hate that

Then you must hate having things like remote locking and unlocking, and a
half decent radio.

Or have a more decent radio that keeps stuff in NVRam
and a better design that requires the use of the key when
the ECU has decided that its been a while since the car was
last started and turns off the remote locking and unlocking.

4 to 5 weeks is actually quite good. If you wish to leave it longer,
disconnect the battery.

**** that, I'd rather use the key.
some don't have a key and that is really stupid ....
