Title says it all, 2026 4 Runner SR5 help fix unlocking rear passenger doors with touch unlocking. When I first bought it I was able to unlock all doors by touch but I think ever since I installed Dongar Pro under the dome lighting for my Wolfbox G900 Tri Pro, it messed up my rear unlocking. Not able to unlock anymore, so is there a fix or by a sequence with the key fob or under settings?...I have also check the settings on my dash but no feature, and I also contact my sells rep and he said it only unlocks by driver side to unlock all doors...Someone please confirm also if they are able to unlock rear passengers door only. Thank you in advance and also for your help.

I just checked my SR5 and it's only the driver's door that opens via touch. Rear hatch too.

I don't recall ever being able to open then other 3 doors by touch

he is talking about grabbing the handle on either front door and unlocking all doors.

if after you installed the dongar you doors no longer all unlock, the worst case scenario you blew out or partially blew out your BCM module (yeah i know M in BCM is module)

heard of numerous issues on the 5th gen when people replaced the overhead lights and shorted out the BCM. people were short circuiting the BCM when they tried to remove the over head lights and grounded the light fixture to the metal reflector using a metal pry device or screw driver.

ill check later today but im fairly positive ive seen this setting where you can choose which door uses touch unlock and what it unlocks. Mine 100% unlocks all 4 doors when i touch driver or passenger so your sales rep is wrong

I'm not sure I exactly understand the question but I really like the automatic unlocking of the back doors when I touch the inside of the drivers (or front passenger) handle. I'll note that I had the dealer adjust the delay time down to minimum (1.5 seconds per manual) but still hated waiting for back doors to unlock. Then suddenly one day - unrelated to any service on the vehicle - it started working for drivers handle like for front passenger handle: all doors unlocked instantly. I've chosen to be happy with the apparently random update and not tried to hard to figure out what happened (but I am curious).

On my 4Runner, when I grab the driver's side door handle, it just opens the driver's door. If I hold the driver's side handle for approximately 3 seconds, it will unlock all doors. If I grab the front passenger door handle it will unlock all the doors. If I touch either the driver's door handle or front passenger door handle, all doors will lock.
