These are universal instructions, not sure if you have seen them or not
AUTO LOCK/UNLOCK MODULE
INSTALLATION MANUAL
(Universal)
ALTHOUGH THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY TESTED KPIERSON
TECHNOLOGIES ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT
MAY RESULT BY THE INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT. INSTALL AND
USE THIS PRODUCT AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE
TERMS DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THIS PRODUCT.
THIS PRODUCT IS DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
ONLY. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN IRREVERSABLE
DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE. IT IS THE INSTALLERS RESPONSIBILITY TO
VERIFY ALL WIRES PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.
INSTALLATION:
1. Unplug harness from module and set module aside
2. Determine vehicle door lock type
3. Locate and make necessary electrical connections
4. Plug module back in
5. Secure module in a safe place that will not interfere with driving or other moving
parts
6. Test Module
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: (Please consult Wire Guide for detailed wire info)
Due to the harsh environment found in vehicles, KP Technologies recommends always
soldering and securely taping EVERY connection.
1. GREEN – DOOR UNLOCK
a. This wire outputs a 200mA (-) low current signal to unlock the doors.
Depending on the vehicle it may be necessary to use a relay
NOTE: On vehicles with priority door unlocking it may be necessary to use
two relays to unlock all doors.
2. BLUE – DOOR LOCK OUTPUT
a. This wire outputs a 200mA (-) low current signal to lock the doors.
Depending on the vehicle it may be necessary to use a relay
3. ORANGE – DOOR PIN INPUT
a. Connect this wire to the drivers door (-) door pin. This signal is used to
prevent the doors from auto locking in Timing Mode if a ground signal is
present when the ignition is turned on.
NOTE: Some vehicles may not have isolated door pins. In this case, a common door
pin signal can be used, but if ANY door is open when the ignition is turned on the
doors will not auto lock in Timing Mode. The door pin input is only used in timing
mode as Instant Trigger mode will lock the doors regardless of the status of the door
pin. This connection is optional and the module will still operate if the orange wire is
left unconnected, although the doors will lock even if they are open.
4. BLACK – GROUND
a. Connect this wire to ground.
5. YELLOW – 12VDC Trigger
a. The trigger wire can be configured for two different modes:
NOTE: Although this input is intended to be used with a 12vdc signal it will
detect any voltage between 0.7vdc and 30vdc
i. Timing Mode:
1. When Timing mode is desired hook the yellow wire up to
an ignition signal that reads 12VDC when the ignition is in
the ‘ON’ position and has no voltage when the vehicle is in
the ‘OFF’ position.
ii. Instant Trigger Mode:
1. When Instant Trigger mode is desired hook this wire up to
any desired 12vdc trigger. When programmed to Instant
Trigger the doors will lock instantly upon detecting 12vdc
on this trigger wire. The doors will remain locked until
power is removed from the input. (For example –
KPtechnologies RPM switch for RPM controlled door
locking)
6. RED (LONG) – 12VDC CONSTANT
a. Connect this wire to a fused constant 12 volt source
7. RED (SHORT)– PROGRAMMING INPUT
a. Connect this wire to 12VDC for Instant Trigger Mode
b. Leave this wire unconnected for Timing Mode
CONFIGURATION:
1. TIMING MODE: When Timing Mode is selected the module will monitor
the 12VDC Trigger Input. When a Trigger Input signal is detected the module
will continue to monitor the Trigger Input for six seconds as well as monitor
the Door Pin Input. If the Trigger Input is present for six continuous seconds
and the Door Pin Input is never grounded then the module will output a 0.8
second (-) pulse on the Door Lock Output. If at any time during the Timing
period the module detects that the door is open then Door Locking will be
skipped for this Trigger Input. The module will then continue to monitor the
Trigger Input for the duration of the signal. As soon as the signal is removed
then the module will output a 0.8 second (-) pulse on the Door Unlock Output.
The module will then begin looking for another Trigger Input.
2. INSTANT TRIGGER MODE: If configured for Trigger Mode the module
will output a 0.8 second (-) pulse on the Door Lock Output immediately upon
detecting 12vdc on the Trigger Input wire. The Door Pin Input is not
monitored at all and does not need to be connected when using Instant Trigger
Mode. As soon as the Trigger Input voltage is removed the module will
output a 0.8 second (-) pulse on the Door Unlock Output. This mode is
intended to be used with either a KPtechnologies latching RPM switch or
custom designed end user supplied relay logic.
TESTING:
1. Plug Harness in to module
2. TIMING MODE: With all doors closed (if door pin is hooked up) turn the
ignition on. Approximately six seconds later the doors should lock. Wait ten
seconds and shut the ignition off and all doors should unlock.
3. INSTANT TRIGGER MODE: Start vehicle and complete the steps necessary
to supply 12vdc to the Input Trigger wire on the KPtechnologies Auto Lock
module. The doors should lock and stay locked until voltage is removed from
the Input Trigger wire.

Summer is Coming
I asked Kevin at KP Tech and to the best of his knowledge no one has installed this module on a TSX. You can be the first! He is pretty good at supporting the forums on his site and he also answers questions here. But you may want to go to his forum and ask there so it is documented for all future TSX owners.
BTW I want my locks to lock when I take the car out of Park and unlock when I put it back in Park. There is a Park Pin which would seem to support this. Unfortunately it is located in the center console on the drivers side of the gear selector. Pin 1 (or 0) on the connector will give you 12V when the car is out of Park and 0 again when in park. Someday I mean to take that console apart and probe those pins to verify this. If so I will buy the module and install it. I'm a little afriad to take that apart fearing I may break something.
If you install this keep us posted.

I want this as well on my TSX. I think that is a good safety feature to have and I think it should've came stock. Let me know Rocket_man if you do this mod I think I will do it if it all works out.

My preference would be to lock off the park pin trigger. If that is not possible I'd go for the lock on ignition. If I do either I will post a DIY.

If you get an aftermarket alarm or remote start, the installer can trigger the auto locks to lock when you turn on the ignition and shut off it will unlock. (when car is in parked)
Thats another option, but apparently there some rumor that we can unlock the feature ourselves. Not positive but its done in some euro cars. It was floating around earlier

hmm...I've been driving through some rough areas pretty often over the past year and keep catching myself with my doors unlocked at stoplights so I think I might go ahead and be the guinea pig for this module.
Does anybody know where exactly in the car the module goes? Inside the driver's door? Under the hood? To the left of the steering column?
After finals I'll bust out the helms manual and check it out

Here is a DIY for an Accord - very similar (if not exact) install:
