Is there a separate key for the glove box lock on the 2018-19 cars, or are we expected to use the key hidden in the remote? I know in the past Ford provided an additional headed key for the glove box.

My guess would be the hidden key on the fob. I've not attempted to lock it so I've not looked for the key and I have not seen another key.

Since the new 2018+ FOB has an easy-release physical key instead of the hidden key you needed take the 2015-2017 FOB apart to get to it no longer comes with that extra physical key.

I can easily lock/unlock my glove box with the key that easily comes out of the FOB.

What would be nice is a lock that actuates with the electric door locks, so whenever you remotely lock your doors, the glove box & center console are locked too.

F-150 finally added it to their tailgates after years of people stealing $1000+- tailgates off of trucks. I had to manually add one to prior years with a kit / electric solenoid system.

I agree. My car does lock the console when I activate the "Valet" mode but not the glove box. Maybe that's because I have the extended security package (I don't know). That reminds me of another shortcoming of this car. The "Valet" mode only locks the console and makes the radio/nav locked out. My Scatpack had a Valet mode that actually changed my 0-60 time from 4 seconds to 9.8 seconds.

Dealers and maybe locksmiths can make glove box keys.

Note not all trim level versions have electronic glove box or console locks.

My enhanced security package probably is responsible for the console lock with the "Valet" mode. I see no reason why your key would not open the glove box if it has a lock. But that's just me I guess.

The Mustang already does this... It's called the "Enhanced Security Package" and also adds wheel locks and a steering wheel lock. It's worth the $295.

ESP is $395 and wasn't worth it for me. $100 for aftermarket wheel locks and done. Around here, the bad guys prybar the gloveboxes...

Wow did not know the SP had the hp/gear limiter valet mode, thought that valet mode was exclusive to only SRT and Hellcat, unless the later years got an update to add it to SP or was a Tazer used to unlock SRT pages?

Wish the 18+ Mustang GT had this feature, 460HP is a lot too. Would be handy to limit it at oil changes etc.

My center console does this, but the glovebox doesn’t. Part of the safe and secure pkg
