Walk away locking

Happy new year everyone!

I just got my RS e-tron GT today, still sorting out a number of things and setting everything up but apparently the walk away locking is not available - which is surprising because it's kind of a basic feature on a car this level.
A quick search on the internet seems to indicate that the feature isn't available at all, but here I am hoping to find a magic solution.

It's minor, but my M8 had it and now it really is hard to remember locking the car manually (with the fob or the sensor on the handle).
Basically all the times I drove someone else's car I left them open because I didn't remember to lock them, being so used to simply walking away and knowing the car would lock itself up. Not keen to have this happen to my RS :|

It only has the unlock when you pull the sorr handle and the auto start when you get in the car
And that's fine, what I'm interested in is the opposite: to have the care lock itself up when I walk away, without having to touch the sensor or use the fob

I think one thing a lot of people now realize is that you should not expect to find on a comparably priced EV all the features typically found on an ICE car in that given price range The battery just very expensive and that has led makers to trim back on the available features. Lesson learned: if you have a feature you really want, read the fine print very closely.
Don't really see the point of this comment to be honest.
I didn't expect the car to have the feature just because, however I've put in each and every option - carbon roof being the only exceptions.
This includes the comfort key / advanced key / whatever it's called, which I expected to enable me to do what I pointed out above.

Also, it's not like I wouldn't have bought the car had I known it wouldn't lock itself up automatically :unsure:
