Need help with 2003 Remote
First of all, I am proud to have joined the TL-S owners club a week ago . I've been planning the purchase for a while, and I am very happy with it. Granted, not everything's perfect, and I was seriously considering the G35, but at the end the TL-S was just a much better deal overall (36 months/12,000 miles lease, nothing down, tax rolled in, $29450 cap cost with mud guards, $438/month). Very, very happy with my purchase. After a week of driving I have found the handling to be better than I expected (and my standards are pretty high, my last car was an M3).
Here's a question. The remote on the 2003 TL-S works like this: the first time you press the unlock button, it opens up the driver door. The second time you press it, it opens all doors. You don't do anything for 30 seconds and it locks all doors. Drives me nuts. I'd prefer that when I push the unlock button, all four doors are unlocked, and that they stay unlocked. Is there any way to do that?
The second minor annoyance is that the first time you push the locki button, it locks the doors and activates the alarm (judging by the alarm light next to the lock knob on the driver door). I have to push the button again to hear it chime. I'd prefer that it chimes after the first button push. I am used to locking the doors as I am walking away from the car and the sound confirms the lock for me. Now I find myself pushing the button twice every time. Any way to change that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i do agree with you on the chime thing, i always press it twice, i think has to with acura thinking more people dislike the chime than those who like it, so they made it that way
and with the unlock i think it might be a security thing so that if you are being followed to you car by someone only your door can be opened or if someone is waiting to get in your car
I have no idea on how to change any of that, just my opinion.

Sorry 'bout the late post... but a lot of us have aftermarket alarms installed and don't use the stock keyfobs anymore.
Good luck with your "enhancements!"
