2nd Gen R1S Apple Key behavior at home

[Lester Green]

Has anyone noticed that the proximity key is way too sensistive on the R1S. Said differently, every time I walk near my garage, which my bedroom is partially above, my R1S will unlock or lock. I have been forced to disable at home, otherwise my R1S is locking at unlocking all day long. I was hoping that when Rivian moved to the Apple Key this problem would go away, that has not been the case. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yes. In the proximity locking disable "unlock at home". Then it will lock when you walk away and won't unlock until you press the indent on the driver's handle. If you don't need it to lock then disable both lock and unlock. We both wear Apple Watches and this setup works perfect for us. No more snagging on the handles in the garage and easy to unlock even when we don't have our phones on us.

That's where the poor experience lies. So I disable unlock at home, but then I go to open the passenger door and it won't unlock without using the app/button on my phone. If they can't fix proximity to be more like Tesla where the car unlocks only when right next to it, it would be nice if I could open my passenger doors like the driver door with a simple touch. First world problem, but frustrating none the less.
