Hello,

I have a Valet 561R installed on a 2007 Ford Five Hundred. Everything works as it should, but I would like to turn the "Ignition Lock ON" feature to the "Off" setting. Basically, I do not want the doors to lock when I put the key in and turn to the "ON" position.

It always locks the doors regardless if I used the remote start or not.

I have found both the installation guide and the user manual which both talk about the feature, but give no instructions. Can this be changed with the FOB, or do you need access to the main unit under the dash.

Thanks for the help!!

Take another look at that installation manual and follow the instructions for turning off ignition controlled locking/unlocking. If you grab the installation manual from this site, take a look at the programming instructions that start on page 28 (operating settings learn routine).

depending on how old your unit is on the newer units it is steps 17 and 18 and the older ones its 13 and 14 but it is defently in the install manual but you would need to see the unit cause it done by looking at the l.e.d on the brain.  To do the steps it is like this ex. if it a new unit you would turn the key on then off press the valet button 18 times on the 18th press hold the button down the l.e.d will blink 17 times letting you know your in step 17 while hold the button down the valet button you would hit the aux button on the remote.  then press the valet button 2 more timeson the 2nd press  hold the button valet down  the l.e.d will blink 18 times to let you know that you are in step 18 then while holding the valet button  press the aux button again  on the remote and know ign locks are turned off.  hope this helps and dont sound confusing
