Making use of the rear empty light housing for the sedan:
I used strobes but any king of additional light can be put in.

*admin - Thanks for the sticky!

By some twist of fate, my exploits have become a minor spectator delight, all waiting for me to make a blunder and ruin my brand new FoFi

where you can see the head unit dismantling to get access to the lock button and lock indicator.

Here is the general idea:

The result:
Step on the brakes, auto lock. Once locked, stepping on the brakes has no effect. Unlock it and brake will auto lock again.

Thanks!

Next project ko related to this is the indicator light to see that our FoFi is locked down even from the outside.

Nowadays I have to press again the lock on the fob before I go to sleep to make sure locked nga sya.

Sa EB naman, medyo shy kasi ako sa maraming tao

... you know how geeks are, technically skilled, socially inept, wahehehe....

Sabi nga ni Sir Tidus, kwartang malinaw na raw mga mods ko. Sagot ko naman ok na ko sa linya ko, just as enjoyable and fair naman and financial returns : bukas kotse at carnapping! Di ba Sir Rogie? wahehehe...

Great work as always, Vivafoxpro. In my case, I have gotten used to automatically pressing the central lock button every time I enter the car so this wouldn't be much use to me.

What I would find useful would be a separate button to open the rear hatch door without unlocking the passenger doors. Puwede bang magrequest? He.he.
