Airplane mode no longer necessarily disables Bluetooth on many of the latest smartphones.Just turn on airplane mode on phone before leaving in car. Remember to lock the car with rfid card on drivers door when leaving.

Assuming it's similar to how a model S works w/ the fob left inside, the answer is no. If someone walks up and attempts to open the door, the car will query for a fob (phone). If it finds one it will unlock. If you want to leave your phone in the car you need to turn off bluetooth (or turn the phone itself off).Is it possible to just leave the phone in the car with BT on, and lock the car with the card? That will override the phone being in the car with BT on right?

Airplane mode doesn’t turn off Bluetooth for the simple fact that Bluetooth is allowed on airplanes at all times (i.e. Bluetooth headphones).Gads, what is the world coming to?
If it is not disabled, then either turn the phone off and place it in a faraday bag, just to be sure...

Anyone with a completely reliable phone key want to test this for us? I'm quite curious. (I'm sorry, I'm not trying to make this into a phone key bash! Mine is getting better each update, and with some patience...
Also, interestingly, I just tested to see what would happen if I turned off Bluetooth on my phone in the middle of a drive, and then exited the car and left the (disconnected) phone in the car to see if it would auto-lock and lock the phone inside the car. It didn't.
So it appears the car is smart enough to only auto-lock if it detects the paired phone leaving the car, and not auto-lock if it simply loses its Bluetooth connection.
(I also tried repeating this test, but with actually turning the whole phone off rather than just turning bluetooth off. Same result. It did not auto-lock when I exited the car and left the (turned-off) phone inside.)
That's messed up. I'm glad the S doesn't have that. I deliberately leave my phone in the car all the time.
