To unlock all the doors I have to press the fob twice, once for the drivers door and the second for other 3. Also when I turn the vehicle off I still have to unlock the door to get something out of back doors. My question is; is there a way to have all the doors unlock with one push of the fob and is it possible to have all doors unlock when the vehicle is shut off.

I believe I read something in the manual about changing how the lock/unlock works....If I remember correctly you can set it to unlock all doors the first time. You may wanna check the manual.Sorry.

Most after market security systems will do what you want so I don't see why the factory system can't work the same. It is worth looking into. I have the same problem so I may have to check it out.

Look in the setup option on the EVIC and you will find where you can set it to open all doors on 1 click. As far as the other option I can't answer. Good luck.

Yes you can change it in the EVIC if you read the manual very carefully. I had the same issue with my truck and one day had nothing to do so read the manual cover to cover ( I was really bored) and found the section on how to modify it. It is really easy if you follow the instructions and makes it a lot nicer getting in an d out of the truck when there is more than one person.

Extracted from page 21/22 of the 2008 Ram owners manaul -

The system can be programmed to unlock all the doors or
the driver’s door only upon the first UNLOCK button
press by using the following procedure:
1. Perform this operation while standing outside the
vehicle.
2. Press and hold the LOCK button on your RKE transmitter.
3. Continue to hold the LOCK button at least four
seconds, but no longer than 10 seconds, then press and
hold the UNLOCK button while still holding the LOCK
button.
4. Release both buttons at the same time.
5. This will allow you to unlock all doors on the first
press of the UNLOCK button.
6. To reactivate this feature, repeat the above steps.

[ShawnC13]

Done! Did it this morning and it is as easy as it sounds I was able to do it in the dark, but when you are having kids get int eh back sure nice not to half to remember to double click so they can get the door open!!

 

[whipinalluponya]

there is a way to program all of your doors to unlock when your drivers side door opens, im not sure where in the manual it is but i know that mine and my dads does it when you open the door.

 

[ShawnC13]

Thanks for that will have to read more as that would be nice as well. Frustrating getting out and then forgetting to unlock the door to get hte little kids out of the back.

 

[whipinalluponya]

are you sure that your child safety locks arent on? ........ just something that i thought of.

if they are on the back doors can only be opened from the outside, even if they are unlocked........ im sure you already know this but to turn them off the switch is on the back doors.

This feature is called 'Auto Unlock on Exit'. If your interested, it is on page 30.
