Anyone else brave enough to admit to this mistake?

I’m guessing the fob has to be near by? The only touch style handle I have is on a C6 and it sounds totally different but is a pain.

I still don’t understand why GM places a physical button on the door handle. My Current BMW and an old Toyota we used to have both have sensors that sense your hand just bearly touching the door handle, at which point it unlocks.


I’ve had a few cars with this feature and found the BMW system to be the most seem less with the sensors. I’ve also been pushing the button on the door and will have to give this a try.

You have to push the button - it's not a sensor like on the BMW and others.

See I don't have to physically push it. The button sticks out ever so slightly from the handle.
So by placing my hand on the handle it in fact depresses the button as I go to pull it.

That still sounds like physically pushing the button to me

my 15’ Denali doesn’t do that. You have to press the button on the 2015.

Alright.... I'm going to try this when I get home... I've been doing this for a few months on our new Yukon.
