Bought the Mrs a Ford Focus tdi a few weeks back and it just occured to me that although it has central locking it dosn't have a remote fob or even buttons on the keys.
Is this the norm :question

Bit a pain having to put the key in the lock every time >:(

Have seen the 3 button fobs like we have on the works mondeo on ebay for varing amounts anybody know how i go about upgrading to a remote.

TIA

Cant say for sure, I did hire a Focus TDi back in (about) 2001, do remember it had remote locking though, which flavor is it?

CL didn't have remote locking IIRC.

I figured that much was just wondering if it can be added :question

Thought you meant you wondered if it was supposed to have it  :y

I did at first but have been reliably informed (Google ::) ) that chances are it didn't. SWMBO giving me grief about not being able to 'zap it' like her old car  ;D ;D

Might be easier to fit a cheapo aftermarket alarm system thats got remote locking option.

Was thinking that might be the case anybody any suggestions and FFS don't let SWMBO know that you can get remote start versions  ;D ;D ;D
