Interesting points.



Your experience has been different thsn other reports regarding the app status. I'm wondering if you might be able to test something else which has been mentioned but doesn't appear in either of the manual versions I've seen so far (if I recall correctly):



Will the car recognize the phone key if the phone's location services are turned off?



I usually leave mine off and wish they'd put a switch in the control panel (since it's always recommended as a battery saving solution) but, then again, they've made the control panel switches less useful in 11 with regard to the antenna behaviors so it's unlikely they'd make a legitimate switch even if they did.



As for the Bluetooth connecting while your in the house, maybe they'll do a geofence option in the car's UI (like home link) rather than rely on the iOS/android APIs. It's a good suggestion.



Thanks!
