iPhone Passcode (Find My iPhone)

I'm just setting up MobileMe (at long last) and I want it so that you need a Pin Code to disable the 'Find My iPhone' feature. However when I go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock, it makes it like a regular phone pin number that's needed to turn it on and unlock it etc.

I only want the 'Find My iPhone' feature PIN locked, not the the normal use of the phone. Is this possible?

Not too sure what you mean? The 'Find My iPhone' feature can't be disabled from the phone itself, it's done through MobileMe.

On the iPhone if I go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, there's the option to turn off Find My iPhone.

I would like it so that a passcode is required to turn it off (and Location Services under Settings > General) wheras what I've managed to do is make it require a passcode to access the iPhone at all.

You can't.

Ah I see, I couldn't find that setting!

But yeah, there's no way to PIN protect that.
