Have a Mazda 6 2010 model.

At the moment, when you unlock the car with the remote,
all doors unlock. Not a good safety feature.
Ideally only the drivers door should unlock.
Stops thefts at traffic lights etc

Asked the local dealership, was told
it couldn't be done, all or nothing.

I used to have a '96 vs commodore
that could be programmed either way.

If you google it, there are pages of ways to program
Mazda keys, but they all appear to be for replicating
another key.

Any thoughts or help appreciated ...Ian

How is that not a good safety feature?

Thefts at traffic lights? Jeez, you must live in a bad area.

Here's a solution:

Unlock the doors with the fob, get in the car and then press the "lock"
button to lock the doors after you if you're that worried about it.

Either that, or you could just grow a pair.

Most cars central locking work the same as the Mazda, my Hilux and my
wife's Forester unlock all doors with one press of the button, I've
never owned a car which worked the other way.
I don't see it as a problem, if you are worried someone might get into
the car when stopped at traffic lights just lock the doors once you get
inside.

Have a read of the manual on all your cars, I didn't find it on the Ford
until I was reading the manual from front to back 3 years after owning it

Since my wife was working at a shopping centre and closing the shop
alone(and she now works nights at a Hospital) I programmed it for her to
only unlock the drivers door, you just press the button a second time to
unlock all doors
