Replying to: howardru (Oct 24, 2009 3:47 am) Howard is correct regarding #1. No way to life the gate with the touch pad. It is for lock/unlock only. For Autolock, I had it done and have "lived with it" for more than 1 year. As Howard said, it is a bit annoying when you want to park the CX9 unlocked (such as in your own garage or gas station). My way to deal with it is simple. At gas station, I leave the driver's door ajar. In my garage, I close the door and walk away simultaneously very quickly. This gives no time for Autolock to confirm your location. Therefore, no locking. If you can live with what I pointed out, you will love the rest of autolock. Dealer should do this for you for free. However, they may charge you if you change your mind later and want it off again. Replies to this message: tripl3threat (Oct 28, 2009 5:40 pm)

Replying to: ceric (Oct 26, 2009 3:50 pm) Thanks Howard and Ceric. I had the autolock turned on earlier this week and for the most part I like it. Seems a bit unpredictable, depending on quickly/slowly I get away from the car - evne the direction I go. Figure I'll live with for awhile and work it out.
