ok - try this... keyless fob in my pocket.....I walk up to my cx7 - push the button on the drivers handle once - get in and close the door. My wife walks up to the passenger door (with her fob in her purse). I hit the unlock button on the drivers door panel (inside the car). The door does not unlock. I then reach over and physically flip the lock botton on the passenger door. The door still does not unlock. I pull the handle on the passenger door to open the door.... and the alarm goes off! I think since we were both in proximity to the doors... the car thought I was not inside since her key was still outside the vehicle... and when I attempted to open the doors from inside it thought there was an intrusion. weird! The horn is really loud though !

Replying to: 1stmazda (Aug 08, 2006 6:30 am) I'm guessing you maybe had the fob in your wallet, and if you sat down with your wallet in your back pocket, something {your butt} hit the lock button on the fob, this locks the doors and arms the alarm. When you hit the switch on the passenger's door, you triggered the alarm. At least that's what happened to me!  Now I drive with my wallet out of my pocket, which is beter on the back anyway!

Replying to: astegman (Aug 08, 2006 8:54 am) When you get out of the car and close the door, it chirps once to let you know it's activated. Then when you walk away from the car (maybe 6 feet or so?), it'll chirp again and lock all the doors. To get in the car, you leave the sensor in your pocket, walk up to the driver or passenger doors, or the liftgate, and press a little button on the handle. The driver button unlocks the driver door with one press, and all the doors with two. The passenger and liftgate buttons both unlock all the doors with one press. BTW, autolock is not enabled by default. If you want to have it turned on, you should let them know so they can do it as part of prep. The car has to be hooked up to a computer, so it's not something you can do yourself at home.

I had the auto lock activated today, while the car was in for the check engine light (2nd time, but whatever). My question is: once you turn off the car and get out and shut your door, how long should it normally take for the car to lock itself? The technician came outside with me to demonstrate it, and it took well over a minute, maybe two, after I'd turned the car off, gotten out, closed the door, and walked away. Is that normal? Seemed like a long time.

Replying to: astegman (Sep 08, 2006 11:39 am) You have time to close the drivers door, then walk around the back and open the gate to get your groceries, if you want. If you close the door and walk away, the doors will lock when your're maybe 7 ft away or so. I happen to love the autolock, and never thought I would.
