Wow this thread has gone way off topic
Anyway, I've now had the new iPhone app installed for 24 hours, and can report that key functionality has been 100% better. It recognizes me each time I walk up to the car, and even passed the Costco test today (for some reason, it never used to work at Costco especially if people were watching me walk up to my car, only to find it wouldn't unlock for me). Today it unlocked immediately. Also, I'm noticing that it no longer unlocks and locks like crazy when I'm in the home office next to the garage. They have definitely made some big changes that work nicely with the iPhone 18 pro.
Of course, your mileage may vary.... and since it's Lucid, this may completely stop working tomorrow.
