Interesting that a car can be altered to an owners wishes via its OBD port, lighting, locks, etc

I like the idea of auto locks on the move

Most cars can be set for auto locking. If you have a door lock button in the car you just press it and hold it for about 10 seconds and it will turn the auto locking on. Do it again and it will turn it off.

The only problem with auto locking is ,when you stop the internal door handle has to be pulled twice to open

The MK3 Mondeo can be set to auto lock - only lasts until you turn the ignition off though. Then you have to repeat the whole process again. :x
