PTS vehicle w/manual transmission can be driven w/o the key when remote started.

Hello, I installed a EVO-ONE stand alone on a 2023 VW Jetta GLI PTS manual transmission. I had to bring the key to my girlfriend this morning because she succeeded (unintentionally) to leave with the car that she had remote started with the OEM key (3x lock). In the past, she once forgot to bring the key, but when she pressed on the brake pedal to release the parking brake, the engine has stopped.

But this time the engine kept running, and she had no message stating that the key was not in the vehicle in the cluster.

-The module has been programmed with Flashlink manager and a Flashlink 2 on March 27th 2024 with the most recent firmware at this time.

-The battery of the sacrified key has been removed, and it has been tied far enough from the transponder antenna located on the steering column.

-The module was installed in accordance to the guide #99681.

Is there any chance that a firmware reflash could resolve this issue?

Thanks!
