Default Auto-lock feature for doors

I have owned an early 99 HardTop since new. I really would like the auto-lock feature, but this car never had it listed among the options when I scroll the d.i.c., so just assumed that because it was an early
car, I was stuck without it.

Is it possible that it is really in there, and the dealer can re-program
the BCM to allow this feature to work?

I have it on my 98....unless it has something to do with the memory package, I would have thought all C5's had it.....

It comes up as I scroll through the OPTIONS menu on the DIC.

Are you looking to have ignition locks , or do you want your doors to lock if you don't arm your alarm ? For the latter , make sure your fob is set to passive on . If that doesn't work as someone stated in another thread try cleaning your switch on the fob .

Auto locks only came on 97-98 cars. The other years 99-04 are totally different animals.
