Hi All,
Is there a way to automatically unlock the passenger door when you turn the key off (similar to driver door)? My gf finds this very annoying and I'd like to placate her if at all possible.
Thanks!

I'm not sure if you can have the doors unlock when you turn the key off, but my SC has been set to unlock both doors when I put the Transmission into "Park," which I find very convenient.
I think the default setting (on my '02) is to unlock only the driver's door when setting "Park," and I recall having the dealer reset this to operate both doors.
This makes it pretty easy and intuitive to unlock the passenger door to allow someone to get in or out of the car, and it's not a bad idea to have the car in "Park" while that's going on.

My C-Best list is a little cryptic, but I do believe that the default is, as mentioned, to do nothing when shifting into Park. This can be set to unlock both doors when shifting into park.
You can also set the car to unlock both doors with one push of the "Unlock" button on the key, and also to unlock both doors when the key is operated in the keyhole in the driver's door (there is no keyhole in the passenger door). The default on this is to require two pushes of the button or two twists of the key to unlock both doors.
I can't remember the last time I used the key in the keyhole, but I guess it's nice to have in case the battery in the key goes dead.
