Default Door handle upgrade?

I have a 2021 Sport model. Is it possible to add the door handles with the button that allow you to unlock the doors without pulling the fob out?

I would imagine that would require a lot of parts a re-wiring...

That would be an interesting upgrade if possible. I have a 2023 2.5S base model and love it but that is the one and only option I would want.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't add them, you would just need all the parts.
Though I'm not certain if the wiring for them is in "all" doors or you would need to add that as well.
You would need to determine that before proceeding.

If you attempt it, please let the forum know. I would think it to be a costly venture as the handles are linked to the keys to allow the button to work. Not sure how one would accomplish it without linked keys.

Good point, I have no idea. Thanks for pointing that out.
