It was a shot. When I bought mine, I had the driver rear door with the child lock on and didn't know till the MIL was back there trying to get out. Had to flip it off (the door, not the MIL...). Good luck with the issue.

well no ota for me overseas. No wifi at home as car is too far away from wifi. I tried scheduling at airbnb but signal was low and it didn't update. I’ll try tomorrow at the hotel wifi I'm staying and schedule it. Since I can’t do usb stick like pas vehicles for free…

A software update won't add sensors to the rear door handles lol

What? Is that in the manual? I never heard it before and the back door locking is a frequent complaint. I'll try two pulls next time. It's counterintuitive.

I tried the double pull. Works on the driver's side rear but not the passenger side. Tried it with the child lock in both positions

Thought the sensors might be present (rear handles look no differently from the front ones), so a potential electronic module issue, lol.

Absolutely in the manual.

Per the manual, double pulling has been necessary, and works, on both sides in my truck.

Yep, it's a fact I didn't know about. Page 85 of the manual. Even if you have Autounlock it takes one pull to unlock the rear door and another to open it. Autounlock only works when the driver opens his door within 10 minutes of shutting off the truck. Thanks Tom

Default Latest update to me 21281_PRODUCT rev. 244

My interface is super crazy lately. I've attached the home screen and update page for reference.

Have done reset from interface (both at the unit, and from steering wheel controls). Master reset. Disconnect battery for extended time. Each time I have tested once again with similar results. There is a lot of overlapping text and what not in various menus. Unable to view the user manual now. It also tells me there is no update available when checking on wifi.

This is more informational as to provide reference to others.
