Cell Phone Interference - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So I got my car set up with my cell phone car dock (see attached picture) and found out an interesting quirk. If i leave my cell phone (Droid Bionic) in my car dock when I get out of my car, my car acts as if the key is still in the ignition. It wont let me use the fab to lock the doors and wont let the switch on the inside lock the doors. Remove my phone from that spot (even just sitting on my lap) and it all works just fine. Anyone else run into anything like this?

As WRXGuy1 says, that's really interesting.
At least, you now know you won't forget your phone in your car.
