Default Alarm system question

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know how to make it so that the alarm automatically turns on and locks the doors if you forget to lock it yourself?

Is it even possible?

Thanks!

Well..that isn't possible because that would just make peoples' lives harder. But if you press the unlock button on your remote key and don't touch any of the doors, it'll lock the doors and arm itself in about 30 seconds..

No, I mean after about 30 or 60 seconds. I don't think it would be an inconvenience. If anything, it's helping out the owner, because then anyone can just go in the car without the key (it'll remain unlocked)

It would also mean that if you drove it home and left it in the garage, it would lock itself. I wouldn't like that. No, it doesn't lock itself.

Something like if your alarm/key thing is a certain distance away from your car when it's off would probably be what you're looking for. Unfortunately, they didn't program it to be that way. That would actually be pretty good though.
