This allows an unlock of the doors as you approach with the device and ties into a compustar alarm system. I have used one on a previous car and it works well.

Thanks for that info! As I mentioned, on my previous car I had an aftermarket system (Advanced Keys AK-105B) that did what I wanted.

Unfortunately, I found that it created a small constant drain on the battery, and with how little I drive my car (only about 500-600 km or 300-400 miles per month), it ended up having me run through a battery about every other year...LOL. This was regardless of what kind of battery I ran - everything from OEM to high-end AGM batteries just got hammered from my usage case.

For that reason, I'm kind of leery of any aftermarket systems this time around.

Figuring out how to have it automatically unlock both doors with the handle touch at least resolves a big part of my annoyance with it. We'll see how I do with just that bit taken care of.
