Auto lock function

Some of the more upmarket cars have an autolock function when your vehicle moves off. Unfortunately, Toyota Wish does not have this function. Some after market alarm systems offers a weird alternative whereby you have to unbuckle your seatbelt and step on the brake. But it only works once. Seem more like a functional hassle than a safety feature.

There is an alternative which is an add on module. It allows you to lock the door in 2 ways. Either when you step on your brakes or when your RPM goes up to above 2000. I would take the second option as it's very much like the Honda Civic that I used to drive. It will have to tap into the ECU to get the RPM reading though. Anyway, it cost S$150 and for those interested, it can be done at

Wee Heng Auto
460/462 Upper Serangoon Road

Tel: 6281 6739

Anyone interested? Maybe we can go do it together?

Cheers,
