Hey all,

I'm new to the forum and am looking for some help. I did a search here and on other sites and can't seem to find the answer to this.

I just bought a 2006 V70 2.4i manual. I got a smokin' deal and I love the car (although at this point I'd prefer the R, that might come later). I've also got a 2006 S40 which I love (that lead to me buying the V70).

Anyway, the auto lock feature is driving me crazy. In my S40 I can disable it thru the controls on the center stack radio interface. However I can't seem to find it on the V70. When I get out of the car I tend to drop my keys in my pocket. Then I try and open the back door to get my son out of the car and I have to fumble and find the correct key fob to unlock the doors again. It's a PITA especially since my wife and I swap cars back and forth and I can't get used to one car working one way and the other doing the opposite.

I read about dealer updates or something that can fix it. Is that seriously the only way? I've seen costs from $30 to $150 just to disable the damn thing. Seriously? Really? I called the guy at the dealer and he told me to call Volvo's 800 number. They were clueless.

Can anyone lead me in the right direction on this?
Thanks
Jason
