Flanders is an unknown quantity at this point
Is there a way to change this behavior (from Honda Fit Accessories webpage FAQ on remote starter)

Q: Does the Honda Remote Starter System function differently than aftermarket versions?
A: Yes, the system functions differently in the following ways:
• Unlike aftermarket versions, the Honda system shuts the engine off when you unlock
the vehicle. You must restart the vehicle, which provides additional security and safety.

This is garbage. When it's -25C outside, I don't want the car to turn off when I press the unlock button. I want the car to continue running when I press unlock. Like all other remote starters I've used, I'd expect the car to 'turn off' if I press a pedal inside the car without inserting the key first. Why the heck does 'unlock' turn the car off?
