Bluetooth Proximity Connections Disappeared!

I believe this occurred after the new update but my iPhone does not instantly unlock my car anymore. I will have to wake it up before opening the door lever or else i'll be standing there looking like an idiot! It worked flawlessly before....

I don't know what they're really called but my iPhone used to connect to four bluetooth connections simultaneously when approaching the car and now it only connects to one, connection C. My friend's car has 4 connected when we're near the car. This might or might not be the issue but something I happen to notice...

I've tried hard reboots and reconnecting my phone as the key but nothing helps. Anyone have unlocking issues after 2019.24.4?

I'd remove any connection between iPhone and car. Then reboot iPhone and also reboot car, then reconnect.

From another recent thread, there's some great advice on the procedures to follow to disconnect and reconnect, go to Post #10:

to "xa1200", yes this happened to us as well. Have to wake the app on the phone in order for it to reconnect to the car and have it unlock. Used to work automatically and seamlessly. Now we have to make sure the app is running, so there's a delay. Geez, why did they do that?? My wife is really annoyed!

That's not right. If things are running right, you don't need the app to be running. You need to reset everything as well. If it used to work, it should still work. Nothing's been changed. It just needs resetting.
