The only time my 04 auto locks is if you unlock it with the remote, then don't open the door in a short period of time. I guess the assumption then is that you accidentially unlocked it, so it corrects that error.

My car remains unlocked in the garage all night without locking unless I hit the unlock button.

 

^^^ That's exactly what mine does.

 

same thing happened to me last night at the gas station. Luckily i had my wallet key on me. I think there's roadside assistance with the warranty and lock outs are included i think.

 

i've never had a problem w/the car locking me out w/the keys in the ignition.
i have noticed that the doors do lock if you unlock the car using the key fob.

i think the trick is if you have the keys in the ignition and your car is turned on to I or II.. it should be fine.. but if you just leave it in the ignition without turning it, it's probably not programmed to sense it.

just my .02

 

fob = Fresh Off the Boat

Actually, I was referring to the remote.

By any chance did you do the mod, so that you car automatically locks when you start the car? Last time I was at the dealer, the service manager left my door open a crack. I asked him why. He said that he discovered that cars that have the auto-lock mod, have a tendency to automatically lock the doors if the key is still in the ignition.

(I don't have that mod, and I've left my keys in the ignition all the time, when I wash the car... I've never locked myself out... *knocking on wood*)

 

Yeah I wasn't aware of the G35 to auto lock doors if left unlocked. I have a 06 and mine doesn't do that.

 

fob = key fob (i.e. the remote)

 

mine has been in my garage since december 1st. keys in no problems yet. i think i am going to go open the window a bit

 

no mods on mine,,,,o and the other day i found my car with all windows open,,,,must of pusshed the unlock button 3 times,,,, i got kinda scared when i seen that

 

I was sitting in mine with the key on accessory, talking on the phone, both doors closed and after about 3-5 min. it locked. I was suprised because it never does that when I'm driving. I just assumed it's some kind of safety thing. I've been meaning to check the manual but haven't had time. I always remove the keys and lock the door while getting gas. I might try leaving the key in while its in the garage and see what happens. (with the spare in my hand)

There has to be a concise explanation for all this. My doors have never locked by itself, no matter how I open it. When I get into my car in the mornings sometimes, it's unlocked since I didn't lock it the night before.
