Power door locks question

Is there a way to set the remote to unlock all the doors when I push the button, rather than having to push the button twice to get all the doors to unlock?

Or is this something I need to have the dealer program?

the dealer can do it for $60.
or you can do it using Carsoft. $200 in hardware and software.

OP, I have been wondering about the same thing myself... I always need to open all 4 doors. I knew dealer could do it but forgot to have it done while the car was under warranty (not sure if it would have been covered as a 'free' item or not then either.)

I just checked their website... it seems like the full set goes for about 400 euros.

Any place that I can buy this for $200?? that sounds like a great price for the functionality.

On Ebay but it didn't work.
There are a few more features that can be programmed for the same $60 fee. Lock the doors once you start driving, disable/enable the rear airbags, headlights ON once you turn on the engine, A/C on or off when you turn the engine.......there are a few more. The dealer has a form that you have to fill out. On that form you can find everything that they can change for you


there you go

opening one door is a safety feature ,

example if you open all the doors a once, someone can jump in the vehicle, in a second , a crook that is .
