want the doors to lock when I walk away...

I've done some searches here, and I'm guessing there is no way to do this either stock or aftermarket. But...

I have a 2009 G37x coupe with all packages. I'd like the doors to lock behind me automatically when I exit the car (turned off) and walk away. Impossible?

You could probably try contacting KP Technologies, they do such work I believe

YES that would be awesome

and i also don't want it to unlock itself because the key in my pocket accidentally gets pressed because i do a squat inside my house!!!

i triggered the alarm the other day and i was like WTF nobody is there and then realized i was laying on my key.

LOL I always end up pressing the panic key on accident. I usually have my keys in my pocket and bump it up against something when im working on the car--scares the crap out of me

the car can already detect when the key is no longer available....so basically what needs to be done is send a signal to the locking solenoid to lock the car at that event. im sure KP can work on something like that....depends if they can sell enough to make it worth their time. I think manufactures dont include it because its a safety issue.....incase people get locked and trapped in the car.

my jag doesnt auto lock but will automatically set the alarm, so the alarm will go off if someone opens the door

I certainly wouldn’t want that feature for my car. I park it in the safety of my garage at night and just get in each morning. Having to unlock it would be an unnecessary extra step. Besides, while in a public place locking it with the fob or door button is a quick reminder that I have the fob in my possession. And there are other situations to consider like leaving the car for service. The mechanic would be easily annoyed if he had to find the fob and unlock it multiple times.

haha

for one the buttons on the key should be more recessed so they can't be pressed on accident. seeing as a lot of people like myself have hit the panic on accident, its obvious the button isn't leveled correctly.

I've done it twice.. each time I'm like "freaking fracking eirhaierhaeoirhoaehr"

I would like my car to grow jet engines and fly to a time era of my choosing...can we figure out a way for that to work too?

what about the last item in this list though?

There was a thread at one time that listed a bunch of different customizable options you could change. This covered things such as how long your headlights would stay on after you turned off the car. I can't find the thread however but I will keep looking.

-edit- I found this one.
Keyfob Programming Options


Here is what it lists:

Door Lock/Unlock (with single click on keyfob)
Mode 1: Unlock left front door only
Mode 2: Unlock all doors

Anti-lock Out (prevents locking keys in car)
Mode 1: Master door lock switch can activate door locks w/ key in ignition
Mode 2: Master door lock switch cannot activate door locks w/ key in ignition

Dome Lamp Timer
Mode 1: Interior lamp comes on when left front door is unlocked
Mode 2: Interior lamp does not come on when left front door is unlocked

Retained Power (Amount of time windows and sunroof will operate after turning off ignition)
Mode 1: 45 seconds
Mode 2: No delay (Will not operate after ignition key is turned off)
Mode 3: 2 minutes

Auto Light On (headlights turn on as it gets dark)
Mode 1: Factory setting
Mode 2: Lights come on sooner than factory setting
Mode 3: Lights come on later than factor setting
Mode 4: Lights come on later than Mode 3

Head Lamp Battery Saver (applies when headlights left in “on” position, not in “auto.”
Mode 1: Shuts lamps off after 5 minutes
Mode 2: No time delay (headlights turn off immediately)

Headlamp Illumination delay (time headlights remain on after exiting car when headlight is in the “auto” position)
Mode 1: 45 seconds
Mode 2: No Delay (lights turn off immediately)
Mode 3: 30 Seconds
Mode 4: 1 minute
Mode 5: 1 ½ minutes
Mode 6: 2 minutes
Mode 7: 2 ½ minutes
Mode 8: 3 minutes

Hazard and Horn Reminder Mode (key fob allows you to choose between modes 1 & 2, but there are 4 others)
Mode 1 (C Mode): Lock = 2 flash, 1 horn /// Unlock = 1 flash, 0 horn
Mode 2 (S Mode): Lock = 2 flash, 0 horn /// Unlock = 0 flash, 0 horn
Mode 3: Lock = 0 flash, 0 horn /// Unlock = 0 flash, 0 horn
Mode 4: Lock = 2 flash, 0 horn /// Unlock = 1 flash, 0 horn
Mode 5: Lock = 2 flash, 1 horn /// Unlock = 0 flash, 0 horn
Mode 6: Lock = 0 flash, 1 horn /// Unlock = 1 flash, 0 horn

Remote Auto Locking Function Mode (Doors automatically lock after exiting car)
Mode 1: 5 minute delay
Mode 2: Function disabled
Mode 3: 1 minute delay
