@Monks600 excellent find, thanks for sharing. I'll be doing the same after my sync 3 upgrade.

Best part is, you can buy button stickers on eBay of a padlock for fords and it honestly looks OEM.

Although, you might want to go for the facelift centre console 

and then you lose those buttons. 

I know its a bit of an old thread now but this really helped me get to where I am now with my alternative central locking button.

 

Here it is 😄

After another look and tracng wires from the door to inside of car I'm afraid it doesn't seem posisble without drilling a hole in the the C25 connector. to add extra wires. The harness going to the door in my car doesn't include the keyless wiring so there are no spare wires I can reuse.

I am probably either going to try and mount the facelift door lock switch somewhere in the centre console or just purchase one of those push button with led from eBay/Amazon and wire to that.

I wired the facelift door lock switch temporarily to wires 2 (door lock status led) and 6 (lock/unlock signal) of the original FCIM harness and the button and lock status led do work.

I'm trying to find out if I can use the facelift central lock/unlock switch and wire to the FCIM as per your instructions for momentary switch in the BVC upgrade guide.

Wires 2 and 6 go to which pin on the facelift switch as it has the 5 pin connector

Do you have a diagram of pin wiring or any other info I would be stoked

Thanks

Is that as much work as it seems

Thus would be ideal after upgrading to Sync 3

First look seems easy modifying button etc but then it gets very technical with circuit boards and soldering

Woow it is really handy... Have you sandpapered the button fot the LED to be visible? I am considering doing this as well aand to make the lock/unlock icon on it as well so it is lit by the blue backlight. 😄 Anyone has tried similar icon carvings to a blank button?
