I submitted the following yesterday to Customer Care with the subject "Phone Proximity Unlocking/Locking Still Does Not Work.” I haven’t heard back yet, maybe some could also look at their Bluetooth connections and see if it behaves similarly for them:
Car SW Version: 1.2.1
iPhone Lucid app version 1.9.0 (1672)
iPhone software version 15.4 & 15.5 beta
I’ve been waiting for a software fix to make the phone app proximity unlocking/locking work. Currently, this does not work and has not worked for several months. The car was at the Service Center for this several weeks ago and it was supposed to have been fixed, but as soon as the car was back in my hands, it did not work.
Please relay this to the developers, to investigate.
I have tried the following things with no success:
- Remove and reinstall iPhone app
- Delete mobile key from app and car and then link mobile key again
- Try mobile app on two other iPhones
- Pushing on the door handle to unlock the car
If the mobile app is used to unlock the car (which has to have a network connection — it obviously does not use Bluetooth), the car will not drive until a PIN is entered - so much for the facial recognition, which doesn’t work either (but that is another problem report).
I have attached some screenshots of my iPhone's bluetooth status with comments. You can see that a BLE device is detected when getting with range of the car. When viewing the below pictures, keep in mind:
- Lucid Air 929 is the iPhone Bluetooth connection to car.
- Lucid-02929 is the Lucid iPhone app connection to the car.
- S874836c9c98be910C is the Lucid BLE in the car.
Notice below that the BLE connection always comes up when approaching the car. The Lucid iPhone mobile app connection (Lucid-02929) has only connected once - when the mobile app was initially paired. It never shows connected again.
This is the connection state right after linking the mobile app to the car.
This is the connection state after walking very far from the car (>60 feet). For some reason the Lucid-02929 device stays connected, but eventually disconnects (see below)
Walking up to car - Notice only the BLE connection becomes active. Pushing on the door handle does not unlock the car either.
Walking away from car after above walking to the car:
