    Correct. The Android version on the Note 9 is too old. I do not blame Lucid for this.

    Another Hopeful NC Noob

    I have a wonderfully working Samsung Note 9. The Lucid software will not work in it. I also am used to the wonderful keyfob performance of my wife's Lexus or an econobox that I rent when traveling. Its hard to step backward.

    True. But you had better learn either or both ways because you cannot trust the battery life! Mine failed after 2 months or so.

    Another Hopeful NC Noob

    You can just hold the card against the pillar. I already had to do this after 2 months. With a dead fob you have to do the following, according to the manual: "Depleted Key Fob Battery.....It is still possible to access the car even if the key fob battery is depleted. Press the driver’s side...

    Beware of FOB battery going dead after a few months. ALWAYS carry card for emergency access. ( I know about fob NFC, but card is easier backup.)

    Actual Key Fob Data

    Can anyone please give me some info of the timing needed to send the short + long signal from the key fob to open the trunk. It would be helpful in the form of short (seconds); space (seconds), long (seconds) We should not have to guess this. Thanks

    Funny! Hopefully it is better than the Lucid's key-fob certification process.

    Actual Key Fob Data

    I wish they would sell us one (perhaps at a discount) that works like those on a cheap rental car.

    Actual Key Fob Data

    Note that it also has a real house key holder instead of a mysterious slot that I was never able to thread anything through. I am now trying to learn sending the letter A in Lucid Morse Code (with tricky timing) so that the trunk will open remotely.

    Actual Key Fob Data

    Thanks Mondo: That explains a lot. Here is my Version 2 keyfob using a CR2477/VCN battery which should provide over 4X the life of the original battery. This uses an $8.95 key case from Amazon, that holds the Lucid fob and battery well. The battery was $4.38 + $6.99 shipping from DigiKey. A...

    Oh Lucid, Oh Lucid, what ails thee? It seems to be Android Auto and the key.

    Actual Key Fob Data

    I somehow have my proximity lock/unlock turned off - I think by a switch on the lower screen. I found the instructions in the manual. I do not have the mobile key on my Samsung Note 9 phone set up, since it is too old to use the Lucid Ap. The only way in/out right now is to HARD push the...

    Actual Key Fob Data

    I decided that I need to keep the keyfob in my pocket every day, just like every other keyfob I ever used, and I don't want to walk around with a Faraday bag. Hence, I am starting to build my much smaller keycase based fob holder. Here is the battery I just ordered - a CR2477. It will have over...

    Thanks. Good info!

    Actual Key Fob Data

    Thanks again Bob. The variabity we are hearing about may also be caused by a change in chip vendors. From the table I posted, different chips have different lives. I also wonder if they lower the advertising rate according to not hearing the mothership. That would be a terrific scheme to...

    Actual Key Fob Data

    I was not able to find the exact protocol, but did find this: "Advertising and discovery BLE devices are detected through a procedure based on broadcasting advertising packets. This is done using 3 separate channels (frequencies), in order to reduce interference. The advertising device sends a...

    Actual Key Fob Data

    B.B. Others have also reported success with the Fraday shield, but in my tests far away from the car fob, battery drain continues above standby at a high pulsed level. I had assumed that the Fob sends out a (battery draining) burst every second or so to see if the mothership responds. That...

    Actual Key Fob Data

    As I have said in the past, in my opinion, the Lucid Air Keyfob is stylish but as poor in any other aspect as one can name, especially including battery life. In an effort to fix mine, I made conversion Model #1 shown in the figures below. It utilizes the original keyfob with an external CR2...

    Same issue, but no big deal.
