Thanks. But I don’t have a smart watch.

Lock chime is the current work around. If u don’t hear yr lock chime, odds are u left phone inside car.

TIL, if I lock my phone in the car on purpose (using the keycard), so, for example, my phone can keep charging, my car is still not really locked. If I wish to do that, turning off Bluetooth solves the 'problem' of the doors opening if anyone tries them.

I leave my phone in the car all the time by accident (black phone on black charging pad is not a visible reminder.) I solve that issue two ways:

1. Pin to drive so anyone getting in the car can't take it unless they know they can start the car via the app on my phone. If I leave my phone in the car by accident, in theory all that gets stolen in the phone.

2. Honk on walkaway lock. And while I apparently have been unable to train myself to take the phone when I leave, I have trained myself to listen and if I don't hear the honk, I check to make sure my phone is with me and lock the car with the app.

Yup that’s it and now u can customize yr lock sounds to anything.

When the post you quoted was written, that was not an option.

No, but beeping the horn was always an option.

OP said he did not like the beep of the horn. Personally I just keep my phone in my pocket. I never seem to need to charge it in the car. Am I weird that way?

For short trips? No
For long trips? Yes

On long trips I'm not using my phone in the car unless a call comes in so the charge will last all day. I then charge at the hotel or destination. Phone stays in my pocket.
