your "this is me" signal couldn't actually be a "this is me, fob 123ABC..., and I can authenticate with the vehicle with VIN# 123abc..." You're right, that might be it. the unlock button was on the fob rather than on the car door Let me clarify: the fob does have buttons for lock, unlock, panic, and open trunk. But I don't normally use them. My normal usage is as I described: just walk up with the fob in my pocket, and press the button on the door handle.
