I cannot stand the doors locking when taking it out of park and unlocking when putting it in Park. Anyone know the process to disable all of this in a 2013 with NAV?

I believe I found this answer on this forum or in the owners manual. I couldn't find it in the 10 seconds I looked but I'd check the search function or dig through the book in your car
 
This is stated in the OM as a customizable feature that the dealer can turn on or off for you, unless you have Techstream access yourself.

A quick search on the forum yielded many results for this topic but one in particular that might be of use is below.

Door lock/unlock programming
 
Our 2013s are old school, changing the door locks requires a visit to a dealer or using TIS to change the setting. I changed mine to lock after moving and getting up to 12 mph and to only unlock the the doors from the inside when going into park.

The doors will open from the inside if the driver's door is opened within 10 seconds. If you are slow, the passengers get frustrated. They can't handle the concept of pushing the unlock button by their door handle. Kind of entertaining sometimes. You can push the unlock button if needed.

Are we getting too automated?

The auto door locks when putting into drive or park can be changed by you. The instructions are in the user manual and involves the shifter, the key and the door lock switch. Timing is everything. If it says within 5 seconds in means 5 seconds. If you want to invest in modifying other features that do need the dealer to do (like removing the ECO graph) you can invest in an ODB2 adapter and the Carista program. search here for carista for a list of what it can do
 
I just bought the truck yesterday and it did not come with the manual. Can anyone just give me the steps to disable this feature.
 
You can download the manuals.......use the search function.

You can use Carista or TIS. (I used TIS)

I don't think there is a way to do it without hooking something to the OBDII port, but I could be wrong.
 
Turning off ignition locks is agreat idea. The door lock motors seem to fail pretty easily and having that feature on increases the changes a lot.

Get Carista as others have said, you get a 30 day free trial to change settings.
