Hey guys, The odd time I have forgotten to lock my truck and some idiot comes by and tries car doors to see if they are unlocked and if they are takes what he cans.

Like I said, the odd time I forget to lock my truck. Has anyone figured out, or is it possible, to get the locks to lock automatically if you forget and/or get the alarm to auto set? I know there is a setting in the advance settings but this is not what I am referring to.

I use to have an old alarm years ago that would automatically lock the doors if I forgot.

Anything in ForScan that can be adjusted to do this?

Truck is a 2016 Lariat

 

Don't know anything about autolock, but in Forscan you can program auto relock. Whereas if you hit unlock with your fob and don't open the door within 45 seconds it will relock.

 

Are you sure--Im thinking that is not possible cause it was asked before and the answer was no!! I think it depends on the year truck!

 

No, you cannot automatically lock your doors.

 

yes, done that already

 

Someone needs to figure this out. If you can have your locks autolock when you unlock with the key FOB, then somehow it should be able to autolock after a set time once the ignition is turned off.

 

Been locking my vehicles since I started driving. Used to lock them in my garage when my kids were younger, most people don't do that. I watched a neighbor's kid playing with the gearshift and got it out of Park and nearly rolled over his little brother had I not yelled very loudly. I can't say that I've ever forgotten to lock my vehicle.

If it did it automatically, you'd get a bunch of people complaining that it did.

 

 

All cars I've owned since I can remember auto-lock if you unlock the doors but don't open one. But that obviously requires that you locked them first . Never heard that a car can lock doors automatically. And yes, I'd be one that wouldn't like it. Ha ha. But as long as there was the option to enable or disable, I wouldn't care. What I also did was to fold mirrors when locked, so I can easily tell if truck is locked or not. I rarely lock it, to be honest. I also wish the running boards would stay out until you turn ignition on again, rather than the incessant deploy and retract. But nothing is perfect, so we have to live with little things that we don't like . Good luck.
