I believe you still have to have the fob in the vehicle with you to press the radio power button. So if your rogue offspring go into the garage to listen to the radio (as kids do), they won't be able to do so without your key...which is no different than a "regular" car.
So grab your key, get in the vehicle, and press the power button on the radio...NOT the ignition button.
Nope, I took the key and put it 20 feet away from the Expedition last night and hopped in and the radio still turned on. It doesn't care about the key being in it..... That was my point of it being kinda silly.
I live up north in a real secluded area and we rarely lock our vehicles at home, at work, in town, etc, so its kinda weird that the radio is able to be turned on with no key whatsoever.
