Is there a way to stop the car from unlocking after you shift into park?

Take out the doors. :P

I'm pretty sure you can. There is a series of things you can do to change the way the doors unlock (something like turn the car on, press window up, window down, yada yada) and it will switch the doors from locking when you move out of park to when you reach a certain speed and things like that. Let me see if I can find the actual method for you. I'm almost positive that it's possible.

It's documented on page 41 of the owners manual, but here are the steps for what you want to do:

1. Close all doors and put key in and turn to on position (do not start car).
2. Within 10 seconds of perorming step one, press and hold the door unlock button for approx. 5 seconds and release.

Door locks should lock and unlock to confirm the operation is complete.

Thanks, would it then be possible to turn it back on later? like in a couple of weeks or something

Yes, just look at the manual & you will see all that can be done.

Yup. Anything you do can be returned to the normal setting by repeating the same process for that particular function.
