I want to know too; it's a real PAIN having to use the ket to LOCK the
door, and wears the lock out twice as fast.

Mind, once (eventually) I've fitted the Electric-Life remore central
locking sysstem this will cease to be a problem for me....

But Japanese cars (and other watercooled VWs I've owned) all don't need the
key for locking! Why Vanagons?
