I just read a very brief article regarding Apples next iOS update. It might just have a car fob app that will unlock and start cars. I really hope the Wrangler is compatible.

I read that too regarding 13.4 and it sounds like it might along with other NFC vehicles.

How awesome would it be if the app could sit idle, and knowing the location of your parked rig--a service already provided--automatically open then doors, even start the engine?

That would serve FCA right for not making proximity locks purchasable after market: which would have been a win-win for customer and FCA alike.

Who wants happy customers when you can instead nickle and dime them for extras on a $50k purchase?

Yeah I like idea of my Jeep starting in my closed garage every time I get close enough.

Looks like that option is in the works....just waiting on Ultra-wideband technology?

The question still remains on what vehicles it will work with

I’ve never had an issue with size of the fob, then again I don’t have small hands. Hope y’all find a solution for the petite hand folks.
