Whatever you do, don't do this.... ( take it away 😉 )

.... set your phone up as a digital key then leave it in the car when charging and just nipping in services etc for a quick wee.... half way through suddenly realised what I'd done!!

But did you lock the car and have a physical key with you? If so, I don’t understand why this would be an issue.

Yes I did which is why I thought it was all good. When we got back to the car I stayed a suitable distance away and asked my wife to try opening the door. She didn't have a key. It unlocked... although to be fair the alarm went off and the car emailed me to let me know bad things were occurring. However, you never know
I shall not be leaving my phone in the car whilst I'm not there again. All part of the steep learning curve ( apparently)

Ah, I see the issue
Thank you for enlightening me!!!

Hmm. It used to be that you had to physically select the DK in the app to be able to unlock the doors - it didn't just work by proximity (from what I recall).

I'll give it a go again, maybe something else going on, hence the alarm & email... I know there's the lock/unlock buttons on the screen but couldn't think of any other reason...
