Another point of clarification...are you referring to locking when you are inside the car or outside...totally different methods! Methinks you were referring to locking when you are outside?

Re: <Poll> Locking Up

A little trick I came up with yesterday. I changed out my cell phone so I had one of those little belt clips extra. So I took my spare key fob and used a little 3M command adhesive to attch it to the clip. It sits on my belt really nicely for when I don't want to use my 'biner. I need to find a good solution for the lojack fob with that one tho.

Re: <Poll> Locking Up

I always use my fob... it's in my pocket, and I don't even bother taking it out

I like closing the door, walking away, and clicking the "lock" button twice without even looking back.

The nice beeping sound makes it seem like my car has just magically decided to lock down on it's own to unobservant bystanders!

I thought I'd get tired of that... but it's been a couple months now - still fun!
