i have scientifically deduced that it's 100% impossible to walk up to my car with my iPhone (16) in my pocket, with latest iOS and latest app.. and have it unlock the car. documented over 45 times in the last 2 weeks, there was not a single time when the car unlocked without having to take the phone out of my pocket and 'looking' at my phone to unlock it... as that happens, the car will unlock. I've tried it with my apple watch off, and same thing. The ONLY time it did open as I was approaching the car.... was when I forgot that the key fob was in my pocket when I was picking my car up from the SC a few weeks ago. I've been documenting ever since.
So now I just look at my phone to unlock the car. (pain in tushy when hands are full and you're screaming to your phone in your pocket "SIRI, UNLOCK MY LUCID" followed by "SIRI OPEN MY LUCID TRUNK". (much enjoyment to the other patrons in the Trader Joes Parking lot wondering why i'm yelling at my pants) Even after unlocking, it may still take about 15 sec to physically unlock with my hand waiting ON the door handle. Feature... or bug? I kinda strike it up to the app or the phone not having BlueTooth active when locked? As soon as I look at my phone to unlock the car.. I see the 'location' carrot become active on my phone, telling me it's alive (assuming that the app is triggering the BT hunt).. it's shortly after that appears, that i see the yellow light blink in the car and the car unlocks.
hoping in any way 'said deducing' can help make it better.
