I know that if you grab the passenger door handle it unlocks all, my significant other set it up, so I don't know if there is more settings off of the top of my head.The walk-away auto lock is great. But why is there not walk up auto-unlock too?
I've usually got a bag o my shoulder and dragging a 20 pound c roller case. Being ablr to just walk up and have the door unlock would be nicer than having to stop with my roller case and grab the front door and then get the back door opened.
Is there an auto unlock feature setting I just don't know about?
Don't believe the Insight has walk up auto-unlock. I wonder if you could unlock the door with the keyfob from far away and get to the door in time before it auto locks...The walk-away auto lock is great. But why is there not walk up auto-unlock too?

Walk-up auto-unlock isn't a feature (without grabbing the handle or unlocking via fob). I've been glad it wasn't one, because there are plenty of times I've been near the car or in my garage and it would be nuts to have the car unlock when I walk by without planning to enter.The walk-away auto lock is great.

So that explains the lights always flashing when I wash the car, I missed that part when I read the owners manual.Walk-up auto-unlock isn't a feature (without grabbing the handle or unlocking via fob).

There are different features you can select for door unlock, however. You can find them via the driver's scroll wheel or on the infotainment system under VEHICLE SETTINGS --> "Keyless Access Setup" or "Door Setup."
Under KEYLESS ACCESS SETUP you can choose the 'door unlock' mode to set whether you want just the driver's door OR all doors to unlock when the driver's door handle is grabbed.
Under DOOR SETUP you can choose 'auto door unlock' mode to have all doors unlock when the driver's door opens. And under 'key and remote unlock mode' you can choose whether a first-press of the fob unlocks just the driver's door or all doors.
Like you, I generally am carrying at least a bag or two when I approach my car, and I like to use the driver's side rear seat for storage. For safety reasons, I have my car set to only unlock the driver's door (default) when I grab the driver door handle. However even with this setting, a tip I use (buried in manual on p170) is that ALL DOORS UNLOCK if the passenger's door handle is grabbed.
My car is parked where I see the passenger side door handle first, so I'll just wrap my hand around it to unlock ALL the car doors, then walk around to the other doors I want to access. It might be better to just have all the doors unlock so I don't have to walk around, BUT when I don't have my arms full or am in an unfamiliar area approaching my car, I like knowing that only the driver's door will unlock.
I throw my key fob on the driver's seat when I wash mine. I'll need to open the doors to wipe the sills anyway, so it makes send to leave it unlocked for the duration of the wash.So that explains the lights always flashing when I wash the car, I missed that part when I read the owners manual.
The 'features' that cause the exterior lights to flash are the "Smart Entry Light Flash," the "Smart Entry Beep," (OM19 pg 381) and the "Keyless Lock Answer Back" (OM19 pg 383) which are set "ON" by default. The flashing lights can be turned off if desired, but it won't change how/whether the car physically unlocks while you're washing it.So that explains the lights always flashing when I wash the car, I missed that part when I read the owners manual.
Something so obvious yet I didn't think of this earlier for those times I had to detail the interior of my Insight.I throw my key fob on the driver's seat when I wash mine. I'll need to open the doors to wipe the sills anyway, so it makes send to leave it unlocked for the duration of the wash.
All doors have to be shut while you are still in proximity to the car. Then when you leave the threshold they will lock. The trunk should have no effect on the doors, as it seems to be completely separated from the doors as far as alarms/locking etc...How often does your Insight fail to lock when you walk away? I have not figured out the reason. Seems that if I walk away while others are still getting out of the car, it fails to lock when the last door is closed. Example, we go some place. I get out of the driver's seat and exit the 8 foot radius of my door. Others are still getting out of the car. When the last door closes, no beep, no auto lock. I will walk back up to the car, open a rear door and close it again, then I get the beep. Doors lock when I walk away. I used to think it was causes by me opening the trunk and the passengers doors open before the auto lock, locks. It has happened enough time that I'm not sure what is going on.
Any of you notice it? See a pattern to when it happens?
Technically, the operating range is ~5 feet (vs 8 ft) for the walk-away auto lock/beep function, and there are two-phases to the locking process.How often does your Insight fail to lock when you walk away?

In a sense, it is a walk-up unlock door. The moment you put your hand into the handle, the door unlocks. Do you mean a door that automatically opens for you as you walk up?The walk-away auto lock is great. But why is there not walk up auto-unlock too?

He wants to walk up to the car and have the doors unlocked without having to put his hand under one of the front door handles. Mainly for convenience accessing the rear doors without having to put his hand on the front door saving him a step. Honda could have solved this by putting sensors on the rear door handles but they're too cheap... :wink:In a sense, it is a walk-up unlock door.

I swear that I have not been able to get all 4 doors to unlock when I grab the driver's door handle (as opposed to the front passenger's door handle, which does this by default).Under KEYLESS ACCESS SETUP you can choose the 'door unlock' mode to set whether you want just the driver's door OR all doors to unlock when the driver's door handle is grabbed.
Under DOOR SETUP you can choose 'auto door unlock' mode to have all doors unlock when the driver's door opens. And under 'key and remote unlock mode' you can choose whether a first-press of the fob unlocks just the driver's door or all doors.
The default setting for KEYLESS ACCESS SETUP --> DOOR UNLOCK MODE is "Driver's Door Only."I swear that I have not been able to get all 4 doors to unlock when I grab the driver's door handle (as opposed to the front passenger's door handle, which does this by default).
