Automatically Lock/Unlock Doors?

Does anybody know if there is a way to get the doors to lock automatically when you start driving and unlock when you turn the car off on an 03 Max? I've had some other cars that do this and I was wondering if there was some hidden setting for it.

My moms camry does that and it annoys the heck outta me, and her, and everyone who drives the car. Personal preference I guess, but make sure you get an option to disable that feature if you get an aftermarket alarm or whatever, it may begin to bother you

I thiunk all Viper alarms do that. My durango would lock at 15mph. Pretty cool. Now it locks when you start it and unlocks when you take out the key.

Do you have a problem with falling out of the car??

My Viper alarm did that and I loved it. I never got sick of it. A lot of cars do it from the factory now, I am surprised the Maxima doesn't...

My 1993 Chevy Lumina locked the doors as soon as I shifted out of park. I found it bothersome if I was going somewhere relatively nearby. I prefer how the maxima lets you decide if you want it locked

I have the 2001 SE AE and a after market add-on alarm from dealer using the same remote control and the doors close when I start the car and open when I turn the car off, I've have the alarm since I got the car about 3 years and not problems.

My F-150 did this...but you could unlock the door by pulling up on the inside door handle...the 2002 max will not, which is annoying. As much as I would like the auto lock feature, without the auto-unlock when lifting the handle this would get annoying quick.
