iOS 17 having issues with proximity unlock

[connoisseurr]

Interesting.

The fact that some 15s work and some do not, implies that it's not the phone but is Rivian. If it was 15 issue, then it should be consistent with all 15s on iOS17.

Proximity sensor is located in Rivian. So its has to do with the range and when the vehicle is allowed to sense it. In other words, when the vehicle is asleep, it probably does not send any electricity to the sensor. It requires it to be waken; hence need to open the app.

So why has it worked for me? Maybe I need to go away longer and let the vehicle go into a sleep mode before coming back to the car. I have it unlocked in the garage so that's not an issue and I precondition the cabin temperature before going back to the vehicle to open in a parking lot so the vehicle is awake already.

Need to experiment with and without cabin temperature being set after parking...

It’s hard to say what it is TBH. My wife’s iPhone 15 Pro gets near the car and it unlocks rapidly. For my 15 Pro, the only way the truck will unlock is when I take my phone out of my pocket and let the screen wake; the truck unlocks immediately. This doesn’t happen on the wife’s 15 Pro Max; her phone can be in her pocket or bag, and it proximity unlocks for her no problem.

What should I try - my iPhone works flawlessly and my wife's doesn't work at all. Is there ALWAYS on or other things to try?

Leave the app open in the background. Make sure battery savings turned off for the app. I’ve never had an issue after I learned this.
