Oh yeah no i totally agree there haha. I know how the tech works and why it's actually safer. I just actually hate relying on my phone for everything. I mean it doesnt help that it just doesnt want to pair whenever i try so that alone is dissuading me from using it more.

I'll probably eventually get it to work and will probably use it every now and then. But its just one of those things where if lets say the NFC doesnt want to recognize or if my phone decides to crap out and if i dont have my key then i'm stranded. Which then just makes me take my key, which then defeats the purpose of Digital Key. But i guess its a nice backup in case i lose my key or something.
