Follow up - this problem seems to have corrected itself...or it may be the fact that I found that I need to press in on the doors slightly when trying to unlatch them. :)
The unlock function uses two presses, first unlocks front door, second one (right after the first) unlocks the bay doors.
Locking and unlocking the doors (if you have electric lock actuators) is easily adaptable to a wifi connected gadget that lets you lock and unlock the doors with an app on your phone and use voice control if you want.
Makes even more sense! Thanks!
