Well, I guess that effort of taking my phone out of my pocket is wasted effort......well, not really as I stick it in the cupholder or charger almost every time. Still, just means that MK is inconsistent, at best.
The keys need to be in separate bags just FYI
And this gets to the heart of the matter. Phone's Bluetooth implementations change from generation to generation, across their hardware, firmware, drivers and software. Heck, the Bluetooth SIG changes the standard every few years. Asking a Lucid-style startup company to verify all the combinations is a daunting task. Apple does (IMHO) the best job of maintaining functional consistency over the years and models, but they're not faultless. Android users don't have that luxury across all the brands it's installed on, so It's especially unfair to ask them to rely on their phone as the primary way to get into the car. And then there's the choices of Bluetooth modules that Lucid installs in the fobs and the car. If they have multiple sources for parts depending on what they can get delivered today, that's another layer of uncertainty. Yes, it will improve over time, but it's very unlikely it will ever be as consistently reliable as a simple, dedicated, purpose built fob system. There are orders of magnitude more complexity going the Bluetooth route. It's a nice to have, but shouldn't be a need to have.
Yep ... spare key is in its own bag (got a 2 pack from Amazon) and inside a metal tin that I use to keep all my "extra" keys. The main key is in a bag in my kitchen about 30' away from the vehicle. I have confirmed that the keys are in the correct pouch of the bag by standing next to the car with the fob in the bag. Only when I remove the key from the pouch does the vehicle wake up. The vehicle also does not respond to fob presses while the fob is inside the bag, so I'd say that the bags are doing their job!
This has been described numerous times in the past. Please check the wish list on www.lucidupdates.com for this and other items. Meanwhile, ditch the fob and use mobile key.
Thanks, but the settings on that list don’t include what I’m suggesting. I think you should be able to temporarily disengage proximity sensing with a simple fob click to lock until it is clicked again. That way it should work most of the time, but if you find yourself in a situation where it isn’t working, like having a conversation 20 feet from the car, you can disable it with a simple click. There’s no reason to click to lock unless the proximity process isn’t working, so a click should indicate an override.
They should just switch to natural language commands entered as Morse codeConsidering the fob already combinations of short and long clicks for lock/unlock/frunk/trunk, there wouldn't be a 'simple' click to disable the proximity.
Maybe short-short-short long-long-long short-short-short?
If someone parks right next to me so I can't get back into my car, I can use my fob to start the car and back it out. How would I do that without a fob?
With the app.
I find that it sort of does this. If you're standing next to the car, and it's doing the lock-unlock dance, you can press the fob to lock once and it just won't do it again for at least 30mins.
That is my phone as well. But my mobile key doesn't work at all. I usually have the fob and phone with me, but yesterday I left the fob in the house and tried to get the mobile key to work. It's set up correctly in the car, paired, bluetooth on. I deleted it and re-added it, even updated all the phone settings with the info on the lucidownwers.com faq. The car has no response to it. My fob works 100% of the time and it's buried in the bottom of my pocketbook, so carrying it isn't a problem.
Next time we meet, let's trouble shoot it
That'd be great. Thanks!
That could be a problem. I work in the garage a lot too, and have bluetooth on for music. It hasn't been an issue, but I guess it wasn't seeing the mobile key. I think you can turn off bluetooth just for the Lucid, which should prevent the car from waking up.
