(Not that I have any children, so who knows if this would even happen...but for the sake of discussion, let's say 'errant female companions'...indeed, the very same ones that slam the car door by using the window....UGH!)

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.

I don't want my doors to lock automatically when I turn the ignition on or when I drive away, and I sure as he77 don't want to have to pull the door handle twice to open it.
The manual says this can be re programed by an authorized dealership, but is there a DIY procedure?
Thanks!
You cannot DIY...have to have the dealer turn the feature off.
My car did NOT have it..and I had it turned on. I liked the doors to lock when I drove away. They auto lock at around 15mph. You have to double click because the doors are locked. If you unlocked them using the button you wouldnt have to double click them.
I think the double click is pretty standard...in my old BMW E39 when the doors were locked, you had to double click to open as well.
Yes, you need a PST2 or PIWIS to program the door locks.
Your options are:
Version 1 - The doors are automatically locked as soon as the ignition is switched on.
Version 2 - The doors are automatically locked if the vehicle exceeds a limit speed of 5 km/h.
Version 3 - The doors are automatically locked as soon as the ignition is switched on. If the doors are opened while the engine is running, automatic re-locking takes place if the vehicle exceeds a limit speed of 5 km/h.
Version 4 - The doors are not locked automatically.
Note: Automatically locked doors can be opened by pressing the central locking button (central locking switch) or by pulling on the door handle twice.
It must be a location thing. I have to assume you are afraid someone will open the door and *jack* you while stopped at a light? In Vancouver here that doesn't happen, yet anyway.
I don't understand why you would want or need your doors locked while you are driving the car otherwise. You can't be afraid you will accidentally open the car door and fall out will you.
I'm version 4 baby...FTW as they say over on the Subaru board (I had to look it up. It means "For The Win")
If you have a cab try the RemoteTop. It allows you to program the auto lock function without a PST2. It costs about $300, so it is more expensive than having the stealer reprogram it but you also get alot of other functions.
to answer GODSPEED...yes it can. I had it turned on and I have an 01
and maybe it is different in Canada...I guess living in LA...takes it toll. I just feel safer knowing my doors are locked. Go figure..
Right on AI, it only takes one time to regret not having the doors locked. By the way, from what I recall, and I'll check this tonight, I think the doors automatically unlock when I turn off the car so you don't need to double pull the door handle. Mind you, I really am not bothered by the double pull anyway, and it would protect against errant children playing with everything in the car and accidentally cracking the door. (Not that I have any children, so who knows if this would even happen...but for the sake of discussion, let's say 'errant female companions'...indeed, the very same ones that slam the car door by using the window....UGH!)
Well, yeah - that's what got me going in the first place, all that noise and commotion - I'm just trying to open the dorr for gosh sakes! If they unlocked when I turned the car off it wouldn't be a big deal. But they don't. Not in my setup anyway.
yeah that was my gripe too..that the doors DID NOT UNLOCK when the ignititon was turned off..
but hey you get used to it...so when I have a passenger I just push the central lock or tell them to double click it before they break my handle.
