Re: Disable Auto Lock Feature?
I have mine set to unlock at key-out, as I don't want it to unlock just because I put it in park. I may very well stop beside the road somewhere to check something, make a phone call or whatever, and if I'm in a questionable neighborhood, I don't want the doors unlocking just because I go to park. Although, that is an option on the Avalanche if you so desire.
Does someone with an '08 confirm that?

That's why I like my system the best, it locks when I push the door lock button & then stays locked until I push it again.
It never locks or unlocks by itself & that is just perfect IMHO........
As far as I'm concerned, anybody who doesn't have enough common sense to control their door locks manually probably shouldn't be driving at all......

Clif, first thought... this messed me up the first time I tried and it didn't work. When the instructions say Position 3 with the ignition key, do not start the car, just turn the key to run before engaging the starter. Is that how you're doing it?
I wager you are doing some step a little differently. Send me a private message with your email address and I'll send you my cell phone number. We'll sit in the cars simultaneously and walk thru the step and I bet you breakfast it will work.

wheeler says: Yippee! Glad it worked, Clif. Let's see, since you owe me breakfast, I like pancakes, I like bacon... actually we both owe breakfast to Walt. What do you like, Walt? Cheers from (appreciative) wheeler

It is in the owners manual (if equipped) with the same instructions. I did find a post on Escape Central of a guy making a circuit to activate this feature so it may not be in all vehicles.

Re: Disable Auto Lock Feature?
I would be surprised if the 05 didn't have it, my newer 06 FEH has every single option ever offered but my 05 was just the opposite. My 05 was a basic FEH with no options whatever & it still had that "feature" (I disabled it IMMEDIATELY after buying it)
