Hi peeps, hope everyone is well,

Anyways i was messing today with my IDS VCM on my Focus 1.8tdci 2006 and i came across something i never notice before....

How many times do you need to press the key fob to get the boot open?

two times? one time?

Well i didnt notice until i tested, and it was definitely twice for me. I came across an option to change it to 1...but i suppose 2 is stop miss press when you walk away from your car.

I know its little but it bewildering that i managed to miss that. :lol:
