In past versions, I had my 2022 R1T set to not use proximity locking when at home. But I noticed since installing the latest patch that it locks itself in my garage (my wife complained because she couldn't unplug my truck to charge her 4xE jeep as the plug was locked in place)
Also today, I was washing the truck outside and 3 times it locked itself and folded the mirrors in, while I was right there with keyfob on belt loop.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

I did try and go into the settings and find the toggle where you could set it to not use proximity lock while at home, but I couldn't find it
🤔

Any help is appreciated!
P.s. Just did a 1,200 mile trip to NC and back with 2.31 total efficiency with mostly highway driving... let's hear it for warmer weather efficiencies!

On my R1s I have it set to proximity lock only at home and it locks and unlocks sooo much. It's really annoying

Past 2 updates my proximity locking has been somewhat unreliable.

Either too aggressive, or not locking when I park somewhere and start walking away. Sometimes it takes an uncomfortable amount of time to lock.

Did you know you can put the car in car wash mode? Tap the car icon (quick controls) in the upper bar of the main screen. Select the toggle bars in the upper right of the new window. Select car wash. Read the info on the screen before turning on because people have freaked out that they've locked themselves out of the car with their phone sitting on the center console. This retracts the handles, but doesn't lock the doors while you douse it with suds. Check out the graphic in your app when you have it on car wash mode too.

For proximity lock settings while at home, go to settings>Access>Proximity Locking>Locking behavior at home. Options are Lock and Unlock, Lock Only, and Off.

Might check to see if your home location is still set properly ...

I had the same issue after updating.

I double triple checked proximity locking was turned off at home.

Either the Rivian app lost GPS connection or the update did. Either way it finally stopped after I locked and unlocked the vehicle from the app.

FWIW, my app was not on 3.0 at the time.

Try rebooting. I have had this happen in the past and a reboot solved it.

Also, try toggling all options on the lock/unlock screen. This works for me whenever the locking behavior is not working right.

A soft reset is helpful sometimes for this issue but not as consistent as toggling the proximity locking and the don’t do at home options.

" I did try and go into the settings and find the toggle where you could set it to not use proximity lock while at home, but I couldn't find it " - Really? It's under "Access" or whatever. There is also a manual. I haven't observed any change in behavior with the recent releases. I'd try both resets first. Or, just turn it off at home.

I have found that my phone itself has played a part in my relationship with my R1T. It seems like the updates can get moody with the cell.

I have two houses and a shop in different locations. You can only have one "home" (even though I have garage doors programmed in for 6 different electric doors and a gate...3 of those doors and the gate all on the "pop up when near" setting)

I hate leaving a door or a gear tunnel door ajar so that I don't get automatic locking when I park outside the 2nd house or the shop...because I'm frequently coming near enough to get that annoying "lock-unlock" routine...or I have my hands full, the phone is asleep, and the Rivian decides to ignore the nearby existence of the PAAK so I have to put something down, fish the phone out of my pocket and wave it under the front door handle's "nose".

VOILA! Enter car wash mode. The bonus is the retracted door handles...so the unlocked Rivian doesn't "look" unlocked.

I "Liked" your comment, only because there is no option for agree, but dislike. Someone needs to create an Emoji option to make such a statement. Hey Webmaster!
