You have to turn the ingition all the way back to the off position to restart the car if you accidentally kill it. What purpose does this feature serve?

Default It's probably to prevent accidentally engaging the starter after the car is running >

Even though they could have built some intelligence into it so you don't have to turn it off to restart after a stall.

I've installed remote starters that added this feature.

Default The ones I installed only cared if the engine was running. >>>

There was none of this single start per ignition cycle nonsence.
