Would have to be one weird alarm system. I've got a transponder key
(different make of vehicle) and got a "regular" key for a backup like what
you want. Right off I opened the door with it and then tried to start the
vehicle. Curiously, the engine started, but shut itself down after a
couple
of seconds and wouldn't re-start until I used the transponder key.
Seeing as how I have *never* hear even a whisper about any manufacturer
tying in the transponder key to the door locks, please post if you find
anything different...
