says the car locks itself all the time on its own schedule.

Is there a way for her to turn this off so it can be normal?
Is there a way to make it so that just the key starts the car?


This is the main reason the car keeps locking its doors.

Does her car start with a fob? My car has a fob. No key in the common
form we all grew up with... it's a magical fob, with its very own fob
docking hole. If you don't have your fob, you aren't going anywhere, and
you have to go directly to a BMW dealer to get a new fob, and they're
expensive... because they're fobs, after all.

Our new Subaru won't start without a fob, but it has no 'docking hole'.
As long as you have it in your pocket the car will start when you push
the button. Also, you have to push the button (on the fob) to lock
/unlock the doors once you exit the vehicle.
