Get a lightning fob and you can open it with two clicks. Or PaaK and it'll show up in the app. It's direct Bluetooth then, not cellular like the locks so it's instant.
I have a 20 year old VW Beetle with such severe electrical problems that makes basic functions like filling the gas tank and opening the trunk difficult. I'll never buy a car that uses the same technology as the OceanGate Titan to perform basic features. At least I was able to pry the gas lid open. But I have no confidence that modern cars will be able to function with similar issues in 20 years. I'm fact, I'm positive that Ford will start dropping functionality from their apps in 6 years when people still have 2 years left on their car loans
