Hi I have a Focus ST2 tdci on a 15 plate. Can anyone tell me if the door automatically lock when you start driving?

    No it won't. You can set it up using Forscan and a modified ELM327 cable though.

    Forscan is a free programme you can download onto a windows laptop, you can then connect the laptop to the car using a modified ELM327 cable via the OBDll port. Once the car is connected up you can use Forscan to programme all sorts of things in the cars ECU. Things like how many times the indicators flash when you tap the stalk, activating different features i.e. reverse camera, autolock etc and you can read and clear engine fault codes (DTC). 

    Its pretty easy to use but you need to read up first and also download the programme and lisence (free). Standard statement of ‘changes made are done so at users own risk blah blah’. 

    The cable is under £20 and it’s a good investiment.
