Re: <Poll> Locking Up
I hit the inside lock button just after starting to open the door, all in one smooth motion. If others are in the car with me, I might hit that lock button after opening my door, waiting for the other doors to open first.

Being female my fob is rarely out of my purse so I use the button on the outside to lock it up when I leave. I teach near a junior high and don't want to give the orney ones any excuse to mess with my car.
BTW, we have had some cold weather here and I have opened the door up with the handle and wearing gloves with no problem. I remember a discussion a while back about whether gloves would get in the way.

Have to say, not the results I expected. Please note, I was specifically referring to locking the car, not unlocking. I suspect most of use the smart key to get in. I asked because I find the position of the button awkard when I close the door.

Hmm. Now I am wondering if I am the only one who has his keyfob and lojack transmitter clipped to a belt loop
