Not locking with auto-relock

dinkoh · 07-29-2007, 08:04 PM

My car used to lock itself after I leave the vehicle. Now, it doesn't. The only thing I can think of is the new tint job. But, I am not sure if that is the issue.

The appropriate option is checked on my i-drive.

Auto relock does NOT re-lock AFTER you LEAVE the car. It re-locks AFTER a pre-determined time (~30 seconds) after it gets UNLOCKED but NOT opened.

Read the Manual !!

Thanks dude. I did read it, but obviously not carefully enough.

While it does re-lock if you don't open your door, it doesn't re-activate my OEM alarm. Anyone else have this problem?

Whops !! I just re-checked and you are abslolutely right. When it re-locks it DOES NOT re-arm the alarm system !! Another SOFTWARE BUG !!!
