The CA door handles have a capacitive sensor on a circuit board in the handle that locks/unlocks the door handle. The communication path used when the door handles are physically touched is slightly different than the RF signal’s path when locking/unlocking using the remote fob. That's how the remote can work one way (ie pressing the button on the fob) but not the other way (the capacitive sensors in the door handle)
