I think this is my gf's favorite thing about the car! We found out if I have the key and she tries it, then the key has to be really close to the front where she is. Won't work if I'm in the car or standing off to the side a little bit. Too cool.

just found this technical service bulletin addition to the car manual:
1. Put hand in pocket
2. Search around in pocket until you feel the key
3. Grab key
4. While holding key carefully remove hand from pocket
5. While assessing any dangerous obstacles that may be close to you, carefully walk to a place where you can put your key, preferably somewhere you will not forget.
6. Fire up power washer, make sure that the water supply to the washer is on.
7. Wash car.
Caution: If you have the car key in your pocket, do not ride on the front bumper while the car is in motion on bumpy roads or during a heavy rain lest the hood may open.
...the car has a proximity sensor that will unlock the doors if you touch the door handle and will open the trunk if you touch the bumper. It seems that if you are using a hose to wash the car the water stream will trigger the sensor....i guess that if you **** on the bumper with a key in your pocket, the same thing will happen.... That's it. No magic, no defect, just engineering gone wild.
...sorry, i couldn't help myself...
