2nd Key fob to open all doors

Featured Replies

When I took delivery of my Yeti, a few weeks ago, I utilised the Maxidot to set the key-fob to open all doors, rather than just the driver's door. This worked for my key-fob. I just found out today that my wife's key-fob only opens the Driver's door with one click and takes 2 clicks to open all the passenger doors. I tried using her key in the ignition whilst checking the Maxidot, but it was already set to all doors.

Am I missing something simple? I even went so far as to check the manual but could find nothing relevant

With your wife's key in the ignition. Use Maxidot to change the setting to a different one (any one) and the exit Maxidot. Turn off the ignition and then turn it back on again. Use Maxidot to change the setting to the one you want (All Doors) and exit Maxidot.

Hopefully this will erase any anomalies in the memory and you will have the setting you require. I assume from your comments that you had already realised that each key has its own settings - But it is worth restating it here for others who may not have realised this.

Opening the drivers door only is a safety feature. Some years ago there were a spate of handbag thefts because women were getting in the car and immediately placing their handbag on the passenger seat. Easy then to open drivers door and steal the handbag. Even easier if done at say traffic lights.

Is it so onerous to click the button twice?

I have my car set to auto lock/unlock, again as a security issue. My boss was in a queue of traffic and some opportunist tried to open their hatchback door take what they could. l luckily it was locked and the potential thief ran off.

Think about it.

I guess it depends whether you normally carry passengers and also the the local crime rate

I too have found it confusing as to why some find it energy sapping/annoying to have to press the unlock button twice in a nanosecond to unlock all doors :think: and your explanation above covers the reasons perfectly. I suppose different things annoy different people.

Getting into the car, a double click is not much of an issue. It's more a nuisance when getting out, since the driver's door happily unlocks via the door handle, but when I get to the boot with key safely stowed in pocket, it's locked. At least, it was until adjusted via Maxidot.

" At least, it was until adjusted via Maxidot."

so... the lesson is to find your way around Maxidot.
