A bit of curiosity

Ever since I put the flush door pins I get passengers complaining about not being able to get out of the car from the back doors until I actually open my door or push the button to unlock all the doors.

Is there any way to make all the doors able to be pulled on the release and unlock the rest of the doors?
Like the passenger (shotgun) door.
Pull lever and it unlocks.
Back doors pull handle and does not unlock until the doors are unlocked.
Thanks if anybody decides to help

Unfortunately no. Its a safety mechanism in place of child proof locks.

Your idiotic post just gave me an idea. I wonder if there is a way to tap into the unlock lock buttons wire and create custom unlock lock button in the back seat for passengers. Maybe put it by the center arm console by the ashtray

They could always walk instead of riding in the back seat. Tell them to suck it up.

I wish I had an unlock button.
I always have to pop my door open to unlock the doors. That way the kids don't hurt themselves trying to figure out how to get out.

Yup. I am wondering the same. But I think the op wants a way for the back riders to get out on their own without the front rider or the drive lift a finger.

I am reading to enjoy my popcorn.

Between the center vents and the radio in the center console, near the hazard switch. Oy!

Had it about 6 months.
I figured a door lock/unlock button would be on the door with the window switches like almost every other car I've owned.
I saw that switch up there, but just figured it was for something else, who would put a door unlock button so far away.
No sense in reading the manual either. Guys don't need instructions.

Oh well, I guess it's time to dye my hair blonde.

I actually prefer the location where it is.. either driver or passenger can reach it and cuts clutter on the door.

It's ok - most idiots don't know that they are. So you're in the top half.

Since you're still a with your car, it really would be in your best interest to get a couple of Foster's oil cans and sit down with your manual. There's a lot with our cars that's not really intuitive, so you'll be sure to learn a couple of things. And do some reading here, you'll learn about dyno mode, tons of DIYs, how to open your windows with your key, and most importantly, find out what tools most of us are.
