If you turn off your car and walk away without pressing lock on the remote, the doors WILL stay open. There is no OEM option that changes this for the first gen. The option we are talking about is an auto RElock. When the fx is already parked and locked, pressing the unlock button on the remote and then not opening a door will trigger the fx to RElock itself automatically.
There are aftermarket option that will lock your fx for you after driving off or if you forget to lock it yourself. Either an afteermarket alarm system or the kp module.
And a skid plate gone...
It's still gonna be unlocked...
It only relocks if you unlock it and don't open any doors, assuming that's turned on.
it won't cost more than $150 for the dealer to reprogram your existing keys and block out the missing key from working on your fx...
this has nothing to do with new keys or anything like that, this is just so if anyone did find the key you lost they can't start the car. worth doing if you're worried someone may have found your lost key
The escutcheon mod is only a visual deterrent such as The Club. It will make the opportunist thief walk past your car. But a determined criminal with the right tools and know how will still target your car and get what they want just as easily.Would the Escutcheon Mod be recommended for something like this?
