congrats on the jeep dude, and yeah, that would bug the chit out of me too.
most cars unlock when you put back in park if they lock automatically in drive, but i'm not too familiar with the wk's.

i would go find another 08 on a lot and see if you can take it for a test drive to see if it does the same thing.
Not being a dick just simply asked why the solution isn't to just remember to hit the unlock button? It would definitely take some wiring at the very least and knowledge of your vehicle to figure out how to get it to unlock itself when you stop. Not that it can't be done but why go to the trouble?

That's the thing. You can cycle through the personal settings, that's how I changed how it will honk and there will be a lit approach. There were a couple that were so short and abbreviated I just didn't know what they meant. I guess I will just have to mess around with it so I don't have to deal with these guys. Thanks for being nice!

Just did some research. It's not possible through the personal setting on the EVIC.
