SOLVED: e-Light Module: Unlock Doors when Ignition is Switched to Off?

Recently installed the eLight Professional Module to access features not programmable via NCS Expert:

While NCS is able to program via the GM(?) module to lock doors on "drive off," there is no command line in the module code that enables programming to unlock doors with Ignition Off. The eLight professional module claims to do the latter for the E53; this function was verified by a car-solutions support staff.

Has anyone used the eLight Professional model or higher to provide the "unlock doors with ignition off" feature?? If yes, did anything extra in terms of wiring or programming need to be done?

My inquiry to the support staff at car-solutions (submitted today) is pending an answer likely until next week. I wanted to see if anyone on Xoutpost had a solution or insight on this.
--------------------------------
SOLVED: Received help from Car-solution support staff: there are 5 wires coming out of the eLight module: red (power from Basic-Module aka General Module in Bentley's Manual), white (to LCM), brown (ground from from Basic-Module aka General Module in Bentley's Manual), black (output pulse trigger voltage--optional), blue (output trigger voltage--optional). Red, Brown, White were attached according to instructions (Downloads). The black wire needed to be connected to the the yellow/red wire (pin 24) of the White 26-pin connector on the Basic-Module. The yellow/red wire is the Central Lock Control input for my 2006 X5 E53.

Note: this extra step is not included in the general instructions. As per Car-solution support: if the 3-wire connection is correct, the eLight module is correctly programmed, and the doors still do not unlock with ignition switched to off, only then should you connect the black wire to yellow/red wire of the Basic-Module, as described.

Now, with NCS Expert Programming and the eLight module, all the features I wanted for now are realized.

-------------------------------
I am certain the module is programmed and wired correctly, as I have programmed the following with proper function:

1) tip-blinker--turn signal blinks 3X with touch of turn signal stalk
2) Parking lights as DRLs -- eLight along with NCS Expert programming made angel eyes the only DRLs (NO cornering lights, low voltage halogen "high beam" nor fog lights).
3) Custom light sequence for Lock/Unlock verification. As seen in Car solution videos, the sequences can be complex. My sequence is pedestrian by comparison, but the eLight enabled me to setup a sequences that was unique to any option in the LCM IV of my X5 E53 (2006) programmable by NCS.
