Unlock Both Doors with Button

Does anybody know if it's possible to change the outside door lock/unlock button to unlock both doors at once?

Passenger side request buttong unlocks both doors. Drivers side unlocks drivers door, if you press it twice it also unlocks passenger door.

I believe Zippy is looking to open both doors on the first push.

Yeah, 2 pushes unlocks both. Unless you can reprogram the computer to unlock both, but that's a little bit of a PITA :P

Take my word for it. If you want to be married for 21, open her door.

So all that shows is Zoom is more respectful than you...

Its sweet that after 10 years of marriage he still opens her door for her, and i bet she smiles everytime he does it.

yeah. my dad always opens the door for anyone that rides with him- except like his brothers . also my mom's dad would always walk out to the car with you after a visit and open the door and help you in.

Its a "common" courtesy that I still try to perform even today.

yeah i used to own a 65 mustang. I heard a story once where the guy wrote that he always opened the door to his car for a lady and then he would watch through the window as he walked around to his side to see if she would reach over and unlock his door from the inside. then he knew she was a keeper.

my wife when we were dating would reach over unloock it and push the door open a little

Ditto, except replace "wife" with "girlfriend" and "married 10 years" with "going out for 2 years".

Opening the door is fine and all, but my wife doesn't care :P She appreciates me cooking and cleaning far more.

Haha, I was not lol-ing chivalry, just how cute it sounded to hear "chivalry is dead". I love that you guys (well majority of u anyways) open the doors for your respective women. even tho I am single, I am lucky enough to have some pretty amazing friends who not only open the door for me but offer their hand to help me out and walk me to my car door when I am leaving.
Bronx tale is a fave movie and they put in that part about a woman leaning over to open the guys door chivalry should be mutual although automatic door unlock makes it a bit more interesting.
Most women appreciate the gesture boys, so +1 to opening the door for the lady would give my future man points for that annnnnnny day.

Going on 30...I had a Porsche 914 and most of the time the top was off so we both hopped over the doors...got her started out right. I did open it for her on our wedding day.

The other side of the coin is it cost me dearly. I spent almost as much on a 25th anniversery diamond ring as i did my RX8. Thats OK she definately earned it - no not from what you're thinking (OK maybe....) but just for putting up with me all those years.

That 914...my son (now 25) bought one 7 years ago. He dropped a Renesis in it about a year ago and may put it on Ebay in a few weeks.
