PU-Sync-25.2.1.6.5 - Walk Away Lock Toggles UPDATE POST# 95

[bmwhitetx]

Interesting. This was happening before I got the WAL BCM update - granted, I park about 8 feet from my couch. But even after the truck is off and I have exited the vehicle, my phone stays connected to the truck’s WiFi. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but I live in an area with no cellular coverage, so my phone is dead to me unless I go into settings and turn off, then turn back on Wi-Fi so it joins my home network. I’m probably the outlier here as most people live in an area with cellular coverage at their home, and generally park more than 8 feet away from their living room.

Weird. I have an iPhone and have a script that runs when CarPlay disconnects (it does my version of WAL). Within seconds of turning off my truck and opening a door, the script executes with a notification that CarPlay disconnected.

I never have to do anything to get the phone to connect to my home WiFi. I wouldn't think having cellular unavailable mattered but maybe it does.

We can't all drive Lariats and Platinums.

I received this update but I can't seem to find the option to turn it on or off. I have checked everywhere. It's supposed to be under the lock menu but it's not there.

FYI, your experience is not because CarPlay “lingers”. Once you open the door with truck off, Sync and CarPlay turn off. It’s not waiting for your phone to pick up another WiFi. What if you were somewhere else with no WiFi?

It’s probably worth noting the conditions WAL needs to lock. Here are the lock conditions from the 2024 online Owners Manual. Note the last bullet:

Walk away lock locks all the doors when all of the following are met:

• The vehicle is off.
• All doors, hood and luggage compartments have been closed and unlocked.
• Any passive key or authorized phone is not inside the vehicle.
• All passive keys or authorized phones leave the approach detection zone of the vehicle or more than two and a half minutes has elapsed after closing the door.

Yours is locking when the last bullet is satisfied.

When it says passive keys it means keyfobs right? Also what is the approach Detection zone? 10 feet?

I just received the same update. Kind of a let down. I have these toggles already and my CarPlay has been working fine. Oh well, at least they haven’t forgotten about my truck!

Does it actually install the WAL toggles?
