I don't think we have that option. But I will keep a eye out. I just bought a new remote and it didn't have any instruction on doing that.

2002 F250 - Another classic symptom of the VSM on it's way out.

Not a FOB or programming problem, 2002 are notorious for the Vehicle Security Module going south. They upgraded the VSM in 2003 with a newer part #. Data must be downloaded by a dealership before a new one is installed and the new VSM must then be re-flashed.

Kinda like a Microsoft version upgrade. They fix the problems and let you pay for it.

The dealers are the only ones that I know of that have the equipment to flash a new VSM.

Reread the post and YEP, getting too old and eyesight going fast ...

I had forgotten how my original FOBs worked since installing the Crimestopper unit. Everything locks and unlocks at once with it but no horn.

Sorry for leading you astray......

Not sure of your question but both the 02 and 03 standard operation of the FOB is the way that your FOB is working. You would have to go aftermarket to get everything to unlock with one click.

Ummmm, not trying to hi-jack the thread, but I want to know what Guzzle's Crimestopper Unit is. You know, since my truck got stolen I'm interested. I don't see anything about it on Guzzle's web site.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program

Crimestopper is just a brand of Remote Start/Alarm. I picked up one of the simple units from ebay - $49, no alarm, just a remote start with programmable cool down. It is wired into the door locks so when it is remote started, it makes sure that the doors are locked. When you lock it with the FOBs that come with it, if someone were to break a window, it will not start with the key or even pulling the key cylinder and trying with a screwdriver.

Installed it myself (a harrowing experience in itself) and does the simple things that I wanted. You can bet better anti-theft stuff out there like the Viper units but they also come with a price tag.
