I would follow the suggestion from Bunny. The first 2 of your Amazon choices have poor reviews or frequent returns. The PD USB standard is complex.

Bunny: It is possible that one of he car's radars (such as in the side mirrors) may be causing this.

If Bunny has one that is known to work with the R8, I would follow his advice.

pyle112: I looked on Amazon using the term USB C PD trigger cable, and found items like at the link below that had multiple size output plugs. The most important thing you need to specify is the voltage that your device needs. Steve...

Here is my exact order for an Adafruit type 5968 trigger cable that I use in my Air. I think the model number I gave previosuly (and just deleted) was for a different voltage input. Make sure you order for the output voltage you need and that the output plug is compatible (or get a plug...

Yes. Go to amazon and type in USB A or USB C male to female, depending on waht you need. I travel with lots of these. Steve

Adding to my comment above: At the end of this tutorial they list various pre-made cables for sale. You have to know the voltage and plug type your device needs. That is where I bought my cable. There are also several types for sale on Amazon, but I can't vouch for them. On the other hand...

I learned the same thing when adding some gadgets to my Air. Lucid USB C ports apparantly follow the PD standard. You can learn about it here. https://learn.adafruit.com/usb-pd-hacks/things-to-know I bought a USB trigger (also called decoy) cable from Adafruit to solve this problem. Steve K2PBO

Bob: On your loaner AIR, my guess is that you had auto-unlock turned on. In my case that would trigger many times a day as I work in my garage workshop. It would also eat the FOB battery in a month or two.

Amen! I have used work-arounds to make peace with my 2025 Air Pure's locking/unlocking system, but the fact remains that my wife's old Lexus, or my 2010 Infiniti, or the Econocar I rent at the airport works much better.

Great! If correct, you have tremendously helped their debugging!

Me too. I would never use my phone as a key. A working fob is ideal for me.

CR 2477 Battery inside cheap fake leather key case from Amazon. Almost 5 months now. No Faraday bag. Passive unlock off.

I turned my passive unlock off since the first few weeks of owning the car. I got tired of it triggering constantly as I worked in the garage. The door button push method works about 50% of the time. The other 50% works when I push the fob button. I always carry my key card. I never eneble my...

I never ever use my phone. I use my key fob 100% of the time, and have put it in a cheap fake leather case with a larger battery that has now lasted many months. The door handle press method works about 50% of the time. Pressing the key fob button works the other 50%, so I am never locked out...

The trunk mount would have worked well also, but I had other needs for the 12V up front, and did not want to run speaker and conrol cables to the rear. Instead, I had to run 12V and antenna to the rear.

Installation is not that hard. It was easy to run and hide a thick (for the 10A current) 12V cable from the trunk to the front. Steve K2PBO
