It re-locks itself and you cannot prevent it from doing so!
Turning autolock off has no effect on this problem.
The Honda dealership agrees with me and said that some dimwitted software designer in Japan decided to re-lock my doors whether I want them re-locked or not (their words not mine). This issue comes up often enough on my working truck that I would never buy another one unless the issue is resolved.
Again: Does anyone know how to hack the system to prevent the problem or otherwise overcome the problem.

I don't get it... sorry. Why is this a problem? I like the feature.

Or more to the point.... in what situation do you find this is a problem for you?

I'm listening...
