I want to lock my keys inside!..pls advise

I thought, and evidently must be mistaken, but I thought I understood that with a proximity key - when its locked inside the car, that ANY press of a button on the exterior keypad would unlock the doors. So there is convenience verses security if thats the case.

I have kept my keys locked in my F250, F150 and Expedition forever! ALL my keys have been kept in there. Stupid? Probably, yes - but convenient for sure. Mant of my Buds know the door code. Stupid again, yes. Convenient, yes and yes.

As a matter of fact, all the codes were the same.

Take my truck, enter my home? Better not let me catch you.

If you have good friends and good firearms, you'll never have a problem. If you lay with dogs, however...

Well Flexpedition I sure hope you are mistaken... but on my next test drive I will confirm that the key fob is able to be locked in the vehicle with only the correct keypad combo being able to open it.

Nope, doesn't work that way. With the FOB locked inside the vehicle, you must enter the entire keypad code to unlock the door(s).

Proximity will only work when you have the FOB outside the vehicle...then you press any digit on the keypad and the vehicle will unlock.

I have verified this many times.

On my 2017 Limited I leave the fob under the seat at all times. I exit the vehicle and press the last button 8-9 and the doors lock. Easy, and it works for me.

Correct. I’ve verified this too. Love the tech of proximity keyless. It just plain works.

I have to press 7/8 9/0 simultaneously to lock my doors and I have a ‘17 Limited. I’ll have to try this.
