Thanks. I didn't see it either, but was wondering if it was perhaps a
"secret undocumented feature"...

Thanks for your opinion. I find it a useful feature, whether you do or
not.

That's nice. What does that have to do with my question?

It locks the doors without any required action by the driver/passengers,

Yeah. No . What does that have to do with my question?

Again, your (unrequested) opinion is noted.

In the future, don't bother replying to a question of mine, if you don't
know the answer. Have a good one.

Hey, look, you're just as much of an here as you are in the Ubuntu
group... If you'd have bothered to look, I followed up directly to that
post, and was the only one here who tried to actually address your

What a douche...
