why the plane doesn't have a remote unlock.

What advantage does a remote unlock offer anyone in the grand scheme of

Absolutely none--other than the entertainment of watching another
aircraft, on the far side of the parking ramp, blink its landing light as
the doors also unlock.

And hearing the stall warning horn beep. :~)


As you can see, I regard them as a mixed blessing on autos as well.

With a wife and daugher, they are a safety blessing.

And, yes, if anyone is wondering, there is someone else with the same
radio key code who frequently parks within range of my car.

The odds of that are millions to one...about like your neighbor having the
same code for their garage door opener.

Actually, there are surprisingly few codes on any given frequency,
especially since each key fob uses three and sometimes four of the available
codes--for open/close/panic and typically trunk release. It is actually a
fraction of the codes available for a typical four tumbler key lock for any
given type of key blank--so you can probably think of a transmitting
frequency as being analogous to a style of key blank.
