just purchased a CR-V ex-L. after turning off motor and closing all doors the doors lock within a few seconds, even before i can get around to the passenger side. How do i disable this passive door lock and make it active? It does have an after market security system installed by dealer in case this has some bearing.

Lemme get my crystal ball out and try to see what car it is this person is talking about.

Most likely the aftermarket alarm.

Do you know what brand/

Go back to the dealer and have them program it to active locking, with most alarms you can keep the passive arming and program active door locks, or just have the alarm programed for active arming. 94

it is a viper alarm. I could not make out the model. dealer wanted 400 keep this alarm. I refused the extra but they never disarmed or disabled the alarm. Can I do this myself?

Yes, find the alarm brain and get the model number off it, I can link you to the install guide, [programing guide].
