AT Not Going to Sleep-Losing 15% Charge Daily

[lucidtouringman]

Once I started living the FOB life, my Air experience has improved dramatically. The phone as a key proved to be a total fail in my personal experience. I still use the phone app to unlock and so forth, but no more standing in the rain for 23 seconds waiting for things to sync up. The one downside is the FOB is a slippery little thing so I need to source a cover or similar that will give it some grip in my pocket.

Yeah I've been using the fob as well since last two weeks and have the auto open of car handle turned off...I still have the mobile app as a key setup but still use the fob daily and press the handle when wanting to get it..

#fobschmob. Seriously, though, I carry zero other keys and I don't want to carry this one.

I get it..I've lived a fob free life for a year or so and it's great but the PAAK is simply not reliable enough and tarnishes my experience with the car. I'm not sure how your phone+car play so well together but I assure you it's my preferred setup as well to carry as little as possible...sadly not having a fob is a downgrade in experience for me with this car....so I yield to the Fob Gods...I am running the latest Pixel 10Pro phone with all the latest software..

Try disabling auto-unlock for the car. My office is practically next to my garage so it would keep locking and unlocking.

I tend to agree that it appears to be the phone not the car...having said that, I also suspect that Android Auto from the car aggressively tries to connect to the phone so it may be interfering somehow...I'll never know. As of now the widget is updating every so often but not waking the car up. I also did do a reboot of the car last night...the X.mic and brake reset so maybe I just need to remember to do that every 2 weeks or so...Just wish some of this was more scientific and we didn't have to guess this much after 3 years of owning the car...

You know, I think you're on to something! I think there has been an Android Auto update recently because it has also affected my other car that uses a GROM module to add bluetooth functionality (yes, it's an old car). Last night, when my car was charging, AA connected and I couldn't turn it off easily. Normally, the car doesn't connect at this distance. I also noticed, it disconnected my phone from my home internet and connected to the car's local WiFi. This continued until my car finished charging. Then my car went to sleep and AA disconnected.

If you don't use AA, you might consider disabling the AA app and seeing if it solves your problem.

@jbawden hug your car as you approach. Ok no hug, touch the car. Since touching the lucid letters, my car opens as I reach the driver door. Works with kids too. They behave better after hugs. Snickers.

I turned off Bluetooth OF THE CAR ...from the pilot panel...and Voila .. app still updates ..car sleeps...nagging thing is that when driving I have to turn it back on ...I just played with it the last 24hrs and results appear to be reproducible...I'll keep playing with it and report back for posterity...
