This might sound like a trivial thing, but I really wish the doors on my 2012 Navigator would unlock when I put the car into park. The factory options on the car are to unlock when the ignition is turned off & the drivers door is opened. I live in South Dakota where the temperature in the winter often gets down to -20. When it's that cold, I am not going to shut my car off until I am parked in my garage. I cannot tell you how many times I have gotten out of the drivers seat, gone to the back to the liftgate to open it & it's still locked. This infuriates me to no end. The Navigator is my wifes daily driver. My daily driver is a Chevy Silverado. My Silverado doors unlock immediately when you shift into park regardless of whether the engine is running or not. I love this!! I would really like my Navigator to do the same thing. It is not a programming option. Has anyone come up with a fix for this? I am very tempted to install some switches on the shift lever to make the doors unlock. Can anyone give me any ideas of how a guy could fix this? Thank you in advance for any advice!!

 

Have you tried talking with the service department at the dealer to see if they're able to program the modification?

 

That's the reason I shut that feature off right away when I bought it.
