Despite having a downside, I absolutely don't understand how you can't see an upside to this. Especially because it already exists in other cars and is a feature in many alarm systems including aftermarket.

quickie search result... why active and not passive for bmw? Passive is considered a better safety measure as evidenced by insurance discounts. More. Oh wait, I already claimed passive was better in my very first post!

I'm done trying to convince people at this point by saying the same thing over and over. What I do want is for the company to consider giving us the choice for passive or hear why they didn't put it in in the first place.
