how do I turn auto-lock back on?

Best of all would be if carmakers would set up their ECU's with lots of electronic options that you could jack into with any laptop or PDA/smartphone and set on your own- without proprietary software. Or with proprietary, but free software.

I had a third party VAG tool for my previous Audi that would let you plug into the OBDII port and allow you to change settings (I could set the car to autolock at 5 mph, allow car to unlock all doors or just the driver door, allow all windows to come up or down by holding down the lock or unlock button), so it was quite useful.

Unfortunately, nothing like that for the Mazda. I don't know if it's because no third party vendors have bothered to make something like that, or if the ECU just doesn't contain the software to change all that stuff in the first place. Ah well...
 
One thing with all the stupid auto locking if i ever get out of my car with the key still in I roll down my drivers window incase i have to reach in to unlock it.
My moms trailblazer had options where you could change if u click unlock once if it just does the drivers door or all the doors, if the interior lights or headlights come on when you hit the button or if the horn sounds for lock and unlock (one and two beeps) I cant stand when cars honk when you hit the remote. I only hit mine once and watch the lights blink. It would be cool if there were more options for the speed sence lock or my favorite is once you turn the key it auto locks (99 camry).
 
Only the '10s have speed-sensitive locking. Wish mine had it.

I can't stand it. If I want my doors locked then I will do it myself!!!(pissed)

Honestly if a car I liked had that feature and it couldn't be turned off, then I would buy a different car.
