That requires actually holding the fob. Since I don't need to hold the fob to unlock the car or start the car, its not consistent to have to hold the fob to get clear feedback that the car is locked. And for anyone who keeps the fob in a purse or anywhere other than an easy accessible place, double pushing a button on the fob isn't practical.
Now I have heard it all.
We may be distant relatives. I remember my great grandfather saying similar things about how electric starters turned automobile owners into wimps. Fortunately, I didn't inherit that gene.
Well, I could certainly do that. But, guess what - Ford actually designed the car to where you can lock it by touching the handle (like most other cars now on the planet). So, I prefer that method - call me crazy. My only point is that (unlike my other and prior cars, that subtly beep once when you hit lock with your hand), the Mustang doesn't appear to have that functionally. Yes, I'll survive without it. I really will.... It's just occasionally annoying to graze the handle as you're moving away (thinking you locked it) but you're pretty sure you didn't hear the very subtle locking mechanism sound (so you swing back to do it again to be sure, often realizing it didn't lock on attempt #1).
timing out the LED is to conserve battery. It's not much current draw, but lock your door at the airport and come back a week later... those two LEDs would leave you stranded.
And dont forget that all this negates the whole concept of advanced keyless entry, where you only need to have it with you.
THIS.
