Default 2014 WRX Technical issues

Hi All

I have been searching everywhere and have come up with nothing. Nothing in the manual either

On the 2011+ models the WRX has a safety feature when you use the remote to open the doors. Press the button once and it opens the drivers side door, press it again to open the rest.

Do you know of a way that will allow you to press the remote once to open all the doors at the same time ?

This really drives me nuts when I have a bunch of people getting in the car and I have to repeatedly press the remote button to make sure all the doors are open when people try to get in.

Also, do you know of a way to make the car beep when you press the remote ? I like the sound of the early 90's WRX's when they are opened and started

Any help would be appreciated, Cheers

This is the double locking security feature that comes enabled by default.
There should be a note or reference on how to disable it in the manual that the car came with.

Not too sure on if it is possible to get the Sigma alarm to chirp on arming/disarming.

Just replace the head unit, I had issues with bluetooth until I did this, hasn't skipped a beat since!

Just got the manual out of the car, 2-20 deals with the locking/unlocking but doesn't really mention much more about the scheme.
Did a quick google across the usual forums and it seems that people have been told that it is a safety feature that can't be disabled or can't be disabled without assistance of a dealership.
Best bet would be to ring them up and see what can or can't be done.

Thank you Soksta, I pretty much came up with the same thing too, the manual didn't offer any help and other forums only expressed their irritation towards it.
Off to the dealership I suppose really wish there was a way for the owners to change it though.

Pressing the lock key 5 times or unlock key 5 times in a row....one enables the chirp and one disables it, if its available on that model just not sure anymore which combo does on or off haha try both
On the 5th press it will single beep or double beep and that signals its on.

Hook a siren up to the hazard light circuit, with a switch to disable the siren when you need to the hazards.
