96 Volvo 850, Can I program remote entry to unlock all doors with 1 press of the unlock button?

Can I program remote entry to unlock all doors with 1 press of the unlock button? Currently 1 press will unlock only the drivers door and 2 presses will unlock all doors. There must be a way to do this because I once test drove an 850 with this feature.



Thanks


I think that depends on the system fitted to the car. 1996 was the first year they went to the 2 step unlocking, and as far as I know there's no simple way to change it to the older style.

My '96 has only one click. :)

Yes, but you're not in North America where this 2-step function is considered a safety feature - the bad guys can't hide on the passenger side of your car and get in when you unlock all the doors with the remote.

Do they have anyhting else than bad guys over there? :)

The only ones over here that aren't bad guys all post on this newsgroup!

And only in this newsgroup. The bad guys are the ones who cross-post that political crap into this newsgroup.

Right, what I should have said was, "The only ones over here that aren't bad guys all post ABOUT VOLVOS on this newsgroup!"
