Fred couldn't be more correct about this "drawback" when always using the
remote. When I first purchased my S6, it was nearly impossible to use the
key in the door locks. It's definitely worth using the lock a couple of
times each month, and lube is essential.

Now I have to worry about the Aux relay panel going up in flames. . .
