yep my batts been off the car for a while,on reconection ,my toad ai606 decided to do a turn,now it opens and re-locks the doors,so you have to use the key for entry,and when you drive, it unlocks the doors?,before ,it had anti-hyjacking,now i feel vulnerable,please help.how do i reset these .thanks in advance.colin.
Weird, Toads normally leave the door locking alone when they are re-powered up, mine does anyway, all I can think is put the doors in the state you want locked/unlocked, disconnect the battery then reconnect it and see if that resets them to what you want?
Try disconnecting the battery but when reconnecting(after leaving 5 mins) make sure all the doors are shut and hold down/disconnect the bonnet switch, make sure also the interior light is not turned on.

I had a similar problem on my S1, and it was actually the central locking interface that was the problem. I could be going up the dual carriageway and it was locking and unlocking the doors randomly. Seemed to be worse in wet or damp weather.

mental,still doing it,press to unlock the doors,it does,but imediately locks them before you get a chance to get in.shoulda bought a frog,or a newt!
that sounds like one of the central locking solenoids bouncing to be fair, not an alarm fault,
if the alarm wasnt working it wouldnt lock and unlock the doors,
sounds like one of your cars locking solenoids is up the swanny.

What he ^^ said, usually one of the master linkages is sticky so one motor opens but the other doesn't the pulse times out and as the other lock is neither open or closed locks the doors again, lubricating the linkage will sort this problem.
