Glad to hear they finally did something about that. There is no such
command on my '00 TL Nav.

Nope, it does. Get in the car start it. Shut it off and remove the key.
Get out and shut the door without locking it. Watch for 30 seconds.

This is normal behavior. I've had an Acura RSX and an '04 Accord and they
both do this IF: You shut off the engine, remove the key, get out and shut
the door...it will lock automatically after 30 seconds or so. I found this
out the hard way with my RSX when I left the keys on the passenger seat and
got out to check something...fortunately, I was in my driveway

No way I drive a 2004 accord and the car Will Not lock it self as you
describe.
but it will relock it self within 30sec or so if you use your remote to
unlock it and don't open the door within 30 sec. or so.

Yes, my 04 doesn't do this. If I don't lock it, it stays that way.....
