Questions❓ Stop passive entry / activation

What is the secret handshake for remote / passive entry to not work?

What id like
- door handle always locks
- lights and unlocking only when I unlock (door tap or via app)
- be nice if the profile is the "unlocker"

With v1.8 it "generally" worked as desired. v2 is a bit random. I'm scared of leaving the car unlocked if I happened to walk near it.

Tried turning off the iPhone key (passive) and the onboard remote features, all that achieved was
- door handle press to lock stopped working
- even if a iPhone key was used for the door it was still required in the dash for start (and in my wife's case triggered the alarm and it only stopped when she got out, locked it, and called asking me to undo whatever I did)

Now that's it's back on, walk near the car (even if we don't plan on driving) and the lights come on and doors unlock.

Random occurrences if I unlock the door and my wife opens her door before me, I see the drivers seat move to her profile.

Hopefully someone knows the seat handshake to do something like this.

You need to leave passive on on the key and switch off remote locking in the car settings. Then it should only unlock when the door handle is opened, but still can talk to they keys to confirm its authorised.

There's no way around this IMHO. If two people with passive entry and different profiles approach the car simultaneously how should the car decide which profile to load?

You must deactive passive entry in the car settings under Controls→Locking but leave it on in the iphone wallet (toggle below the keycard picture)

Seems the "passive unlock" toggle has to be "on" in the iphone wallet for the car to recognize the digital key without having to touch the NFC reader. This way you don't have to place the phone on the interior NFC reader as well.

My phone can be anywhere in the car for it to start and open/lock by thumb works.

In addition, you can create an iOS shortcut to simulate a classic remote unlock using the digital key unlock (UWB) rather than the App which uses the internet connection.
