Auto-Lock Door Bypass

cames4

Anyone know how to bypass the autolocks on the car? I hate it when a car thinks it knows more than me and I have many reasons why I do not want the doors to lock automatically.

Thoughts????

Jordo!

Can't you manually unlock them, or not unless youre below 11 mph?

Many reasons? Like what

I have never really had a problem with them. What's your reasoning behind this?

In my line of work, I need to be able to respond to issues and quickly... Thinking about buttons to push to get out of my car is not something I need as a distraction. :-) Goes for airbags and seatbelt warnings as well, I do not like companies forcing their ideas about safety on me. :-) Besides, I help pay for the roads and support police officers when I receive a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt. Call me an idiot if you will but if I want to get out of my car in a hurry, I want to be able to.

On a second note, I will now start researching how to disable the airbags..

Bank robber who has to run from the cops?
High school retard who does Chinese fire drills at every stoplight?
Participant in Bull Run and have to jump out of the car to save your passenger during each 'challenge' course?
Dominos pizza guy who has to get the pies to the customer in under 30 min?

What could you possibly do for work?

Security detail chase car if you must know; BUT on a side note, I do not want others telling me how to keep myself safe, I do that for a living. Yes, risk is increased without such features but with what I do, risk is higher wearing a seatbelt, auto-locking doors, and freaking airbags. If one is doing a pit manuver (which I pray I never have to do in the Z) I do not need to to worry about clicking, pressing, and deflating things in vehicle when I exit but thank you for all of your concerns.

As for pizza delivery, would be a very cool car for that AND probably get a lot of attention BUT, doubt if tips would be that great. People start to feel less sorry for someone delivering pizza in a new Z I would think.

I can understand all of your concerns except for the seatbelt. The seatbelt keeps you in place after a crash allowing for a fast exit. If it is not a crash situation it is easy to hit the release as or before you come to a stop so it is not it the way for fast egress. I find it hard enough staying in my seat with 1.3G direction changes while wearing the seatbelt (auto-x), without it I would likely end up in the passenger seat.

Granted in your position you have to weigh the pro's and con's of everything, but for everyone else here is a sample of what happens.

Have they even made a car in the past 10 years that didn't have the auto lock?

My 2009 Mazda 3 does not autolock. But then again, I did not upgrade to the Miata doors, which I'm sure lock, unlock, launch rockets and parallel park.

I have a 2010 Roadster and I can't find a way to disable the auto-lock function. According to section 3-5 of my owners manual I can turn the auto-unlock function on or off (where the car unlocks the doors when the car is turned off) but not the auto-lock at 15mph. Is this one of the differences between the '09 and '10 models? Also, there is no option on my trip computer to control this as someone suggested.

I'd really like the doors to lock when I walk away from the car. I don't see that as doable in the OM and can't seem to find it as an option in the settings of the control panel. Is this possible ? Wouldn't want to screw up the locking/ unlocking by pushing buttons randomly and hoping for the best. I got in the habit of not having to lock the doors on the last car. Being an old dog, I'm having trouble learning this new trick, but don't want to lose my stuff.

The Corvette does this, the Z does not.

Best option if you don't feel like fumbling with keys is to press the button on the door after you close it.

My old lady CX-7 2010 doesn't have auto lock and I don't think the 350Z did either.
