I just read the spec for this device...nice features but one I'd like to disable:
The "Lock-In" feature locks the doors once the car starts moving. In contrast to the original Porsche feature which can only be enabled or disabled at the dealership, this feature is user-programmable and even better, optionally the doors also unlock when the engine is switched off and the key removed
I always run with the doors unlocked. I've read over the years about failed rescue attempts due to first to the scene rescuers (typically passing citizens who saw an accident) not being able to open doors and pull victims from vehicles.... sure, professionals have the tools to bust windows, etc. but they can be a long time in arriving. I'd like to see a system when the doors auto lock until you're at speed...say 25mph or so...allowing safety to exit dark parking structures, etc... re-lock for stops, signs, stop lights etc (thwart car jackings)...(system needs to be smart enough to know an accident is different than a traffic stop) then unlock at speed again...
Any creative geniuses out there?
