When do you use the door code?

I use the door code fairly regularly. At home, I keep my keys upstairs in my nightstand usually. If I'm downstairs/outside and need to get into the truck quick, I can just punch in the code and I'm in.
I've also used it while camping. If we leave the campsite to go out walking and I don't feel like carrying my keys with me, rather than leave the keys in the tent, I'll throw 'em in the console of the truck and lock it up...then just enter the code when we return.
Another time it's been handy...if I have the vehicle in for service for the day, and they have the key and I forget to take my spare, I can have them throw the key in the console and lock it up in case I can't get there before they close.
Overall I think it's a handy feature.

Makes sense. The navigator has shown as a key functionality so as long as I have my phone on me the car will unlock. But without that I can understand how it would be helpful

Curious if locking car with the keypad also activates the alarm? It doesn’t beep like it does with the key...?

Kinda weird isn’t it? You’re going to leave you keys, phone and wallet in the car and the alarm can’t be set?

Well if you do it when bowling then I guess you’re right...it’s not weird!
Yeah but it is actually weird limitation though that you can’t have the alarm on when you use the keypad.
Actually, really weird the more I think about it. In fact there must by a way to do it...
Anyone?

The vehicle owner’s manual for my 2015 Expedition Limited 4x4 states the keypad can be used to arm and disarm the security system.

Every day, every time. I rarely take my keys in with me except at home. If I go shopping I lock them in the truck. When I'm at work I lock them in the truck. If we go out to eat I lock them in the truck. If we go to the movies I lock them in the truck. I might start taking them with me in the winter as my new Expedition has a remote start...

Really? I had no idea you could buy a car without an alarm lol. What year?
I use the key pad all the time. Used a mirror to easily access sticker w/the #'s, also I read instructions to program custom code (in the manual). Use it every day getting in and and locking or just needing to open the rear hatch or glass.
I have a 2nd gen so no press button start. I do have a spare house and truck key hidden inside. I do find the keypad very helpful though.
Just a note, and this thread was sort of a reminder - I'm down to one key fob and even though I rarely use it I need to buy two 4-button fobs before this one goes bye bye. Have two factory keys but also thinking of making tow more copies since you do have to have two of those to copy.
And yes, I do believe the alarm, or rather engine disable system is enabled with the keypad.
