Oops, never tried to imply that it was unique to Tesla. I only have experience with that in my Tesla so I'm just comparing it with a situation I'm familiar with. I'm sure a lot of other models do that, so I was just wondering if Ford implemented it for this specific car.
ok that was a very good job with an excellent turnaround time. you get today's Great Post (TM)(R)(C)(XYZ) award. it's like a ticket, but a positive one.Hey, it comes with a FRUNK button?
Now a Faraday bag is something I can speak to, having used one for years. The F-150 crowd uses them when they go hiking, biking etc., and don't want to take the fob with them. They hide the bag & fob in the many hiding places on their F-150, and use the keypad for entry.
Put it in the frunk?It may be that there is a place you can hide the fob-in-a-bag well enough that it won't be easily found - the glove compartment doesn't count.I don't have my car yet to play around and see.

Neither do I. Only my wife and I drive our cars and park them, too. I have never needed or will need a valet.
All Fords with the door key pad will lock by just touching the 7-8 and 9-0 keys simultaneously with two fingertips. The car will soundly lock and flash the parking lights as a confirmation. I do this because it is simple and easier than taking out the fob and pressing the Lock button. It also saves the fob battery. This is a conscient act, so I will always remember that the car is locked.
I expect it to not pair because it may have a different frequency.I wonder if I'll be able to pair the 1995 Mustang GT remote I found a few weeks ago to use as a spare fob. ?

I was being a bit facetious - even if it's the same frequency, I'm sure security has progressed at least a little tiny bit in 26 years as far as fob-to-car communication is concerned. ?
No, because it takes more work and energy to remove and replace the hubcap on any car. One idea would be modifying the fob with a slide switch to disconnect the cell and prevent the car from detecting it if left inside. Then use the door keypad to lock when leaving, and to unlock when returning.Hubcap.
