Power door Locks how to turn off

[JCSSCamaro]

I hate driving away and the doors locking? I have tried several settings to stop this, but have yet to find a way?


I want total control of when the doors lock and when they UNLOCK

anyone?

You're out of luck here.

The doors are going to lock every time you put the car in drive or reverse. I don't think there's a setting to change this.

Im with you on that.. I dont like it either

[Michael_Js]

I guess it's a personal thing. I have no issue with that. What I dislike is shutting off the ignition and the doors unlock! Glad that was programmable!!
