They immediately unlock again. Or the button does nothing. I forget exactly. Basically, it's impossible to lock the key in the car. I imagine that's the logic.
As far as not locking when you walk away from the car, I have no idea. There is a 3rd party device to fix that though. I installed mine in about 20min, and I was being very carefully methodical with every step. It's easy.
But you can still close the tailgate just fine with your keys in the truck. And guess what, the car will just unlock itself. So clearly they already have a solution.
So many contradictions in this damn car.
Also, doesn’t that device cause other issues? I’ve thought about getting it but didn’t like the compromises. Don’t remember what they were though.
I installed it in mine. What other issues? I have a 2025 N-Line and it's been fine.
Never had any problems, been working perfectly. Close all the doors, walk away with the key, 10sec later the doors lock. Unlocks again as you'd expect.
What year and what country? USA versions are missing a ton of features from other countries.
I'm in the US. 2025
Was referring to the 3rd party doorlocker.
Or do you mean it messes with features other countries have, that we don't?
Sorry I was really tired when I responded to that. I thought you were a different person responding to a different comment. I went to ioniq guy's site and it looks like the issue I was thinking of was this:
which isn't that big of a deal. idk why I remembered something bigger. I should have ordered this a long time ago.
I actually use Easy Access. It's very minor even when it does happen.
That’s ridiculous! Mine doesn’t do that with either the fob or digital key. Once I lock it I need to walk a ways away before a proximity unlock. I have a 2026. If you yeet the keys away and use the door lock I assume it stays locked?
I’d bitch at the dealership if mine did that!
