Hey everyone,

I have had fords and my brother has a volvo. I just got my p5 and i have to say im pretty pissed off about having to unlock the doors to get out.

At least with the front doors the doors should become unlocked as you open the door.

Anyone know a mod for this?

Mitch

Hey your'e Cool

Just a question! no need to flame!

Its not a feature it's a security issue and something I was wondering if anyone knew a way to change it.

But thanks both of you for your great insight, ive learned so much posting here!

Just wondering why you see this as a security issue? Are you worried about being in an accident and someone not being able to pull you out?

I know Fords do it and it is both annoying and a feature.

I agree, after you get used to cars unlocking just by pulling on the handle, this feature sucks. But yes, there are alarms that will do it. Likewise you could make something to unlock them when the ignition goes off, but tying it to the handle would be more trouble than it is worth. But, I'm with you, I wish they didn't work the way they do.

nothing like a kid accidentally flipping the door handle while it is supposed to be "locked"

I had a 88 Mercury Sable Wagon, that allowed me to exit when the doors were locked, on both passenger and driver side.

Mercury is Ford... My fathers 03 Taurus and King Ranch F150 dont stay locked on exiting

Or a bad guy going to jail...

It's funny, all you have to do is flick the little child lock switch and the jerk is stuck back there.

Well, as long as the cage is there that is.

thanks!

I had to pop the locks on a bosses' F150... she locked her keys in the truck only had enough room to hook the door handle b/c the lock pin was a PITA on that model.

It IS a nice feature... maybe you could get a wrecked door off a model that had this feature and see how it works. Then see if you can modify it to your P5? If not... actuators when the car is in park. However, it would not help those with MTX.

BTW, my current boss has an escape. I was car pooling with her and she has auto lock on her MTX ?? The rear doors do not open without you unlocking the door. However, the fronts do?
