As Dixy's car is 2011 he has the ability to enable or disable drive-away locking from the vehicle settings menu on the TFT monitor along with a few other things that used to be dealer programmable I agree though that its daft that when you stop and open one of the doors that you are not able to unlock all of them without pressing the button on the dash - This includes the boot which is why drive away locking is firmly disabled on my car - Shame really as on a RRS it works how I would like it

I also cant remember the last reported "car jacking" in the Home Counties but I can see why in some Countries this is a very necessary feature

Not wanting to defend the stealer but from 2010MY onwards most of the programmable dealer enabled options are now DIY which maybe why they now dont mention it

This doesn't help with one of the original request about folding mirrors though

Thanks for all the replies. Spoke to dealer who is being sort of helpfull.
the car is booked in for other things and they will do all they can and then talk again which is a start. I just hope they do not try and bullshit. letters not necessarily in the right order

Noted on my part as well. I'll consider carefully before disabling it again. Bloody shame the central locking doesn't just unlock the whole car when you open the door. SWMBO had this in her A3which worked perfectly so its a pity the FF can't! Cheers all.
