I wish the key has separate buttons for locking and unlocking. Drives me nuts that I'm never sure if the car is locked or unlocked when I click on it.
yes me too. I think it's a form of obsessive compulsive disorder. Sometimes I walk a hundred metres back to my car to check.
On the few occasions when I lock my car (and, of course, then have to unlock it), I can
clearly hear
the locks engage and later dis-engage. I don't quite understand what the issue/problem is.

Porsche have cleverly designed their cars with a system to help all of you with this problem.
After locking the car, hearing the locks drop, watching the indicators flash twice and seeing the interior lights extinguish, you can use the fourth manual confirmation device. It's a small handle on the door. If you raise this and the door doesn't open, the car is locked. If the door opens, repeat the process from the start.
Those crafty Germans, they think of everything!
All could be solve if there were separate and distinct lock and unlock buttons like all other manufacturers.
Wouldn't that be the next best thing coming out of Stuttgart since mid engine porsches. :banana:
If you lock your car - then unlock it by accident as you walk away - it is just going to re-lock itself. It will always return to the locked position unless you open a door.
I actually like that the remote lock/unlock is a "toggle" function. This way, I don't have to look at the remote to figure out which button to push, I can do it by feel. My wife's VW has separate buttons for lock and unlock, and it's a pain to have to stop and look at the remote to find the right button to push before I can get in or walk way.
Good point - I forgot that it did that (as I discovered accidentally a couple of weeks ago - I know, should have read the manual . . . again
)
Do you really want them to make the key yet another inch bigger to accomodate that 4th button? =)
I don't understand this complaint at all.
My key to another car has the two buttons and I hate it. That just makes TWO things to have to remember.
One button is so much simpler
Think Apple
Ok looks like two button preference is a minority.
and a small one at that...
...next it will be one combined button for both trunks.
If you lock the car and then release the trunk it will unlock the doors too and leave the whole car unprotected
