Really? my key fob (Ford Fusion) has a separate lock and unlock buttons. Also, the auto-unlock feature can be disabled through a setup menu on the car dashboard. Furthermore, the spot where a physical lock stem would normally be has a red LED that lights when the door is locked. Finally, it if you touch the outside of the handle in a certain, the doors lock. Really nice feature.
- lisper 9y agoYes, the fob works that way. It's the door button that toggles. But the fob sounds the horn, so if you don't want to be obnoxious you have to use the door button (or lock all the doors manually).
- derekp7 9y agoOnly if I hit the lock button twice -- once locks, twice gives the horn beep as a "confirmation" (Ford seems to have really figured it out on this car model). But I can hear the mechanical lock activate from just hitting it once. Oh, and the door also has two buttons, one for lock, the other unlock. Never seen a car door with only one button that toggles. This is one of those cases where I wish all products had open firmware, so that you can install a best-of-breed user interface on all cars (not to mention, have my car fob also work on multiple cars from different manufactures, and also on the my house door lock).
- rconti 9y agoHuh. I've never seen one like that. The ones I've seen (Infiniti, BMW, VW, others I'm sure) unlock when you put your hand into the door cup to grab the handle. They lock by touching an area to the side of the door handle in some way; an action that can't be confused with the opening action.
