Intellegent Key Port
 

Anyone find it Yet? Great place to put your fob.

doesnt the car lock it self after 2 minutes? wether the fob is in the car or not.

If thats true sounds like a horrible place for me to lock my keys into the car.

pocket only for me.

Car won't lock with the "intelligent" key inside. No problem that way.

Also it's useful to know that if the battery inside the key dies, the only way to start the car is to have the intelligent key in the port. Might save you from being stranded sometime, clutching the (useless) key and swearing at the car...

ITS CALLED A FOBGINA!!!! just remember to pull out when your done :eekdance:

Here we go again. Go ahead and throw in the NSFW tag now.

HAHAHAHA!!! come on he left himself open for it :bowrofl:

No, we've not found it yet...

Is this true? Didn't remember seeing that in the owners manual....... locks itself after 2 minutes?

Not been my experience...

I leave my car unlocked in the garage (bad habit, I know), it does NOT lock itself.

That was one thing on my "wish list"................ the ability to program the locking system to automatically lock the vihicle when the fob was outside the car and exited range, you could just park, walk away to your destination and the car automatically lock.

John

Do you mean that it can do it, just you have to program it to?

No, I mean I "wish" the system had that ability programmed into it.

Forrest, I've had the same happen while in the car with the doors closed at first I was wtf! but could not remember what if anything I was doing to that would make the doors to auto lock by themselves being parked. I hope it's not some glitch.

Actually you can lock the car with the key inside but it isn't an issue because you can also unlock it because the ability to lock/unlock is based on proximity. With the key inside, it's plenty close enough to work. LOL. BTW, I know this is true because one time my key slipped out of my pocket and slid between seat and console. I realized I didn't have the key on me after I locked the car and started to walk away. I knew I had just driven the car so the key had to be either on the ground near the car or inside it. Touched the access button and, voila, the door unlocked.

i hear my doors lock all the time. I cant tell if i push the button in my pocket but since its a constant thing i think my car locks it self. my pants are loose i dont believe i am locking it, but then again maybe i am.

From the factory.................. after you drive off, when you hit 15 MPH, the doors automatically lock...... safety feature. Instructions in your owners manual how to unprogram it if you want.

John

im actualy out side polishing the car when i hear it lock. car is not moving

Oh yea, that thing happens to me as well, and I swear I haven't accidently pressed the button, even though the key is in my pocket. Weird.

John

^pretty common feature of most cars in the past few years.

Forrest, I don't know if this fits your circumstances or not, but if you unlock the car and then don't get in or open the door, the doors will automatically relock after a short amount of time. They're designed that way. Any time I deliberately unlock my doors for cleaning or whatever, I make sure to open the door, then shut it. The act of opening the door disables the automatic re-lock.

that might be whats happenining. I should test when i get some time

You are correct. Just tried it and it took about a minute to re-lock.

Most guys have problems finding the fobgina. Just takes a little practice.

For a while I thought it was a glitch because now that you put it that way that's the exact situation when the door locks would lock. I"ll try to remember. Thanks for info

If that's the case, then I guess if someone wanted to car jack...they'd just need to push the button to unlock it from the outside?

So much for that extra piece of mind (if that's the case)

Oohhh....good question! I think some testing is in order!

Fobgina? Where the hell is that lol?

^^^ oh that's the fobgina lol! I play... I mean, I use that all the time...
