That's because I enabled BR for you Chris

It's a good feature if you have a diesel with FBH, not enabled with a timer. It allows the starting of the car and firing up of the FBH if ambient temp warrants FBH operation. Then the car can be secured by locking.
That said, this means the car is left running unattended obviously, and I've read that some police forces have started enforcing this offence, even if the vehicle is on private land. i.e. your drive.
Something to consider I suppose.

I used this 'brl' for the first time, locking the car with the 2nd fob, but when i tried to open the boot holding the button down it failed to open.....
just wondering if its a fault or designed that way?

There are alarms you can buy that will start the car with a remote, while the doors are locked. So you don't even need to go outside!
Probably very expensive though.

I had that on a motorbike years ago, good quality alarm and remote start was a feature. Pose value was off the scale
