Sometimes when I walk up to my 2024 Flash it will unlock the front and rear doors. Sometimes it only unlocks my front doors. Anyone figure out how to make it unlock all doors always?

Here's the reason that you really don't want to do that - personal safety. You find yourself in a bad situation where escape is the best remedy. You get to your truck and yank open the door - and by the way unlock every other door so the bad guy can get right in via another door. So much for your escape...

Fortunately I have never NEEDED to escape a truly bad situation, but it does happen regularly... It's not that much effort to open the drivers door and reach in to push the unlock button, or before getting to the truck, reach into my pocket and hit the unlock button twice on the fob.

Maybe I want the bad guy trapped in the truck with me 😈

f that ever happened to me they'll be calling the next of kin for the attacker.

He's a dead man he gets in my truck coming after me.
Unfortunately I live in a state / county where it is almost impossible for a private citizen to carry a weapon.

Over here I can not even imagine how such a situation could happen, outside a drug deal.

We have a high concentration of long guns, but no pistols or revolvers. To own a pistol you need 6 months of documented training in one of the handful licensed clubs in Norway. And be an active competitor in pistol shooting.

So the criminals don’t bother with guns, the heat is 100x as bad if they are armed. The criminals rarely attack or threaten innocent citizens. They stick to drugs and burglary (when people aren’t home).

The police is armed now, but there is maybe a couple of shootings every year.

Long guns is very rarely used in crimes besides “tragedies at home”.

I do agree on your description of them as art. Growing up with movies and video games I have an affection to certain calibers and gun models.

As owning and/or shooting with them is impossible, I bought a few of them as air guns. The weight and feel is good enough on the high quality models, but the smell and shooting experience is lackluster.

This went pretty far from the topic, sorry OP.

And don't forget that around here the criminals have more rights than the honest citizen...

What exactly is the crime being discussed here? A "bad guy" gets in one of the other doors you unlock and does what? I can't even figure out why a criminal would want to do that or what they would do after they got in the car with you. Will someone explain this to me?

Kill you, rob you, rape you, carjack you, steal the vehicle, you name it. If you are trying to escape via your vehicle, letting the bad guy into the vehicle is not a good idea. Unfortunately, it happens regularly.

Similar concept to seat belts. I am likely alive because of seat belts and use them all the time, but I don't want the vehicle rendered inoperative because I have not put the seat belt on. If I'm trying to escape, I don't want to give up that few seconds.

I just try and not live/play near 'criminals'
But, if one wants to visit my area, it's going to be interesting and will suck cleaning things up.
I'm sure in Norway you don't have as many 'criminals' so you don't have to think about this. How we all wish we were in the same situation.

If you grab a handle on a door other than the driver it unlocks all so usually if I have passengers I'll grab the back door first then open my door.

I was wondering the other day ... if I'm sitting inside the truck, so the key and phone are within range of the truck; what happens when someone grabs an outside handle? Will it unlock just like when I grab it?

E.g. I jump in, hit the lock button on the door (if I can remember that is where it is), and the bad guy (who is trying to steal my groceries) grabs the passenger handle. Or presses the Frunk release.

No. When I pick up passengers, they can’t get in unless I press the unlock button or shut the truck off.
