Is there a way to disable the automatic door locks, and also is there a way I can lock/unlock the doors the drivers door switch with out the key turned on? I have no idea if thats even possible but it would be very convenient.

You'll need to research (use the site's search not google) some but I believe there are opportunities to modify the door lock operations. Now for certain the locks should work without a key in ignition, it's kind of standard unlike door windows.

This has worked for my 2000 SR5. Here's another thread: Turn Off Auto-lock Feature
Automatic Door Locking / Unlocking Function:
The factory setting for the automatic door locking and unlocking function is on.
1: Sit in the drivers seat with the drivers door open.
2: Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to on (not acc) 5 times (on-lock, on-lock, on-lock, on-lock, on) within a 10 second period. The status monitors LED turns on, and the piezo chirper sounds once.
***You must perform the next steps within 30 seconds***
Select the operating mode:
Automatic door locking and unlocking on: Close the drivers door. Turn the ignition switch to the lock position. The piezo chirper sounds once, and the exterior lights flash once.
Automatic door locking and unlocking off: Close the drivers door once, then open and close it one more time. Turn the ignition switch to the lock position. The piezo chirper sounds twice, and the exterior lights flash twice.
If you do not turn the ignition key to lock, or exceed 30 seconds during the programming steps, the status monitor's LED will turn off and the previous operation mode will remain.
And, yes, the locking control on the driver's door should work without the key.

Thank you both for the valuable input, the wizard formula that Riceye suggested worked perfect so now I just have to figure out why my door lock switch don’t work unless the key is in the ignition.
