Solution for manual cardoor locks?

I recently bought a 2012 Jeep Patriot and I love everything besides the manual door locks. I have to push down the lock on each and every door and the key to unlock my car only unlocks the drivers door. Is there any type of gadget or ANYTHING I can buy or have done to have a master lock that will lock/unlock all the doors at once? Im so afraid someone or myself will forget to lock their door!!!

    Check your owners manual for instructions on how to reprogram the power locks to lock/unlock all doors...you can also unlock all doors by hitting the remote button twice.

    "To Unlock The Doors And Liftgate

    Press and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE

    transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door, or twice

    within five seconds to unlock all doors and liftgate. The

    turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock

    signal. The illuminated entry system will also turn on.

    Remote Key Unlock, Driver Door/All First Press

    This feature lets you program the system to unlock either

    the driver’s door or all doors on the first press of the

    UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter. To change the

    current setting, proceed as follows:

    • For vehicles equipped with the Electronic Vehicle

    Information Center (EVIC), refer to “Electronic Vehicle

    Information Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings

    (Customer-Programmable Features)” in “UnderstandThree

    Button RKE Transmittering Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

    • For vehicles not equipped with the EVIC, perform the

    following steps:

    1. Press and hold the LOCK button on a programmed

    RKE transmitter for at least 4 seconds, but no longer than

    10 seconds. Then, press and hold the UNLOCK button

    while still holding the LOCK button.

    2. Release both buttons at the same time.

    3. Test the feature while outside of the vehicle by pressing

    the LOCK/UNLOCK buttons on the RKE transmitter

    with the ignition switch in the LOCK position and the

    key removed.

    4. Repeat these steps if you want to return this feature to

    its previous setting.

    NOTE: Pressing the LOCK button on the RKE transmitter

    while you are inside the vehicle will activate the

    Vehicle Security Alarm. Opening a door with the Vehicle

    Security Alarm activated will cause the alarm to sound.

    Press the UNLOCK button to deactivate the Vehicle

    Security Alarm."

    First world problems..

    But yes you should be able to fit an after market central / remote locking system to that car. Any good car accessory shop should be able to hook you up.

    You should be able to find a central locking kit which can be fitted to the car. You need to search and/or ask at local workshops
