Auto lock cases?

I've got the alarm to auto arm so long after switching off, is there a way to auto lock the cases? I have the central locking option but am keen not to walk away from the bike with the cases unlocked.
I know there would be occasions when this would annoy me but it would be for the greater good.

Afraid not.  You can only lock them with the  fod.. The trick is to always leave them locked and only unlock when you need to open them and them immediately lock them when you close them, if you see what I mean.

That's what I've taken to doing but it would have been nice to have them lock with the alarm.

I agree - but that would have taken forethought on the part of the BMW designers!  It's just another on a growing list of minor irritations that (IMHO) let a fantastic bike down...

I wouldn't go that far... Just proves that there's still some (all be it) small areas for improvement. To be honest, the fact that this is all I can come up with is testament to how good it is.

Wait until you've done a few more miles - your list will grow...
