Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
It's just happy to see you.
It's worse than that...it's actually waking up when the taillights flash. I walked out to the garage with proximity off for my phone, on for the fob, with only my phone on me. The taillights flashed and then I heard my radar detector turning on. While it didn't unlock, it also shouldn't be waking up.
It's waking up because otherwise you're gonna sit there like a moron waiting for it to wake and unlock hitting the keyfob button over and over if it didn't. I'd be interested to know which thing people would prefer, Rivian obviously chose for it to be as responsive as possible at the expense of using extraneous energy.
Are you observing the truck waking when it isn't responsive? The process takes several seconds and it doesn't always start early enough.
Too bad the truck still isn't responsive.
My problem is the truck in the garage is close enough to several places in the house that I frequent. That results in the truck staying awake or waking up more often than it should and wasting electricity.
What type of phone do you have? I usually don't wait at all, but when it is slow it's only 5 - 10 seconds. iPhone 13. It seems like Rivian is not focused on Android at all, so I am just curious.
I have this issue as well, but I have noticed that once it goes fully to sleep it is much less likely to wake up when I just walk nearby. I have to be near it a little longer for it to wake up vs. it waking up constantly when it was recently used. Or maybe I am crazy - also possible.

Maybe the inconsistency is why it’s a difficult problem for Rivian to solve? I rarely have issues and typically wait no more than a few seconds for it to unlock. When I do have an issue all I need to do is wake my phone and it immediately unlocks.
I helped a kid move last night....Paak drove me up a wall....constantly locking and unlocking as I am loading the bed....
Yup...I was playing off-road this weekend and the constant locking/unlocking and associated delays when you actually wanted it to unlock was the last straw. I finally started carrying the fob after that. So far it seems slightly more reliable/faster than proximity PaaK.
I can't turn off bluetooth. My watch needs bluetooth to be active... And if I'm doing work outside (such as landscaping) I usually want to wear headphones which also require bluetooth.
