Ok this has been driving me nuts, wife has a new Jetta 2006, whose doors do
not unlock when the car is put into park. You have to actually hit the
unlock button manually on the door or on the key to unlock the doors after
parking the car. As we have a 2 year old (in the back seat) this gets old
real quick. Every car I've owned in the last 10 years that had power locks
auto unlocked upon parking (or opening drivers door). What is the deal? Is
it a computer coding thing? Anyway to reprogram the car to auto unlock the
doors?

Thanks

It also prevents the escape artist kid from escaping from the car. You
press the buttons that prevent the kid from opening the door himself
or opening the windows.

You can buy a vagcom and program the keys or doors to do other
functions. vwvortex.com probably has someone with that answer on how
to make your family less secure. I have riden in or driven newer Ford,
Dodge, Toyota, GM, Volvo and Mercedes cars and none of them have
unlocked when parking. At least I never noticed, I am sure I would
have heard the locks pop up if they did. Well maybe not the Mercedes
but I would on the other cars and trucks.
