I keep forgetting to post this for a while (years) but if you don't want to reach to open the door on your passenger side just tap the sunroof switch up two times and all the doors unlock. Also, I would disconnect the cruise control linkage if the lever or relay is faulty or the car is just old. The car dangerously accelerates at random times when it goes bad...

Tried doing the same to my car a while ago.. didnt work though..

Any other input in doing so? Reaching for the door opener on the passenger side is really a pain..

Thanks.

Unhappy

Tried it on mine with no luck.
I have aftermarket alarm and door lock. Key fob button won't unlock while car is on (normal) so yes, letting someone into car while running is a chore.

Maybe it doesn't work on all cars? I have a viper 550 alarm on mine and it does it everytime i tap it twice. I can open the doors when the ignition is on and the car off or when it's running at any time.

All 4 doors always unlocked when I turned the key to unlock the driver's door. How do you get in the car without unlocking all of the doors? They must have changed things for different years.

No ***** all the doors unlock when you turn the key all the way.... When I turn my ignition on or close my door all my doors lock for some reason and when I have to pick someone up I had to reach over to unlock the doors because locking and unlocking my door takes too damn long..

It works on mine ???


I'll make a video of it...

Your system isnt factory, YNV, stop comparing it to the OEM system that DOES NOT lock automatically when you drive.

It's your aftermarket system that causes the sunroof to unlock your car too.

Factory doesn't do any of that.

It shouldn't take long at all, unless your aftermarket system changed the locks 10000000% so that every single thing was different, you can pull your lock up on the drivers side front door and unlock every door that way, then push it back down when whomever you're picking up gets in.

That's why i said..."Maybe it doesn't work on all cars? I have a viper 550 alarm on mine "

I was wondering if it worked on other cars with alarms....

I have the same alarm but mine doesn't do that....I guess it depends on what the installer did, or the accessories he hooked with it...not a bad alarm! Does yours go off by itself sometimes? Whats your sensitivity set at?

EDIT:

I have the 5002 alarm..
