Easy Entry and Apple car play issues

[MILucid]

Hello all,

First things first, thank you to everyone on this thread for their robust discussion and tips and tricks, this forum has been extremely helpful for a new lucid owner who was just a quite lurker here. I need to come out of hiding because i need some help with the car, and i was hoping to get some expert advice.

My Background: Sold my Tesla Model S in Dec 2024 and got myself 2025 Lucid Air Touring. (Loving it so far)

Car updates: Things were working well for about 2 months and then all of a sudden i got a call from service saying they are getting an advance warning and the car needs to be serviced for rear drive unit pump not ramping up to speed. My car was towed to Coldwater,MI where they replaced the rear drive unit coolant pump. After the car was returned to me, when i would i sit in the car and press on the brake, the seat wouldn't return to my saved seat settings, the steering wheel would but the seat wouldn't move. When i would exit the vehilce, the seat and steering wheel would return to easy entry position. I called service, mobile lucid technician came out(super nice guy), diagnosed the issue and said it was a 'calibration issue' and that he was able to calibrate it.
The seat and steering wheel worked on entry and exit with easy entry setting but now stopped working again, same issue as above. Seat returns to easy entry position on exit but does not return to my profile seat setting on entry. I called the technician again, and he said that 'they have another car at Coldwater, MI service center with the same issue, and they need to see what the solution is on that car first.' He said they will contact me once 'they have a better idea of what's causing the seat issue'. Anyone had this issue? How did yours get resolved?

Apple Car play: Is it just my car, or everyone has the issue that when you put your car in park and exit, phone continues to be connected to lucid via carplay and the audiobook/music continues to play until you physically hit pause on the phone? Is this a lucid thing? Once you open the door, there is no physical button to turn the car off, is the car expecting you to return and hence keeps Carplay connected? I have mobilekey set up and passive lock/unlock is enabled. Shouldn't apple CarPlay disengage or at least pause audio when you open the driver door to exit the vehicle as it happens in most ICE vehicles with an on/off button?

Thank you all!

Not just you; this is the current behavior.

Is this a lucid thing?

No.

Once you open the door, there is no physical button to turn the car off, is the car expecting you to return and hence keeps Carplay connected?

Yes.

I have mobilekey set up and passive lock/unlock is enabled. Shouldn't apple CarPlay disengage or at least pause audio when you open the driver door to exit the vehicle as it happens in most ICE vehicles with an on/off button?

"Should" it? Don't know; I kinda like that the music keeps playing while my wife is in the car, even if I've opened the door to grab the mail from the mailbox

Once you *lock* the car, though, it disconnects immediately. So if you'd like it to disengage, at least for now, just push the door handle in or lock it with the fob once you've left the car.

Now, should the car pause *all* audio when a door is opened? Maybe; I'd love it if that were the option, but I'd also want the current behavior as an option.

Thank you @borski i will request 'pause all' audio option upon opening a door via lucid feedback! Hopefully someone has a solution to the seat issue or i will patiently wait for clearwater, MI to come up with a solution.
