This isn’t a “bug” per se, but my driveway is immediately outside my bedroom, so anytime the car senses my phone nearby (ie on my nightstand just through the wall), it unlocks and ALL the VERY bright exterior lights come on, which completely lights up my bedroom no matter the time of day (or wee hour of the night). PLEASE add a toggle ASAP where I can select that exterior lights do NOT come on upon unlocking.

Does anyone have a hack in the meantime to avoid this? Guess I could turn the Bluetooth off on my phone before bed, but I like to listen to music (via BT headphone) before bed. And anyway I’ll likely forget to turn it on again in the morning. I just wish the whole car didn’t light up anytime I bring my phone into the bedroom.

This is why I use the fob instead, and store it in a Faraday pouch. You don't want your car unlocking while you are asleep.

Hmmm…that’s a good point, but I don’t normally carry keys with me either, and as noted elsewhere that fob is big and doesn’t fit well in one’s pocket…I’m such a diva!
 
You could turn off passive unlocking for the car. Then it won't unlock and power up unless you press on a door handle (or use the app or pushbutton on the fob).
 
I like the passive unlock when I’m out & about, but that sounds like the move. I looked for a setting like that and didn’t see it. Is it under “Security” maybe? Thanks!

I think it’s under vehicle somewhere.

Big? It’s the thinnest fob of any car I’ve ever owned.
 
I always keep all my car keys in a Faraday box. It will prevent what you are experiencing as well as random people who now cruise neighborhoods cloning keys...
