Is it true they have the facility to remove the key and leave the engine running ? something fitted by the EPB ?

I cant see any reason why it couldnt be fitted.
I would have thought it would be available,,,,, lets see what google comes up with.
But I'm not sure why you would want to leave the car running without the key in it. Ours is used to prevent them being stolen as we leave them unlocked at incidents + the lightbars/ airwave/ gps/ driving lights and other electrical bits always need to be on
