Digital Key Card Intermittency
For 2 days now my card is failing to open/close the car. It worked in the morning while driving to work but at noon it stops working. I had to use CD lock/unlock. Once inside the car I can still start the car or remote start with the app and drive after placing the card in the charging tray. The temperature outside is 80+ F.
I wonder if the NFC reader by the driver side handle has an issue at elevated temperature. Anybody having the same issue?

I took it out of my wallet and used with its small plastic transparent pouch. When I got home I tried again and it seems the position of the card in the driver's door handle matters. The success rate is better at the middle but still not consistent.
I guess I'd need to bring the key fob for now. CD is consistent so far but the app is too slow to lock/unlock the car.

Center is more consistent but the car is in the garage with the temp cooler than outside. I will have to experiment on this again when I'm out.

I have tried everywhere on the door handle!
Posted this on another thread! What is the sweet spot to get the digital key to work? Seems that I don't always get it to lock or unlock the car. This is a frustration especially when going out on a run and locking the vehicle. I touch it to the oval spot on the drivers door? or take it the the NFC 3 bars ))) on the handle? Touch it to the inside of the handle? Does not always respond. What am I doing wrong? When it does not work I try locking or unlocking with my iphone but there is always an issue there. Extreme lag time or network not available? Is it me or my car? |

The key card has been working consistently for more than 2 weeks now. The key is to place the card at the center face of the handle. My initial thoughts about hot temperature sensitivity is incorrect. Also in my case there's no need to rock the key card back-and-forth and it doesn't have to be taken out of the plastic case.

I wish it was more sensitive, as I leave the card in my wallet. Then, I would be able to just bump my hip near the handle. Unfortunately, I have to pull the card out of my wallet -- so it's more than a hassle.
I just keep in my wallet as there is occasion that I walk out of my office and forget my keys on my desk. Saves a trip back inside. |
