Auto unlock car when sensing key fob

[doniela]

HI , So I got my 2023 Telluride Ex, and I like it, but it has a future, when I approach my vehicle and it senses key fob it automatically unfold mirrors , but does not unlock car. does anyone know if there is a way for it to automatically unlocks doors, when it senses key fob? cause to be honest, that future of unfolding mirrors and not unlocking doors, is pointless , also I did find out that DIGITAL KEY does not work on this trim ( very misleading information on KIA's website )

I do not think that there is an Auto Unlock feature, my 22 Nightfall does not.

here are parts for it ,
Seller has mentioned that the doors will only lock on trims without power side mirrors(LX
and S). EX and above with power side mirrors will work with both lock and unlock.

You can change the settings to stop the mirror from unfolding but I don’t about automatically unlocking the car. Auto unlocking the car is not a good idea for security purposes.

I got a 2024 and it does unlock AND unfold the mirrors when I approach, we have a Tesla and love that feature so I'm even more in love now that I found out my new Telluride does it too. And the use of my phone as a digital key is amazing as well!! I have a Google Pixel 7 pro and got it to work even though it says it's not supported.
