Default Doors lock when I start car.

Guys - when I start up my gs430, the doors automatically lock - does anyone know how I can disable this feature. I've got an aftermarket remote start alarm and when I remotely start the car, it's locking me out - I wouldn't mind the doors locking when I shift into reverse or drive, but having them lock on startup is a pain.
Thanks for any help

daleer,

Search for 'cbest' settings or c-best in this forum. These are the dealer-programmable options for your car.

I don't recall if the lock-at-start is one of them or not... I know my GS400 never did that but now that I've got a Viper alarm in my car the Viper alarm actually locks them once the car is started.
