Hey, I got a good one for you. On any of your truck forum's does anyone know what the procedure is for dis-connecting the rolling door lock feature on these trucks? I have a friend that does NOT want the truck to lock the doors automatically.

I think there is a way to disable this feature ... ..?
thanx crossy

Yes you can change the settings with the i button on the steering wheel. You can also change other features like the auto lock features etc.

I'm not so sure you can.

My 2004 I believe I can change the settings.

My dad bought a 2006 Impala this year, with the DIC, and he can only change the unlock settings. They are factory programmed to lock when rolling.

Check the owners manual under "Programmable Automatic Door Locks" or similar, there is a procedure ot change how or when it locks and unlocks the doors. However you can only choose between having them lock when taken out of gear or lock with speed there isn't a way to disable it.

Here's the instructions for my 04 Avalanche. Don't know if it's the same for an 06 - worth a try nonetheless ey?

Programmable Automatic Door Locks - Programming Steps

All Chevrolet Avalanche models come equipped with Programmable Automatic Door Locks. From the factory your locks are programmed to lock all doors when you shift out of Park, and to unlock all doors when you shift into Park. They are also programmed out of the factory to lock the doors when you exceed approximately 15 MPH if the doors are unlocked (say if you did that manually). This is both a safety and a convenience feature.

You can reprogram the Automatic Door Locks to operate to your liking, or completely disable them. The locks can be programmed with four possible settings.

To program your locks read these instructions all the way through first and then follow them:

Put the key into the ignition but leave it OFF (don't turn the key). This is very important.

Bull the turn signal/multifunction lever towards you (as if you were turning on your high beams) and hold it. Do not release the lever. This is also very important.

While still holding the turn signal lever towards you turn the key to RUN (not START) and then back to OFF (not ACCESSORY) twice. When you return the key to the OFF position for the second time release the turn signal. The door locks should lock and unlock. If this does not happen you need to repeat steps one through three.

You now have 30 seconds to reprogram the door locks. You have four possible options

ALL DOORS LOCK/DRIVER'S DOOR UNLOCKS
On the driver's door press the Lock Button once and then the Unlock Button once.

ALL DOORS LOCK/ALL DOORS UNLOCK
On the driver's door press the Lock Button once and then the Unlock Button twice.

ALL DOORS LOCK/NO DOORS UNLOCK
On the driver's door press the Lock Button once and then the Unlock Button three times.

NO DOORS LOCK/NO DOORS UNLOCK
On the driver's door press the Lock Button twice.

If you want to cancel reprogramming the door locks during this time simply turn the key to RUN (not START) and the doors will lock and unlock again. This indicates the procedure has been cancelled and the original setting has been retained.

If you take longer than thirty seconds the doors will automatically lock and unlock, also indicating the procedure has been cancelled.

You can reprogram the locks as many times as you like

Thats how my 2006 GMC operates too......

Thanks jimbotronics!!!! It worked on my truck (2000 silverado)!

Cool info! Does anyone know if the 1999 Suburban has a similar feature? We bought the 'burb last fall and didn't get an owner's manual. The locks used to engage as soon as the key went to 'on', and disengage when going to 'off.' But since I removed the pos remote start system, the locks no longer automatically engage; I have to hit the button.
