Android 13 phone key works for me

After a month of my intentionally delaying updating my Pixel 6a to Android 13 due to the reports on this forum that 13 messes up use of the phone key, my phone updated itself when my finger slipped. However, there seems to have been no effect on my ability to use my phone as a key, either on my 2018 model 3 or my wife's 2021 model Y.

I wish I could give advice to those still having problems using the phone key with 13, but I did nothing special; I did not even have to re-connect the phone key to the cars.

Android Build number TP1A.221005.003
 
This Jan 2023 Android 13 update sounds positive:
"
Bluetooth
  • Fix for issue occasionally preventing certain Bluetooth Low Energy devices or accessories from pairing or reconnecting
"

This is the update needed, but fold 4 under Verizon means I'll be waiting a long time for both Samsung and Verizon to push it through.. pixel devices already got it which is why the other poster didn't experience any problems.
