put in new alarm siren, it works & yes it chirps!! does anybody know how to turn off auto lock??? unlock doors & it will lock & arm itself within 1 min if I just leave it... can this function b turned off or reprogramed??

 

"if" it can be done.. $100 bucks worth of "happy now" in it for you.. that's pretty much what the dealer will charge to hook up the DRBIII and modify the setting. Most people open the door when unlocked and it's not an issue.

 

so unlock open door then shut door & this will prevent auto locking & arming??

 

from the owners manual :

Automatic Central Locking
The central locking switch also operates the automatic
central locking feature. With the automatic central locking
feature activated, the doors and rear liftgate/decklid
are locked at vehicle speeds of approximately 9 mph (15
km/h) or more; however, the fuel filler door remains
unlocked.
To activate this feature, turn the key to the ON/RUN
position and hold the upper portion of the switch for a
minimum of five seconds. To deactivate, turn the key to
the ON/RUN position and hold the lower portion of the
switch for a minimum of five seconds.
NOTE: If the doors are unlocked with the central
locking switch after activating the automatic central
locking feature and neither door is opened, the doors
remain unlocked even at vehicle speeds of approximately
9 mph (15 km/h) or more.

 

You are correct!

George.. unlock your car and stand there for 1 minute .. don't open the door.. it will "automatically" lock again. Nothing to do with speed.. flip this hold that..

 

That is not what he asked if I understand the post correctly.

 

I agree, but that's all there is that can be done without a DRBIII, and I'm not even sure there is a setting for turning off the 'relock' feature.

 

To Unlock the Doors: Press and release the unlock button on the key fob.
NOTE: If within 40 seconds of unlocking with the key fob, neither door is opened, the key is not inserted in the ignition switch, or the central locking switch is not activated, the vehicle will automatically lock.
Press the Unlock transmit button on the key fob once to unlock driver’s door, rear liftgate, and fuel filler door. Press the Unlock transmit button twice to unlock both doors, rear liftgate, and fuel filler door.

 

Pressing the unlock button once as you state above does not open the lift gate, twice does open it.
The fob can also be programmed to open all with just one push of the open button.
This is not recommended for security reasons though.

The way your post should have read, as you cannot open something that is already open.
[I]Press the Unlock transmit button on the key fob once to unlock driver’s door and fuel filler door.
Press the Unlock transmit button twice to unlock passenger door and lift gate[I]

I do not know when the center console in a roadster opens though, maybe when the lift gate opens. (?)

 

You all right and geniuses I love the site but Mr. Miata Hit it on head, save some money just open the damn door thank you my friends

 

I'm downloading an Italian translator now so I can inform Chrysler the manual is wrong.. Per 180 ..

 

We all read the Owners manual, not necessarily at once but over time, it is amazing what is in there.
