    If I open the passenger side door or the hatch with the fob in my pocket, all doors unlock. If I open driver side door, no other doors unlock unless I push the unlock button on the fob or inside the car.

    Is there a way to unlock all doors from the driver side without physically using the fob or unlocking from inside the car?

    Thanks

    Hey Ninn,

    Try this,

    Step 2. Turn the car off if it is on.

    Step 3. Be outside the car with the doors closed; The 'lock' button (with the closed padlock symbol), and the 'alarm' button (a speaker symbol with lines radiating from it) need to be pressed simultaneously for "about five seconds". You may hear one beep coming from inside the vehicle, but you should hear two double-beeps from outside the car. Release the buttons. If you hear a pattern other than two double-beeps, press the buttons again for another five seconds... And again if necessary. Once you hear the two double-beeps, the SKS should be in the 'all doors unlock' mode.

    Step 4. Test it.

    If that doesn't work, let me know.

    CHANGING THE DOORS TO BE UNLOCKED
    Each time you push the lock button
    together with the panic button on the
    smart key for about 5 seconds with the
    hybrid system off, the setting for door
    unlocking will change as follows:

    1. Driver’s door unlocking mode: If you
    perform smart unlocking operation on
    the driver’s door, it will unlock. Performing
    unlocking operation on the
    front passenger’s door or back door
    will unlock all the doors. When the
    system switches to this mode, one
    beep sounds inside the vehicle and two
    beeps sound three times.

    2. All doors unlocking mode: Performing
    smart unlocking operation on either
    front door or back door will unlock all
    the doors. When the system switches
    to this mode, one beep sounds inside
    the vehicle and two beeps sound twice.

    3. Single door unlocking mode: The
    driver’s door or back door on which
    you perform smart unlocking operation
    will unlock. However, performing unlocking
    operation on the front passenger’s
    door will unlock all the doors.
    When the system switches to this
    mode, one beep sounds inside the vehicle
    and two beeps sound once.

    This is the excerpt from the owners manual

    It worked on my '07! I read the owners' manual --obviously need to read it again.
    Thank you ---you guys are great!! I've been gritting my teeth about this for weeks.
