For those that don't know what I'm talking about, 2009 and up Xterra automatically lock the doors when you go over 15mph (which I don't mind) but they don't automatically unlock until you remove the key from the ignition (which drives me nuts). I wouldn't mind if it unlocked when I put it in park, but it aggravates the crap out of me to have to unlock the car manually or remove the key to let passengers out. My 08 did not have this feature, so I'm used to it being a certain way. After sifting through a FSM, I found the solution.
