Don't think there is a way to set Autolock but if you manage to do that we would be interested to know.
As on "tok tok" sound when driving over uneven or bad-surfaced roads, I don't think it is from the ABS? Rather, it is from the suspension. Unfortunately the suspension of the Focus is not very quiet. Several(if not all) Focus owners including myself have complained to the service centre on the noisy suspension when going over bad roads. The sound from the suspension when going over uneven road is akin to some loose plastic bottles hitting against each other. It is likely not a defect, in other words, it is normal. Perhaps an oversight or lack of consideration on this area when they design the car. Though, it is not too bad. Slightly noisier than Japanese equivalents but still acceptable.
Can't help you on streaming songs from your iPhone via bluetooth as I usually play the songs from a USB stick.
And yes, the handling of the Focus at the bends is quite splendid as it sticks to the road like a leech. Somehow it seems like the car can sense that the driver is in fast-n-furious mode and automatically adjusts itself to stick to the ground even more. You feel in total control as the car glides through the bends, and body roll is minimal even though you take a bend or corner at relatively high speeds. A fun car to drive especially if you like to drive a bit faster than normal speeds.
Hi SportyHandling, thanks for the clarification. You're absolutely right about the noise from suspension..."The sound from the suspension when going over uneven road is akin to some loose plastic bottles hitting against each other."
Though its not a problem but sometimes it annoys me as I use lots of gravel/dirt road.. anyway got to learn to deal with it
I do use thumb drive for song occasionally but I stream BT audio from my phone mainly when using Waze so that I get the waze prompts from the car speakers. If use Radio/CD/USB then there won't be any sound from the waze
BTW, some times I find it difficult to move the shift from P to R when I'm going back after work. Its like the shift is stuck and I have to forcefully pull it to R. Anyone had this issue?
