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.

Love the way so many say 'I can't disconnect the battery, because the
engine ECU etc will lose all data' Then leave it connected so it goes
flat. So not only do you lose the data, but need a new battery too. A win
win situation. ;-)
