If you use the 7/9 just remember you need to use pillar unlock or press unlock button. Useful for leaving your phone in the car.

What about the alarm. I read on this forum that it is only activated with FOB.. True??
I only get the honk and lights when I lock with the FOB.

Correct.
Over the years, people have said that various Ford vehicles only arm the alarm system when locked in specific ways. For example, if you open the door and hit the interior lock button, then close the door, "it won't arm".
I tested this specific case on the Mach-E and it is not true. Every method of locking the car arms the system.

The walk away lock is inconsistent for me too. Sometimes it locks as I walk away after what I feel is a typical time/distance (based on my previous GM car and based on rental cars). Other times it takes a really long time.
The manual actually does say that it will take 2.5 minutes, but I assumed/hoped that that was a typo; that much time is enough for you to walk into a building and have your things stolen. And sometimes it does lock in much less time than that.
Flashing lights and folding mirrors to indicate the lock are nice, except that when I'm walking away, I have my back to the car and don't see any of that. The car is capable of making friendlier sounds than the honking horn, it would be nice if it would do that as the locking indicator.
