Door Locks
Door Locks
Forgive me if this has been covered. I searched the site and searched the manual and couldn't find an answer.
Does anyone know why our cars do not have auto-locking doors; i.e. you reach 15mph and they automatically lock? My BMW had them, my wife's Jeep has them. I just realized the other day that my doors were not locking.

I don't know why it doesn't have them, but it's a matter of preference. Some people like them, some hate it, some people think it's a security plus and others think it's a con.
Regardless, you can probably DIY using one of the kptechnologies modules. I don't think he has tested it on the 07+ Gs though, but it should be easy enough to implement. It basically ties to VSS and the locks and sends the signal to lock the doors when the vehicle starts moving at a certain speed.
I have that in my Benz and it never actually bothered me, and I think it's actually a good thing. On the other hand, that's a more integrated setup... the doors unlock after you open the driver side door, and in the event of a collision or rollover it will automatically unlock all the doors. With some aftermarket hookup thing, it might not be that good of a plan...

I hate that my G doesn't have auto lock doors. I have a lot of settings I can turn on and off, but this is the one I really want. My concern is not when I'm driving because after a year, it's a habit to lock the doors. I don't like my girlfriend driving my car and not knowing if she's in a questionable part of town sitting at a red light with open doors.
