I have a Pixel 9 Pro. But I also have a Gen1 R1S, so not sure if UWB matters or not.

Cursory google searching seems to indicate wristband is no longer available. I don't wear a smart watch. I could be convinced to wear one, but it would have to be android since I don't use an iphone. But I'm curious - how does WaaKey actually help in the "at home with proximity-unlocking OFF"...

Agreed, but if I'm already resigned to carrying the fob anyway(due to problems with proximity-unlock set to OFF at home), then paak is fairly pointless.

I have a Gen1. So yeah, I can't take advantage of those things you describe are present on Gen2 vehicles. But at least Gen1 comes with a FOB, so I can use that. Digging out the fob from my pocket and pressing it's button seems less cumbersome than pulling out the phone and fumbling to...

Not trying to be dismissive, I've just refined my complaint since my original post, which admittedly was a bit of an incoherent rant. My complaint now boils down to - it's absurd that on a $90k vehicle I should ever have to take a phone/fob/keycard out of my pocket to gain access to the...

I'd propose that someone pressing the frunk/liftgate button with a phone that's close enough such that the frunk/liftgate open - treat that absolutely indenticaly to how you treat the person pushing the unlock button in the app. You have a lot of follow on questions, and I think the answer to...

But apparently not the charge port. It would be way too big of a security concern to allow someone who has access to the frunk and liftgate to also be able to open the charge port And of course it's a huge security concern to allow someone who can open the frunk/liftgage to be allowed to open...

Just went out to my car in the driveway at home. Proximity locking is off at home as previously described because if I leave it on my car constantly unlocks itself. Phone is in my pocket, and I: 1. Can open the frunk by pressing the button on the front of the vehicle 2. Can open the liftgate...

I'm not sure you've understood what's being discussed here The entire discussion is about unlocking the car when proximity unlocking is disabled. Datapoints about how well PaaK works when proximity unlock is enabled are mostly irrelevant to the discussion.

I think I've seen the same thing, but couldn't remember it definitively, so didn't want to mention it. IMHO, it is completely unacceptable for a vehicle in 2025 to take a minute to respond to a fob keypress when the fob is in range of the vehicle.

Proximity-unlock works pretty well everywhere else. Not 100%, but works enough for me not to have a big complaint about it. It's only at home where proximity-unlock needs to be disabled(because leaving it enabled would create constant unlocks due to being close inside the house) that these...

Good to know. That works when you're at home with proximity-unlocking set to OFF WHILE AT HOME?

Yeah, that was a long time ago though. Things change. I can't remember any other car I've driven(owned, or even airport rental cars) in the past 10 years where I've ever had to pull something(phone, fob) out of my pocket to unlock, start the car, or lock the car. This is a solved problem, and...

I tend to think it's not the PaaK that's the problem here, since the car is detecting that something is present enough that it will allow me to open the frunk/liftgate.

I have similar suspicions. I don't let the car connect to my home wifi because I know that the driveway is on the edge of the connectivity zone. But my phone is connected to the home wifi, and I guess when I'm in the driveway it could be the phone that no longer has an internet connection...

I'll have to give the FOB a try again. With proximity-unlock disabled at home, do you need to pull the FOB out of your pocket and press the unlock button(once, twice?)? Or does just approaching the vehicle with the FOB in your pocket cause it to unlock the door handles?

I've never owned a vehicle before my gen1 R1S that was so maddening to unlock, particularly at home. At home my gen1 R1S is parked in the driveway, and I regularly am in a part of the house near the driveway which means that if I leave proximity unlock ON at home then it constantly unlocks...

It's not showing up there for me either. But to be honest, I never knew it was there in the first place. The android chat that has the obscured text entry field I was talking about is in the service request portion of the app. Since it's the only real way to get in contact with the folks...

I have the same problem with the android app keyboard covering the input area. Very frustrating trying to type out a multiple sentence message.

They may have some loaners, but I'm in an enterprise rental for over 2 weeks now. I understand service is a pain point right now, but Rivian is giving themselves a self inflicted wound. There's no way a handful of cosmetic repairs, 90% of which are farmed out to a subcontractor, should take >2...
