I have a family. having to hold my hand on the driver door handle for 3 seconds to unlock ALL the doors was major annoyance to me.

At 5000 mile service they changed to ALL doors unlocking when touching driver door handle without having to hold hand there, but the key fob still requires 2 clicks to unlock all doors

Both of those are right in the car’s settings.

Settings > vehicle customize > door control.

You can turn on two press unlock (or turn it off since that’s what you want), and you can choose under “smart access doors” whether you want all doors to unlock or driver door only to unlock when you touch the handle to unlock.

does the alert still show up on the screen saying that the device is blocked?

No, it doesn’t come out anymore. I would have never thought it would work until I read a comment a guy posted that said, just cover it. At first I thought he was kidding, then decided to try it and it worked!

I'm driving down to Tucson in a bit - I'm going to cover the little CIA camera panel above the steering wheel with electrical tape and see if it shuts up that visual dashboard driver attention reminder for good.

That’ll look good

Thanks, I guess i need to reserve a chunk of time just navigating all system controls within car settings.

I have poked around the manual for specific things but just don’t have the time to read that phone book

I laser cut a kydex block and it freaked out after 15 minutes and I had to remove it. Maybe the vinyl lets enough light through it can still work

That's interesting. Can someone post a pic of the sensor we're talking about? I still haven't seen a GX in person...

did you also turn off the setting in ‘Driver Attention Alert’? Blocking it without turning it off will surely make it go crazy.
