Ford Focus runlock system
The CAN KONTROL RUNLOCK is a CAN based runlock system for the Ford Focus from 2005 to present. It keeps the engine running with the key removed and the doors locked on the original remote, for taxi, private-hire and security work where a car is left running but must stay secure. Handbrake, pedal and door interlocks return it to normal as soon as it is driven. The unit is configured to the vehicle at installation.
- The unit reads ignition, road speed, handbrake, pedal and door state from the vehicle CAN bus.
- With the interlock conditions met, it holds the engine running after the key is removed.
- Opening the driver door, pressing a pedal or releasing the handbrake outside the set conditions returns the vehicle to normal and shuts the runlock state down.
- It is configured to the vehicle and application, and can be moved to another vehicle if the fleet changes.

Why fit runlock system to a Ford Focus
Runlock is less common on a car than a van, but the jobs are real: private-hire waiting with the heating on, security and surveillance vehicles, and cars carrying powered equipment. On a Ford Focus it keeps the engine and the cabin live while the doors are locked, and hands back the moment the driver takes the seat. Read off the bus, nothing is cut into.
Where a Ford Focus is used for waiting or surveillance work, runlock lets it sit with the engine running, the cabin warm and the doors locked, without a key left in an empty car. The CAN KONTROL RUNLOCK enforces handbrake, pedal and door interlocks so the engine only holds while the conditions are safe, and returns control the instant they are not.

- Yes. The CAN KONTROL RUNLOCK is a CAN based runlock system configured for the Ford Focus (2005 to present). Tell us the vehicle and we confirm the configuration for the job.
- Is runlock suitable for a private-hire Ford Focus left waiting with the engine on?
- Yes. Runlock lets the Ford Focus wait with the heating running, the key removed and the doors locked, then hands control straight back when the driver returns. The engine only holds while the handbrake is set and no pedal is pressed, so it cannot be driven away in the runlock state.
- Can the runlock system be moved to another vehicle?
- Yes. The unit is programmable and can be reconfigured and moved to another vehicle if the fleet changes. Configuration updates are free, handled by us as the manufacturer.
- Is it safe to leave the engine running with the key out?
- The runlock only holds the engine running while the handbrake is set and the interlock conditions are met. Opening the driver door, pressing a pedal or releasing the handbrake outside those conditions shuts the runlock state down.
