Have you noticed any kind of reaction from your truck when it is off and you approach with your cell phone, but no key/fob? By off, I mean the truck is parked, turned off, and has been sitting there for some time. I have my phone connected to the truck with Bluetooth/Car Play. I assume if the truck is off, approaching the truck (within a few feet, but not touching anything and without my fob), the truck would not respond in anyway. It could just be coincidence, but sometimes I hear it make noises when I approach it. It certainly isn't consistent, so it may be coincidence.

Just read your post, so I went outside with my phone, after the truck has been parked all night locked, without my key fob. The truck did not respond to the phone or me. My truck is a 2024 KR don't know if that makes a difference. I am also connected to Bluetooth and Car Play.

Thank you. That has mostly been my experience as well.

my phone will disconnect Bluetooth to the truck after a few minutes after the truck is turned off
