Does your key unlock all 4 doors?

Mine does, but I am trying to figure out how to set it so it only open the drivers door on 1st click then opens all 4 doors on 2nd click. Is is setting changable via the dash?

Read page 87 of the 2003 owner's manual (a/k/a "TFM") for instructions on how to reprogram your key to accomplish what you want.

Keep in mind that if you have "key dependant settings" on that each key needs to be set, depending on who is using the key.

Whether you have key dependent settings or not, the setting for "global unlocking" or "selective unlocking" is in the key itself. Meaning, yes, you need to set it for each key regardless.

Hi,

Yes, you can do it yourself without change any setting.

Just direct point your smartkey to driver's door. Hold on "unlock" key until the red LED light come up and press "lock" key. All set.

Try to unlock now, it will unlock driver's door first and then all other doors on 2nd press of unlock.

You don't need to have the key pointed at anything. This setting change is done in the key only and can be set even if the key is miles away from the car.
