It even autolocks again when you close it...sweet.

*Vivafoxpro - Nice mod with the autolock
I don't think it would be beneficial for me though.
I often pull out of our driveway, then my wife gets into the car on the road, as we have limited space in the driveway to open passenger door. Everytime I pull out, the car would lock, then I would have to unlock to let my wife in
I think an autolock for me would have to be linked to the speed of the car. Surely this could be offered by Ford via a software upgrade?
If the computer can detect the speed of the car to sound the seatbelt warning chime, then it could autolock at the same time.
With all the technology in this car, it's a bit strange it isn't included in the Asean version, but is included in the US version.
Precisely. It all boils down to marketing strategies. Companies deliberately "water down" their products so that the more expensive models "appear" better.

I read somewhere a case regarding a TV where the manufacturer deliberately inserted some obstruction unto the speakers to "muffle" them a bit so that they won't sound as good as the premium model. Looking at the replacement part, it had an identical part number as the premium one.

Had you bought an M/T like myself, a crude "speed sensing" is to attach the switch so that the 2nd gear position of the stick bumps the switch.

Shift to second gear, POW - auto lock!
