Yes if u lock it from the passenger side door then open it using the key pad. I use it on those cold winter mornings

Something that always bugged me on my 06 crew lariat is that when I get out it doesn't have auto unlock. It auto locks all the doors when you put it in drive. If you have an info center you can turn off the auto lock function through that along with the auto headlight timer time.

Under the middle on my bench seat would be a great spot for an amp

i put a small powered sub under mine. Works great, nobody knows it is there, and no real wasted space. Not a ‘booming system” (which is not what I wanted anyway) but it fills out bass nicely.

The button is to activate the phone if you vehicle has the module which was an option not a standard feature.

There is actually a coin and card holder on the side wall inside the center console (if you have the full console instead of the bench seat)
