    Hello and welcome Lewis

    locked your car keys in 4 times in 6 months!:jawdrop: You really need to get in to a habit of taking the keys with you every single time you leave the car. Out of 40 years of motoring I have never locked my self out of my car.

    Is your car auto open and auto lock?

    The auto lock feature can be set to lock at any vehicle speed, I've mine set to 10kmh 

    I've not heard of it automatically locking in any other way unless you were to press "unlock" on the key fob and not open any doors; it then "auto locks" because it assumes you pressed fob by mistake. 

    You can switch off auto locking yourself using a modified elm327 cable and some home brew software on a Windows based laptop.
