This is news?? Out of all the things that could be innovated and reported upon, adding lock function to a 1 button remote is it? Who is in charge of design and engineering at Directed, and how in the world do they still have a position there? Hmmmm, press once for lock, twice for unlock, press and hold for start….. you mean to tell me that Directed and the 42 different brands they sell have never had this feature until now??

They just made a big deal calling it an “industry-first innovation” and “listening to customers and dealers” who have been requesting it for years. just makes them look out of touch.

Compustar has been doing it for even longer

In reply to Mike. so has compustar, and im sure others. I dont know if i would say its a "first" more of a "well everyone else does it, so we should too" just my opinion though. I say kudos to them for making changes that installers/retailers and consumers have asked for. Just goes to show that they do listen to info from the field and adapt. Cant knock them for that.

Hahaha, really? Excalibur has had 1-button lock/arm unlock/disarm with start for over 3 years now.
