2019 Toyota 86 Door Issues
 

Any idea why the doors don’t lock automatically when shifting into gear?

So you can jump out when the baddies are chasing you!


I believe it's dealer programmable that way.

So just drop in dealership?

Actually you can programme the fob, just sit in your car, press the left and then right button, wait for the high pitched whistle then rub your tummy.. don't rub anything under your belt as this will upset the software..

Call and verify they can do it first.

Because it's not an american car.

Auto locking doors in drive is just a thing with american cars.

Not true..our 2018 Mazda CX5 has it. But unless they have added it to the 86, I don't think our cars have it.

Why doesn’t the radio work correctly? Why don’t the seats stay forward? Why is there no center console?

Add it to the list. They just don’t lock when you drive off. Nearly every other car does these days, across every brand.

That’s what makes it a “real sports car”





:lol:

The manual snobs missed a great opportunity: They don't lock so that you can jump out and get a proper transmission.

Thanks for saying it...

some of us are defective. i've got a twitchy left leg that needs to be doing something.

Sure the doors can lock automatically but I like the feel of manually locking them. I have more control of the car and I pay much more attention to what is happening around me when I have to manually push the lock button. This all makes me a much better driver than those auto lock fools! It is sad that young people today don't know how to manually lock their cars and it won't be long until they all automatically lock and the skill will be lost forever.

Tcoat in control, back in the day - :thumbsup:

Yep. I want to control when the doors lock not let the car decide when it should do it!

I have NEVER wanted to be locked in, to ANY car, thanks.

Thanks guys.

Sounds like a driver missing his stick ...

just get carista on your phone and a obd2 reader, pretty sure it is a setting you can adjust yourself but ya probably have to pay carista's fee

It's not a setting I've ever heard of, and not listed on Carista's site.

Plenty of links out there to ODB II pucks as well as a thorough Arduino write up.

The information is all on CAN, you need something to connect the dots.

I was able to adjust the speed at which my old Audi A4 locked its own doors. I used a program called VagCom and a cheap $20 USB - OBD2 cable.

I believe the software for Toyota that you want to use is called “Techstream” but I don’t know much about it. I’d start your search with that.

Yes many things are configurable in techstream, but it's not a magic programmer to change everything. it allows for the configuration of options that are set to be configurable in the software.

Things I've changed on my car with a scan tool (the same options would be available in techstream):

Set auto headlights to turn on sooner as light fades.
Set auto headlights to turn off the instant the door pops open.
Set the dome light timer from 15 to 30 seconds.
Set the volume of the remote lock/unlock beep to maximum.

There was more, but there was no setting for auto lock doors.

Yes some imports do it, but it's mostly not as much of a thing as with American cars.

I have, mostly when in bumper to bumper traffic through seedier parts of cities. One time on route 1 in new haven connecticut it looked like some awful b movie, complete with a dude swinging a chain on the street corner.
