Any workarounds for this problem?
This has happened twice in the month we've had our Odyssey EX: the power door starts closing while we're pulling things in or out of the Odyssey. The first time, I put the remote and key in my jacket pocket and the power door started closing on me while I was taking our baby out in the infant carrier (I was holding the carrier against my body). The second time, my wife put her keys/remote in her pocket while she was taking our baby out and the other door started closing on a friend of hers who was taking her baby out of the other side (we were so embarrassed!)
This is my first car with a remote entry system so I'm kinda surprised that there isn't a "off" switch on the remote to prevent this kind of thing from happening. I know a couple of other people with similar problems on Odyssey's and Sienna's.
I've resorted to just not carrying the remote any more and strictly using the keys.
Any other solutions or workarounds?
