I recently traded from an older TSX to the ILX. While I had the TLX, I had some warranty work done on it and was given a loaner - a 2017 MDX. I was able to set it up so that if I walked away with the key fob in my pocket, the vehicle would automatically lock the doors. I don't see the same setting on the ILX. The big difference (other than the obvious) is that the MDX had remote start. Do I need remote start for that ability, or is it even possible at all?

I really like this functionality and would love to have it on my car.

 

No. The ILX is using an older generation system. The new Civic has "walk-away" lock but it's using the newest tech.
