Door lock program???

Noleman · 01-21-2006, 02:53 PM

Does anyone know if you can reprogram the door locking system in the 2006 Prius to automatically lock when the car begins to move. I am used to this from my old car therefore I always forget to lock my doors when diriving.

so what happens if you don't lock your doors when driving? I never locked it before and I never lock it now. Just curious

It is a safety measure to keep you and your passengers inside the car during an accident.

I see, what if there is an accident and someone needs to get into your car quickly and the door is locked?

I would also like to do this. They can break a window if it's a emergency. Also it helps reduce you chance of a car jacking or some homeless guy opening your door. And lets not forget the SUV driver you flip off for tailgating.

I am used to this also and would like it on my prius. Look at the link below, but I am not sure if it can be used in the 06 yet.

I drive after hours in bad areas of town, work related, would love to have it. The link says 2004-2005 no mention of 2006 though.

Well, I don't have a husky faced avatar, but I have posted in one or two threads that I have installed the door locking kit in my 2006 and it works fine.

The doors of my 2002 GTI locked automatically at 8 mph. I believe that all VWs do this, they also have rear disks, 16 inch wheels, side and curtain air bags, adjustable seats... but that's'another story.

I try to remember to lock the doors shortly after beginning to drive, but it would be nice if the car did it automatically.
