What do you mean by auto headlights? Mine come on automatically if that's what you mean.

i'm not sure what else "auto headlights" would mean.

there is a way to disable DRLs and the auto lights...both are simple.

you can also rewire things so that your low beams stay on when the high beams are on....which is a nice upgrade.

That's good to know....whenever I switch out my head unit I'll make sure to try it.
