Is there an alarm when you unlock the door with a key?

Why does my Remote not unlock my car door?

Simply go to Settings > Vehicle > Remote Lock, Unlock, Start. From here, enable Passive Door Lock. To note, if other electronic devices interfere with the key fob’s signal, the vehicle may not detect the key fob inside the vehicle. If passive locking is enabled, the doors may lock with the key fob inside the vehicle.
