As title says really - is it possible to start the rrs, get heat etc running, and lock it and keep the keys in my pocket?

I could do it on my E92 330d BMW and was great to get it warmed safely on these cold mornings, but can I do it in my 10 sport? If I press the buttons I just get the beeping sound, and it won't lock!

So is there a way round this for me?

No i dont think there is....................so i just leave the missus sat in there while its defrosting  MY10 3.0 HSE Santorini Black, Ivory Premium & extended leather, privacy, paddles, diamond turned alloys, Ipod lead that charges, tasmods, rrsport.co.uk stickers

You are right, the car would not lock from outside if the engine is running. I guess that is a security measure to prevent strangers from entering the vehicle and locking in and drive away. Keep in mind if the smart key is inside the car and the doors are locked, there is noway to open the doors from outside.
I guess you could try using both keys, leave one inside and lock the doors using the other key. But that sounds rather dangerous... the car may explode....  Vadim A.

I do it by starting the engine, lowering the drivers window, get out and shut the door, press the lock button by putting your hand in through the window, car will lock, then lift the window up button withdrawing your hand quickly! Car will be all locked up and secure. As long as you have the key you will be able to open the door as usual. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

Brilliant Richard - good thinking!

@ Vadim - I'm not talking about leaving the smart key in the sport - I keep it on me at all times! And what have you done to your sport that if you leave the key in it, it may explode?!

In my BM, I put the smart key in its slot, started the engine, then pressed start/stop, removed the key, put foot on the brake, and pressed start/stop again, and the engine started with no key in it. I then got out of the car, and locked e doors using the key, and let the car run for 5mins to heat it up, and was hoping I could do something similar with my sport as I did not spec the £900 park heat option! MY10 HSE 3.0 TDV6 : Santorini Black : Ebony Interior w/Anigre wood : Privacy Glass (total) : Sunroof : Sidesteps : Hybrid TV : Detachable Tow Kit : Spare Wheel Cover : 22" Dished Supersports

forgot about this tip till the other day when i had to stick my car on the road to take my wifes car out of the driveway at 5 in the morning - smugly put the window down, locked it then put window up. came back to it , pressed the unlock button and it just went , beep beep and now doors would not open. F k!!!
i then started to panic, and tried to use the tailgate open button on the fob. nothing!!.

i then wondered how long the car would idle on a full tank......then realised i could manually open it with the emergancy key. managed to prise the handle off by the light of my phone and gained entry , phew!!

this tip does NOT work on a 2010 SE!!!

It definitely works on a car with keyless entry. Glad to hear you weren't locked out completely.

Nick, the Mito is a great little car although we haven't used it much, had it since early November and its not done 1K miles yet.

The RRS was always on a short term lease. Currently been replaced with this:



Crap picture sorry and its filthy already. I would have got another RRS but they are in such demand at the moment the lease company couldn't get one. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award
