In the last few months, since at least v10 update, I've been having problems with getting the app to connect with the car.
It almost never connects while I'm sitting in the car. I'll put my phone into airplane mode, then turn airplane mode off, and it will connect then. So I'll drive the car somewhere and get out. Upon return, my phone won't connect automatically again. I have to open the app, and click the start button and then put in my password. Which really gets old if you've put your phone down to charge but then have to pick it back up again to start the car. (I know.....first world problems)
So I figured an easy way to get around this would be to turn on Pin To Drive. So I setup my pin. And the car asked me to enter my pin to drive and it worked.......once. It hasn't done it since. I've rebooted the car. Turned off and back on Pin to Drive. It doesn't work.
Consistently the app doesn't connect and let me start the car as soon as I sit down and Pin To Drive doesn't display on the screen. Then I have to get out of the car, get my wallet out and get my key card out to start the car. By then my wife is like "Come on! This would be easier if you just had a set of keys!" And my kids are freaking out because we aren't going anywhere.
I can put my car in park and jump out to get the mail, with the door open and everything. Once I get back in.....it's the whole thing over again. Try to get Pin To Drive to display (which it never does) and then try to get my phone to connect (which takes forever) so then I get back out and just use my key card, which I hate using.
Has anyone else had this issue? I'm really more concerned with the Pin To Drive. I think the app not connecting could be a phone issue, though I don't have any issues with any thing else with my phone.
