What kind of interest would there be in a way to do this? I think I have a pretty good idea with a few bits of hardware to make something. I am working on getting the parts to try it out for myself... once I confirm it works I'd be looking into making more boxes.

Would it be preferred to trigger it on loss of ignition or setting it into park? The ignition would be the easiest... I think I can modify what I have to work with park if I can find a wire or source point that changes when shifting into park.

Couldnt you use a stereo dvd parking break switch? Once the care is put into park it puts pressure onto the switch which will close a circuit?

don't turn off priority unlock if you have a ford alarm.you can program the ford remote start alarm to unlock when ignition is turned off.

Maybe... but there is a problem with that. Once it is on it is on. I wouldn't want to hold the locks open. But, that is a thought... let me play with that a bit. Do you have a link to an example of one? I thought this was built in to the DVD players and they just needed to see the voltage on the brake lever?

How? It seems that most do not have this capability... which is why we are discussing it

+1. An auto UNlock feature is really needed when you've got 4 doors... it really seems like an oversight that it's not there.

as a sidenote...I tried the hold the keyfob unlock+lock buttons thing...my lights did flash, but i'll be darned if I know what it changed about the truck -- anyone know what this is supposed to do?

I'm loving how these newer trucks can be custom programmed for the needs of the owner, and for free too.
Did you use this?

"
Keyless entry key pad procedure
1. Turn the ignition to the 1 (OFF/LOCK) position.
2. Close all the doors.
3. Enter 5–digit entry code
4. Press and hold the 7
• 8. While holding the 7 • 8 press the 3 • 4.
5. Release the 3
• 4.
6. Release the 7
• 8.
The user should receive a
horn chirp to indicate the system has been
disabled or a chirp followed by a honk to indicate the system has been
enabled."


It didn't work on my 04 SuperCrew......

Ill take a look around and find a link, and what i mean by closing the circuit is by using a relay switch that closes and releases, so that the circuit doesnt stay closed if that makes sense. ill have to try a diagram give me a min.
