Auto Lock

Hi as some of you know I have a Ford Focus MK3.5 Focus ST. I have been looking online and trying to find out if I can set up Auto lock my doors when I drive.

 

I am finding mixed things online and nothing that’s recent.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks

 

Aaron

    This can only be done using a suitible diagnostic system. For example an ELM327 interface in combination with the free Forscan software. 

    Once the autolock function is switched on in the Central Car Configuration it can be switched on or off by performing the procedure with the lock switch as described in many YouTube videos.

    I did it just as Wilco said, using FORScan.

    How do I use FORScan?

    Forscan is freeware software (the version for Windows has the most features) the Android and IOS versions don't have quite as much functionality.  You also need a modified ELM327 (a good one) myself and most of the regulars on here purchased ours from here.

     

    There's also a good few posts on the forum that go into more details regarding using Forscan.
