Annoying though, I've really enjoyed not having to dig through pockets to open the car :(
- corytheboyd 3y agoDamn, that sounds so much worse. My Tacoma already has keyless for me to worry about, but at least that doesn’t require an internet connection. I know that NFC itself does not require an internet connection, but the whole point of requiring a smartphone at all here is to have an app that millions of people MUST install, to collect data to sell. I won’t at all be surprised when they arbitrarily lock NFC keyless behind a required internet connection. I’m tired boss.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoYou don’t need an extra app to install a car key in your wallet (if on iPhone). Well, for BMW this is the case, I think Tesla uses a separate UWB solution that is app heavy (but your phone is more like fob and NFC tap isn’t necessary).
