Repeating 'Disable Passenger Lockout' notification on 2025 Equinox

[EquiNotFast]

I've been having this annoying issue with my 2025 Equinox. I keep getting this pop-up that asks, "Do you wish to disable passenger lockout?" I try to dismiss it, but it just won't go away! Has anyone else faced this problem? I'd love to hear any tips on how to make it stop for good. Thanks a bunch!

Oh, that pop-up you're seeing? It's pretty common in the 2025 Equinox, and it's all about the passenger lockout feature in the infotainment system. Most of the time, you can get rid of it by heading to Settings > Vehicle > Power Door Locks and just toggling off the Passenger Lockout. But hey, if that option's not popping up for you, it might be time for a software update. Have you checked for any updates yet?

That persistent error message on it is prolly just a software glitch or a setting that keeps activating on its own. Some reported they did it by going into the vehicle settings under the infotainment system and manually disabling the lockout feature, or as simple as doing a factory reset of the system. If that doesnt work, a software update from the dealer or a quick system reboot should resolve it.

That's super helpful.thanks! Did you find the lockout toggle under Controls and Safety or somewhere else in the settings?

The message seems to be popping up on a few 2025 models usually tied to the infotainment system acting weird or misreading door sensors, try doing a system reset through the settings menu, while others needed a dealer update to squash it for good

I've had this on my 24 Equinox and asked the dealer about it and the tech guys said it cannot be disabled. I think it pops up only once during a drive or when it senses that a passenger is sitting. I'd love to see if someone has found a workaround to this. It's not the most anoying thing, but I'd disable it permanently if possible.
