My buddy knew his front end out a while ago and his gf and him had to sleep in the jeep until autozone opened and I could bring him parts. It was cold so they fell asleep with it running. A couple of us had a fire going and we're having a conversation when he started revving the hell out of his jeep. He was sleep-wheeling the shit outta that thing.

The other morning I got out of my jeep and walked across the parking lot to the door at work. I am always the first one there, the parking lot was empty except my jeep. I went to press the lock button on the key and somehow accidentally pushed the start button and the jeep started. I stopped for a second staring at the jeep in the cold wind. Should I walk all the way back across the lot in the cold wind, or be lazy knowing that it would turn itself off soon. I chose the to let it take care of itself. I was sitting in my office and a contractor that works for maintenance came in and said "you know your jeeps running?". I had to tell him in shame I accidentally turned it on and was too lazy to walk over and turn it off. He looked at me like "it must be tough", he drives a beat up single cab ranger that sometimes doesn't start. I felt like a complete Jack a$$. First world problems.
If it was the factory remote start system, you can just press the buttons again and it will cancel the remote start.

LOL, yeah it doesn't work on this one, I tried. Which brings me to my next thread I need to start.... I bought this jeep and the programmer wire is still sticking out the top left and bottom of my dash, with no programmer. It has a lot changed like, the headlights stay on all the time no matter what. There is no alarm warning for your seatbelt not being buckled and some other little things. The dealership says they don't have it. What kinda trouble am I in with this, can I just by another programmer or can someone reset all this stuff. Who knows what else has been done, I have no experience in tuners/programmers. Don't want to highjack this thread but will write my own soon.
