Thanks but I don’t think I can access those settings. Only ones I see on the vehicle settings are under driver convenience menu. Nothing there to unlock when in Park. Or unlock when key removed. Must be a default setting.
It is, but on some of the older stuff it can be changed by the dealer with BCM settings and turned on or off by you using the lock/unlock button. Yours is one of them. See DLK-12, bottom of the page:

You’re a top person. Thanks. Since I remembered I had a Carista device. It just now allowed me to change all those setting that you mentioned.

So the previous owner recently sent me the second chipped key and remote key fob. Since they found it after a week of me getting a new key cut and programmed at Ace Hardware.

Surprised to see that the remote key fob still operates my PF. But the key they sent doesn’t work anymore.
I’ve got two programmed chipped keys that work now and three remote fobs that work.

I’m assuming when Ace Hardware programmed the second key with first key being present the one I received from seller got deleted ? Any way to program the key by myself ?

If you had the keys programmed then the old key is simply omitted. Programming erases all old keys that aren't included during the procedure, but unlike most I-keys, RFID steel keys can simply be programmed back in again.

Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense as the third that he mailed me wasn’t present.
