Enable Auto-lock Doors On 2008 Focus Style

[Gezzs]

Hi. The Wife has got a 2008 Focus Style and wants the doors to auto-lock when driving. Is this a feature on this model? I've tried a couple of the guides on the interwebs but had no luck. I'm starting to think it's not possible on her car.

On the Focus MK2/MK2.5 and MK3/MK3.5 the autolocking function can only be activated softwarematically using a suitable diagnostic system. Ford however does not support this function in Europe. In the European IDS (diagnostic) software the Autolocking function is greyed out and can not be selected.

The easiest way to activate the autolocking function on the Focus MK2/MK2.5 is by using a modified ELM327 interface and the free ELMconfig software.

Thanks JW1982. I think I'll translate that to "nah it doesn't work" when the Wife asks :)

As the previous poster said this is very easy to do. Ive done it on mine. No issues and well worth the spend for the diagnostics you can do with the software and elm.

That approach usually works for me too. :d
