Newbie convenience pack unlocking question...

I know that I can unlock the driver's door by pressing the little black button on the driver's door handle while I have the fob in my pocket, but is there a way to unlock the passenger door too? I swear I did it once, but cannot replicate the feat.

TIA,

Richard

Pressing the little black button on the passenger's side door handle will unlock both doors. I believe there is also a setting for the driver's side assigning it opening only one or both locks, but this may just be for the button on the fob.

This is one of those "Read The Manual" moments.
You can program the key fob to unlock only the driver's side door on the first press and the other doors on the second.

Mine is set up to ONLY unlock the driver's side door on the first key fob "unlock click." If I have passengers, I click it twice.

Oddly, I read the manual. ;-) It turns out that programming the fob to open both doors on the first click also programs the door handle button to open both doors.

Yep, pretty handy. I have mine set to unlock both doors.
