From what I have observed, it must be in very close proximity, if not actually in the ignition. For the past couple of days I've been running various tests with the key in various locations (inside vs outside of car) and although I'm not done with my observations, it's becoming clear that the key left in the ashtray vs key away from vehicle poses no difference in either alarm or time interior lights stay on. I'll post results later.
