Car Washing - Does this happen to anyone else?

I'll leave my keys in the garage work station to avoid it. It's annoying with mirrors closing every 2 mins

Always happens if I have a keyfob on my person when washing my vehicles myself or even going through a touchless car wash.

Just keep the keys inside the car and it won't happen… or some distance away from the vehicle

Year later update: My solution just to be safe is pull out the metal the metal key and keep the fob inside. It prevents it from switching on and off
