There's a button under the dash that goes with it.

How are these things supposed to work? I've been in and out of it a thousand times in a thousand different ways and it's never given me a headache starting or otherwise. (Maybe I'm just "doing it right" each and every time?)

Only real concern is that it won't start one day and I won't be able to figure out how to get it going again.
Unless you disable this feature at the ECM reprogramming it, a coded key will always be required to start. I'm not sure if a non-coded key would interfere with the alarm if it's used only to open the doors, and I have never seen any way to selectively disable the passive immobilizer through an under-dash button.
