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.

Yeah, my fob has lock and unlock buttons, but it has a little hole you
put it in before you press the start button. I don't know if it'll
still start if I keep my fob in my fob pocket. I've never tried that,
but I doubt it. Isn't it weird that Levi Strauss was making pants with
a little fob pocket long before fobs even existed? The man was a
visionary.

My new Mazda hatchback has a key fob to start the car. It can be left in
my pants pocket or my purse and it still starts the car as long as it's
in the car. Unless the battery in the key fob dies and then nothing
which happened to me recently. Changed the battery and all was good.
