I understand that Smart Summon is Beta and tends to crash into things, so I don't intend to use that. Therefor this question is considered with plain summon.
When I try to use Summon on my 2018 MS, the app gives back the "key fob not detected" and nothing else happens. I have even replaced the battery in the keyfob, which measured at 3.21V.
If I stay REALLY close to the car, like right next to the driver door handle, then it worked during most of my test. Which of course doesn't make much sense, as if I can stand next to the door, then I don't need summon in the first place.
When I tested, most of the time I was standing approx 1.5m from the back left corner of the car. Then the car gave the "key fob not detected". However from the same position, I can of course open the car with pressing a key on the fob. So I would say it is well within car range.
What is the experience of others? Are there any directions from the car where the coverage is bigger, and can the summon be used in real, simple use cases? (like driving/reversing in/out of a narrow parking space)
Another question: how the user supposed to park with summon? I understand you need to set the car facing straight the parking space. But during normal summon, will the car perform small correction with the steering wheel if needed, or will crash into the neigboring car if you didn't position the car perfectly parallel with the other cars? So basically my question whether plain summon can be trusted (not like Smart Summon)
This is an especially relevant question, as you probably want to use the Summon to park mostly when the place is narrow to start with, so it is not straightforward to aim the car perfectly.
