How can I get the door unlock reprogrammed to open all doors with 1 click

I don't think any of these are possible. Try Google Camry Remote and see what happens. But I think these are safety features and can't be overriden...

I am shopping for a new vehicle and I did ask a few questions regarding custom remotes.

You can get an aftermarket remote, such as the Lo Jack that replaces your remote with features your remote may not have.

I would suggest asking about it at the dealer for further details because it would replace your Toyota programmed remote. _________ ===fish=== ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

The change would be made to the car, but I doubt it's possible. You're asking for an override of safety features. If I were Toyota's lawyer I'd make darned sure those aspects were permanently burned into the computer's memory.

There's a stranger lurking near your car as you approach. Do you really want to unlock all the doors simultaneously?

You don't have to disable the panic button. You only have deter an unintended activation. Buy a sheet of rubber stick-on bumpers, the shallower the better. Cut one in half and use the halves to bracket the button. If you first clean the face of the fob with alcohol, the fix will last for years.

So would I, until I press the trunk-release button by mistake. Then I'm glad I don't have to go slam the lid shut. The button's delayed action lets me recover without penalty.

I was wrong. AFAIK, you can do this on the Scion xB, but I haven't found any instructions for any other Toyota models...

I think it was Hachiroku ???? who stated:

Do which?

The xB unlocks one door with one click, the rest with the second just like the Camry.

The panic button works 'zactly like the Camry.

There isn't a trunk opener with the key fob 'cause the xB has a hatch and the hatch unlocks with rest of the doors and then opens manually when unlocked.

I think Trueno is SOL, except he can cover the panic button some way.

If you go to Scion Life, you can program the xB to open all the doors on the first click. I think there was something else you could do from the key, also.

Yeah...you sit down and your horn starts honking in the driveway...

Same with the tC. There is a 'latch' under the trunk lid, above the license plate. It's really a button that actuates a soleniod controlled lock release.

I'm *NEVER* SOL!!! ;P

I didn't know that. It doesn't sound like something I'd want to do, though; I like it the way it is.

Yeah, that's why my clickers have a medallion on the key ring that goes over the button and is held in place with velcro. I decided to do that after a morning when I was leaving a motel room at around 5:30 and triggered it accidentally. The horns are LOUD (135 db Stebel air horns[*]nd I'm sure the other folks in the motel weren't a bit happy 'bout that.

Yup. Same setup.

Of course not. I never have been either, except the time I tried to program my xB clicker and Camry clicker to both work with both cars. It was a good idea, but they're on different frequencies, so in spite of all the contortions I went through trying to do the programming, they wouldn't work . . . I was SOL . . . .

Thanks for the tip; I may do something along this line. That panic button can be so annoying. I have yet to set if off on purpose, but how many times accidentally, sometimes even from inside the house while looking through my purse (where I keep my keys & somehow manage to hit the panic button) for something lese?

That rings bells. My car-alarm-at-a-motel story... 1987. Tuba City, a Navajo village a few miles east of the Grand Canyon with a very nice motel on the south side. Quiet place, on the whole. Overnight, some daft b*gger's car alarm kept setting itself off outside my window. Staff had no idea what to do about it. Owner clearly didn't know/care. Several outbursts later, I doubt there was a human or coyote within a mile that was still asleep. Could have caused an international incident. Or grumpy locals.
