Just something I have been wondering with this car. My old car did it....

Did you mean lock? On my 2013 500 Sport you can change the setting in the speedo. Car doors auto-lock at about 15mph. You must have something similar.

Yes, but I think the default is OFF. Go into the computer menu and look for the term AUTO CLOSE and make sure it is ON then they will auto lock once a certain speed has been attained.

I'm in the USA (California), and my Trekking does not appear to have this feature. I followed the steps in the manual, and no such option appeared in the EVIC menu.

Another thing I don't have: Speed-controlled audio (where the volume changes depending on the vehicle speed). The manual shows the control for this feature in the Audio submenu of the Uconnect 6.5. There is no such button in my Audio submenu.

[Edit: I have the Uconnect 6.5 with Beats, just to be clear. The dealer had some cars with 6.5 but no Beats...wonder if that is the difference, since the Beats models seem to be earlier builds?]

That option is not available in my Uconnect. The manual has a screenshot of the Uconnect menu showing that button, but when I go to that same screen in Uconnect, there is no button.

Does your car have Beats/Sirius XM? Because I think cars that are so equipped are running a slightly different version of Uconnect that does not offer certain settings (that's my theory, anyway). As BiBi confirmed, we also don't have the setting for speed-controlled volume in Uconnect.

Yep, I also have the Beats/uconnect 6.5 and of coarse the doors have auto lock/unlock with auto windows up/down (keyfob controled) Mine is the Trekking model - no sunroof manual trans

This is interesting. Both you and Midnightsun have Trekking with Uconnect 6.5 & Beats -- like me [edit -- just realized that Midnightsun has a Lounge].

Here is what my manual says about the automatic door locking (called "Autoclose"):

Autoclose


With this function active, the doors will automatically lock at when the vehicle's speed exceeds 12 mph (20 km/h).


To change the setting proceed as follows:


1. Briefly press the MENU button “On” or “Off” will flash on the display (according to the previous setting).


2. Press the UP or DOWN button for setting.


3. Briefly press the MENU button to go back to the menu screen, or press and hold the MENU button (approximately one second) to go back to the main screen without storing the settings.
Naturally, hitting the MENU button quickly just pulls up the regular EVIC menu ("First Page", etc.) -- nothing about Autoclose in there.

For good measure, I looked at every setting option in Uconnect, and did not find Autoclose in there either.
