What do you mean by auto lock? When you drive it locks on its own? My Versa is the 08 SL fully loaded and that was not an available option on the car.

My Versa will lock the doors automatically when I reach 15mph. And unlocks when I take the key out of the ignition.

I have a 2009 S model.

Try this:1. get in and close all doors2. turn the ignition switch to the on position3. within 20 seconds of step 2:- for auto lock at 15mph, hold the lock button on the window switch for 5 or more seconds- for auto unlock when ignition is turned off, hold the unlock button for 5 or more seconds

When either setting is activated, the hazard lights will flash twice. When deactivated, they will only flash once.

The ignition switch needs to be turned off and then back to ON between changing either setting.

This can be set by us?

Really?I know my brother's Sentra does this automatically. He bought the car this past September and it's an 09. I'll give this a try tomorrow with my 08 V.

Thanks for the info!

I tried to do the auto lock set up today, doesn't work. Must only be a feature on 09+ models.

I do have the same thing as you though. If I unlock my doors and don't get into the car she will lock on her own

This has been discussed before, it's only possible in the 09+ models. I have an 08 and went to the dealership, it's not possible.

I'm not upset with any of you. We're free to post anything Versa related we'd like. I'm just annoyed that Nissan would change the BCM after one year to prevent us 07-08's from not having it. Maybe with a remote start, their could be a workaround?

Thanks for the reply.

Ya I would have liked this feature too.

In regards to the remote start. I asked my dealership if they would install one for me and the answer was 'no'. I then asked if I had one installed elsewhere if it could void parts of my warranty and they said 'yes'. They said they do not think having a remote start is a good idea ...

Is there any way to turn off the auto-lock feature? I just bought a 2010 Versa and the autolock has been kind of a pain. I carpool with someone and the car locks as I drive to pick them up, and have to turn off the car before it will let me unlock the doors to let my carpooler in and then have to re-start the car. There has to be an easier way!

You should only need to push the unlock button twice with the car running to unlock all the doors. It shouldn't be necessary to turn the car off.

I have a 2010 SL, it has the auto-lock feature, at first I kept thinking I hit a stone(the loud pop sound of the lock ingaging)then realized what it was doing, nice feature to have, and as was stated, no need to turn the car off to unlock, just hit the unlock button on the arm rest.

When I test drove the 2010 SL I was trying to get (I got to spend dealers gas by taking the Versa the 60mile round trip to my house to get my papers and stuff), I pulled out on the road its one (Nothing else is on the road) and I stopped and looked because I thought somehow a rock hit me! Then i noticed the door was locked lol. I like the auto lock feature. Its pretty neat that you can deactivate it too.
