Is there a programming step that I missed in the OM that allows us to enable "All doors to unlock" when unlocking the drivers door via touching the inside of the door handle.

My last Ford 2010 SHO had that feature to allow a swipe to unlock all doors rather than just drivers door.

My preference would be for the driver's door to unlock on the first touch, then all doors unlock on a second touch. That's how it is on my wife's 08 Lexus, and it works well.

Autounlock feature (if enabled)
The autounlock feature will unlock all the doors when:

• the ignition is on, all the doors are closed, and the vehicle has been in
motion at a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h);

• the vehicle has then come to a stop and the ignition is turned off or to
accessory; and

• the driver door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition being
turned off or to accessory.

Note: The doors will not autounlock if the vehicle has been
electronically locked after the ignition is turned off and before the driver
door is opened.

Yes, there's an option for this buried somewhere in the menus on the left LCD. I've got mine set up this way.

That's talking about getting out of the car. The OP was talking about getting in the car
 






the option to change is under one of the Left LCD's options. Just changed it last night to unlock all doors with one button push

Getting in is further down in the same section:

Unlocking the doors/two stage unlock

1. Press (unlock symbol) and release to unlock the driver’s door.
Note: The interior lamps and turn signal lamps will illuminate.

2. Press (unlock symbol) and release again within three seconds to unlock all the
doors. The turn signals will flash.

The remote entry system activates the illuminated entry feature; this
feature turns on the lamps for 25 seconds or until the ignition is turned
on.
The battery saver feature will turn off the lamps 10 minutes after the
ignition is turned off.

Two stage unlocking may be disabled or re-enabled by simultaneously
pressing the (uock symbol) and (unlock symbol) controls on the transmitter for four seconds (disabling two stage unlock allows all vehicle doors to unlock
simultaneously). The turn signal lamps will illuminate twice to indicate
that two-stage unlock was enabled or disabled.

If equipped with an IA key, when two stage unlocking is disabled,
intelligent access at the driver’s door results in an unlock of all doors
(not just the driver door).
 






Thanks Vic,

That worked. And I believe that is how it worked on the Taurus as well.
 






2 IA keys

If my wife and I both approach the car, how does the memory feature know who to set the memory seats for? Which one of us? I know each of us can program the IA for our custom settings. Does the driver have to push 1 or 2 on the door? If we both have our phones on ,who's does it recognize? In my Enclave I believed it recognized the last one "hooked up" first.
