That was my first thought. Several times I've let my cell phone battery get discharged.
Driving with the digital key ONLY
- Thread starter Aomori207
- Start date
The digital key also requires a subscription after the 1 year trial period. Which is lame.
My 1 year subscription just expired and I would not mind paying $15/mo if the feature worked reliably.
In my experience it does not work reliably and/or I have to take my phone out of my pocket and and unlock it and/or have to try and start the car a dozen time for all the computers to talk with each other. At the end of the day it takes me 10X longer than just having the key.
I personally do not have any security concerns using the feature; and i rarely have the battery in my phone low enough to be concerned. It is a great feature if it worked; but for how flaky it is, I have 0% interest in paying for said feature.
