My wife's MDX is our new-ish car for road trips and such. I wanted something with no car payment I could use just around town.

Aside from the low MPGs they make great, comfortable (and safe) utility vehicles.

Default Automatic door locking and unlocking functions

I found this on the RX400H thread, and it does work on my 2003 GX470. Instructions appear simple enough, but exact timing is the key to getting this to work.
Thank you to mowmow for posting the original....

Automatic door locking and unlocking functions

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING
You can select the following functions:
- Locking linked with the shift position
All doors are automatically locked when the selector lever
is moved out of “P” position.

- Locking linked with vehicle speed
All doors are automatically locked when the vehicle speed
goes above about 20 km/h (12 mph).

You can set or cancel the automatic door locking
functions:

Be sure to apply the parking brake when performing the following operations.

To select the locking linked with the shift position:
1. Close all doors and turn the ignition switch to the “ON”
position.
2. Shift the selector lever to the “P” position.
3. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the “ON”

How do we make ALL doors unlock with ONE press of the unlock button on the remote?

This is driving me nuts!

Here's a no-charge pro tip - the GX absolutely dominates wintertime snow.

Locked the center diff and put it into 4Lo today with new Michelin MTX S2 Defender tires... snow be damned, we were motoring.

(Truth be told, everyone with AWD / 4WD was happily motoring around town before the plows made their presence known... but, let's not snow on the GX's parade.)

Unfortunately that has to be done at a dealer. Requires their programming tool. But at least there is a setting for it, even if it costs us $100 for dealer to change it lol.
