Lets get right to it— it’s 2021. Why do I still need to grab my keyfob to get into my car with “keyless entry” when I have a smart watch and smart phone with NFC and such? The new watchOS 8 had a note about expanded “keys for car” or something. I know, at least up until this update, zero Mazda compatibility. Ok, whatever. BMW and Tesla came up for support when searching, but that was the previous version(?).
Tried some different configurations of Boolean search. I very quickly got results in Mandarin, so I’m guessing there’s not too much out there on this topic for “Mazda” with quotes. But I’m also guessing this is still incompatible with my 2021 CX5. Anyone know? Any help here to confirm is appreciated.
Alright, so I work in supply chain and the attitude is often “solve for it”. Let’s take this a step further. They have that comma.ai or whatever system— someone built a piggyback level 2 autonomous system to plug and play on one’s car using the guts of an android phone (please google for a fuller description, I probably fudged a detail). Let’s relate that product idea back to keyless— HOW can I retrofit my car to recognize my watch as a key? I am willing to throw some coin at this and be the Guinea pig/early adopter.
Specific request— maybe hold off on hitting reply if you don’t have something constructive to add or if you simply don’t like Apple. Responses for Android are definitely OK (won’t help me but might help someone else).
