It won't start. It'll give you a key not detected message between the gauges. A key has to be detected inside the car before the car will start.

Likewise, a key has to be detected outside of the car before the car will lock via the ridges (and unlock, obviously).

My first thought is he should no longer be driving.

put a loud assed exhaust on the car so he knows when it's running

The only way I can see this happening regularly is if he also used to forget to take the key out of the ignition before he had CA.

Is he having any other problems?
- Forgetting to lock the front door?
- Forgetting his address?
- Forgetting what day it is? What year it is?
- Forgetting names of close friends & family?

It could be a sign of a larger issue.

(No, this post is not a joke.)

Driving such a barge is like driving a Toyota it puts you to sleep.

Nope tried it... you can still drive away without the key.
Assuming you leave the door unlocked for someone to gain access.
