On a 996 (and others presumably), the doors automatically lock when driving off. Is there any way of having the system programmed so that when you turn off the ignition/remove the key at your destination that the doors are automatically unlocked?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

On my 997 the auto-lock feature is dealer switchable. The doors then unlock with first pull of the inner door handle, and open on the second.

One of the first things I had disabled on my 996.2 GT3. OPC or indie with a Durametric - it takes less than 5 minutes.
I'm ok with the auto lock (although I could probably live without it), I just wish it would auto unlock at the other end of the journey.
No auto unlock I'm afraid.
If you think about why it exists (perceived safety in cities) it wouldn't really make sense to have an auto unlock feature, as the whole point is to only unlock at the point you're literally getting out of the car i.e. when you pull the handle.
