Locking doors while car is on

[WMC]

Unfortunately this is a common problem with many modern push to start cars these days. I don’t understand why the fob is designed not to unlock when the engine is running either.

At one point I was considering modding that plastic cover over the key hole to make it easier to access with the physical key, but when I tried to contact dealers to buy a spare cover, I was not successful.

If you have a 2020 US Telluride, the CarLink remote start app for the Accessorides kit is super responsive. I’ve just been using that to lock/unlock the car while running with my family waiting inside, while I go to grab takeout. Takes 2 seconds for the command to work through the app.

Great to know that my issues are not a one-off, Tellthemride.. I dumped my 2017 Hyundai Tucson for the Telluride after the dual clutch transmission class action lawsuit but never had this issue with the push button Tucson & remote, I assume same as Kia at that time. Bought my 2020 in March, read all the Accesorides posts and will definitely convert from UVO if nothing better exists at that time. My Nissan Maxima Platinum offers key fob remote start plus app remote start for 8 bucks a month. WTF?

You should be able to lock the doors with the key fob while outside. If you leave a fob inside the vehicle (while not running), it won't let you lock the doors via inside or outside buttons - prevents you from accidentally locking your keys in the car.
It will however let you lock the doors with a key fob from the outside (even while having another fob inside). It's smart enough to know that if you lock with a fob from outside, even though there's a fob inside, you're not locking your keys inside.

So, using your fob will work even if you have another fob in the vehicle.

That’s incorrect.

This car has turned out to be so inconvenient when it comes to technology

I agree, you should be a 63 year old who only knows about one percent of the new tec. Also bought a new smart LG tv soon after the Telluride and my head is ready to explode! Ha!
