On our YouTube Channel (http://goo.gl/8iyFmH) we recently demonstrated how to program a spare keyless remote (http://goo.gl/BRQow4) in a Ford F250. This got me thinking about our F250’s autolock feature.

On paper, autolock is a nice feature – the doors automatically lock once the truck moves faster than 5 MPH. It makes sense in theory.
There’s only one problem with autolock: it often succeeds in locking me out of the vehicle. Doh!
To be more accurate, autolock succeeds in locking both doors – driver side and passenger side.
I can’t count how many times I’ve stopped the truck, gotten outside, and approached the passenger door only to find it locked.
Our F250 has no keypad entry on the passenger side; it’s only on the driver side. So if I’m locked out on the passenger side, I must make the long long trek back to the driver side.
I know it’s a First World Problem, but it’s a problem nevertheless.
The upshot? I’d remove an annoyance from my life if the autolock was disabled.
Well guess what? If I’d taken the time to RTFM (“read the Ford manual“) I would’ve found that it’s surprisingly easy to activate and deactivate the autolock feature.
So we made a video demonstrating just that.
