Automatic parking break engagement when parked

[tventz]

Wondering if it is possible to code automatic parking brake engagement when a car is put on park. I don't like the wobble, so before I release brake pedal I hit the parking brake. Also not sure if this is true, but I think I read somewhere that the wobble may not be healthy for suspension.

You probably mean to say brake, not break, and the wobble is not healthy for the transmission.

No, it cannot be coded.

If you keep "Auto H" engaged, it automatically engages the parking brake when you turn the engine off.

I get in my car, hit start, put my seatbelt on, close the door, and hit the "Auto H" button (note: auto hold will only engage with the driver's seatbelt fastened and door closed). This switches from parking brake to auto hold. When I turn it off I simply hit the start button and get out of the car, automatically goes into park and engages the parking brake.

Dumb question, but what "wobble" are we referring to in this case? tventz CatalinP

When you let off the brake after stopping the car in "Park" gear it tends to move back and forth a little if the e-brake isn't engaged. This puts undue stress on the transmission.
