Default 1997 accord LX, unlock all doors at once?

Car
1997 Accord, LX, 4cyl automatic no factory bells and whistles.


Is there a mod, or a way to unlock all the doors from outside the car using the key on the drivers side door lock?

its annoying to have to open the drivers door, hit the switch then shut it, and open the rear door to put my crap in while its raining.

any thoughts?

If you turn the key in the driver's door and hold it, it suppose to unlock all doors. See attached pic. from owner's manual.

Also if you want to lock the drivers door while it is still open....hold the inside handle to "open" while locking I know the book says to use the outside but the inside works as well.....who wants to reach to the outside handle....hold the inside drivers handle open and lock the door....just remember your keys.
