I don’t want to jinx it, but so far, it has worked perfectly without need for intervention on the phone or app.

Just tossing this out there for anyone who disabled it because it was pretty terrible before. There is hope!

I echo this. It unlocks 1 second before I reach for the handle, opposed to 2 seconds after on the last version

I wasn't having any trouble with it before (I don't have most of the complicating factors others do), but I've also noticed it unlocks/ locks much quicker now.

Definitely not flawless. The better responsiveness comes at the cost of the truck failing to go to sleep and when it does, constantly wakes up again. This happens in my garage and at my office. Even with the truck set to only lock at home, it's still constantly waking up. The previous release did not do this.

I will give it a try. I just updated today from a iPhone 7. Your 11 does not seem that old to me.

I have proximity turned off completely at home, but it would be worth verifying that it’s not waking up constantly.

Also worth verifying it hasn’t changed that setting on me (as it has done in the past). Thanks for the heads-up - will confirm.

Nothing change for me. It locks after a few seconds when I’m working on the tailgate (while open) but takes a long time to lock when I walk away from the rear.

I won't believe it until Ben Affleck approaches the truck. If it opens I'll install the update...

I like the "Lock only" option but why is it only "at home"? If I don't want proximity unlock for security or other reasons, I would definitely not want it outside my home. Secondly Rivian should allow more than one "home".

I agree. I’d love to set this up for our cabin.

I really like my R1T but I've learned not to run up to it all the time. Problem solved! :)
