    RESOLVED Android Auto Thursday

    Very true! But I will have a larger screen, a better touch experience, and a better music player.

    RESOLVED Android Auto Thursday

    I'm getting closer. I discovered that the 11 inch android tablet fit well into the glove box, and looked much sleeker, so I ditched the articulated cupholder tablet mount. This has the avantage of being able to close the center cover so that its the tablet is not such an obvious thing to steal...

    USB C Ports Acting Strange

    Duncan: You have several options: 1 - If you are handy in checking the needed voltage, connector type and polarity, you can use the decoy cable approach that I mentioned. 2- You can buy a 12 V extension cable on Amazon and run it from the trunk to the front via the ski hole in the back seat...

    USB C Ports Acting Strange

    Duncan: It turns out that USB power protocols have become quite robust, but complex, with the user having to request a voltage from the sender supply. There are many USB decoy or trigger boards available to do this. Unless you are handy with working or soldering to small devices, the method I...

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    Thanks: Then we should be able to have the following service with Lucid's OK: Send you fob to lucid or the manufacturer and pay a resaonable fee. The manufacturer or Lucid return the original Fob PLUS a new fob with buttons. Voila

    RESOLVED Android Auto Thursday

    I have decided not to wait, and taken AA into my own hands. I decided that what I really wanted NOW was : 1- Access to waze, including voice directions through the car sound system; 2 - A good Music Player that played all 2500 pieces of my music through the car sound sytem, 3 - A responsive...

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    Thanks. I'm still curious about how the phone acquires the security token, and if another device can be designed by another vendor (with a lttle API help from Lucid) to acquire it in the same way.

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    Thanks much. If that is correct, it leads to several thoughts: The API rquests to Lucid's cloud are a likely source of delay. If the non lucid phone ues BLE to the car, it must have some security token it got from somewhere when the lucid ap was first set up. If that is correct, then another...

    Confirmed Android auto coming before September 2025

    I know how to bring about world peace! Just replace the firing keys at US, Chinese and Russian missle control centers with Lucid key fobs.

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    I know that. But how does a virgin phone not made by lucid get to open the car? By what mechanism does , it acquire the needed security key? For example: A - Does it use its BLE to communicate with the cars's BLE or B - Does it use its cell transmitter to call Lucid central and Lucid central...

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    segbrk: Here is a a dumb question: When a smarphone has been programmed using the Lucid Ap to open/close the car, does the keyfob have to remain nearby, or does the phone AP inherit the security key from the Fob? If the answer is yes, then the phone ap has cloned the fob! That spells hope that...

    June 7th nation wide event

    300 people waiting around an Air demo waiting for the staff to figure out how to unlock it.

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    Thanks - not surprised. I wonder if enough of us communicated with the key fob vendor that they might have a plan for a new product or retrofit that would help us. I wrote to them once, but never got an answer.

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    Thanks much!! Does nRF permit you to see the bit sequence sent for open/close and trunk?

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    Is the card NFC? Does the FOB also use NFC for those who say you can rub it on the B pillar? Thanks

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    Thanks for the more accurate equation and the nRF info. I think Nordic is one of their chip vendors. In a post a few months ago I think I found the Fob maker.

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    I have heard that the AIR uses BLE. - see frquencies below. It is unfortunate that we have so little (none) official info from Lucid. Someone with a Spectrmu Analyzer should check this. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) utilizes 40 channels within the 2.4 GHz band, each...

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    For decades, key fobs with buttons have worked perfectly for me on cheap rental cars, and my other cars. ONLY the Lucid's keyfob is flakey. I can understand a poor Lucid design decision, and perhaps a companion contract, as some rumor. I can not understand the lack of communication and...

    Lucid Air's Number One Software Issue?

    It is true that the reliability of Lucid's unlocking system is inversely proportional to the number of people watching.
