No lock/unlock on right front passenger side?

[grnamin]

Is the lock/unlock button missing on the right front passenger side door? Driver side has it.

It is fitted to drivers side only. Most cars do not have the feature on both sides. The dummy plate is when the controls are on the correct side as in RHD!

Thank you!

I noticed that as well. I got out of my car last night and my daughter asked if she could wait in the car. I said just lock the door and there was no power lock on that side. I wonder if that could be added without too much trouble? Interested to hear from someone who knows about that sort of thing.

It’s normal most cars have it on the drivers side, some have on the centre console.

Interesting- did not notice that and have never seen a vehicle in the US that omitted door locks on all doors unless there is a central locking button on the dash like BMW's had for years.

No window locks either. Dog kept rolling the back down

Dealer did tell me for the '24 models in US - even if you lock your doors with remote be sure to walk around AND make sure each is locked. Also, be aware that some are opening on their own after locked and checked. He had a couple customers tell him that - with no fix pending or ETA as yet as deliveries have just started.

Interesting, first I’ve heard that.

I checked my 4 Australian registered vehicles. The two Japanese cars have door locks on all doors and window controls (up/down) on all doors but window LOCKS only on drivers door. The two European cars have window controls (up/down)on all doors but no door or window locks on passenger doors. Only driver has LOCK controls on my European cars

Interesting - I dont think I've seen a car in the US like that - certainly not safe for anyone but the driver.

I bet a popular DIY could be a pair of lock/unlock buttons to mount into that dummy plate on the passenger side which just send the appropriate lock/unlock code via OBD2/CAN Bus.

Ha, like I know what I'm talking about! (I do NOT.)

Is it complex to inject a "simple" message like that? Anyways, DIY starts with a dream, don't it?

Jeez I'd rather the locks be manual only if that's the case.

I noticed this morning that when the vehicles locked, if you try to open the rear back 1/4 door when locked, it will act like it's opening and set the alarm off, unlike the other doors, where you push the door handle button to open and nothing happens. Weird.
