You must have some sort of passive alarm with anti car-jack feature installed on your car. They don't lock themselves like that from the factory.

 

usually its programmed into the BCU(body control unit) and you can access the features with a scan-tool. so just take it to the dealer and they should be able to program it so theres no auto locks

 

i tired the phoen thing on my frends bmw ( the remote was still working on my car in the kitchen so we couldnt try it on the evo) and surprisngly it worked.

so yes, it does work... it takes a couple tries liek 3 or 4 clicks of the button but it worked

 

Try using the keyless entry when the car is running, it doesn't work. When my friend brought my keys he tried using the keyless entry to unlock the doors and it didnt work.

And what i think happened is that they locked right after I opened the door. Then I started the car and got out without realising what had happened.

 

No offense, but I wont believe it til I see it myself. There are just too many technical reasons why it shouldn't work. Who knows, maybe someday I'll be locked out and forced to try it...

 

I asked the dealer and they said that they couldn't do that.

 

Perhaps the sensor for the driver door used to determine whether it is open or not is not working or did not work in that instance? (Too cold)

If this happened the car may have thought you had not opened a door and then locked again after the 30 secs.

 

thats def what happened I did it to my self once or twice.. the car doesnt auto-lock with the car on I pressed the lock button instead of the window button once and it shut the door then realized after..
