Use Phone as key new option on android app

[Linmad]

I update android MG app and now I have the option to use the phone as a key for the cyberster but I cannot connect. Did you also get this option? Could you make it work?

I hadn't tried it until now, I just tried it and it worked perfectly for me, with the app I opened the doors, I also have an Android phone

It works just fine on my ZS EV. Wiith the car bound to the phone I use the open padlock icon on the app to open the doors .
When you are inside I press the keyless start & it should work. The first time you need to put the phone in the middle of the steering wheel.

That's great news. Can you open the door with the button on the door, if you just have your phone in your pocket (bluetooth on, app not open)?

You need to use you phone and press the relevant icon on the app to lock & unlock

But did you get to start the car and drive without the key?

You can lock and unlock, but what is not working for me is to start the car. The other I could do it before

Yes the car runs. Maybe that is a Zv thing vs cyberster

Why not just open by hand with the key in your pocket ?

What if you lose your key when out?

I agree it isn't a day to day thing but a nice back up

And what if your phone battery's flat when you lose your key ?

Is it not just easier, to open the door, with the little button on the door handle. Can't be much simpler than that. Instead of trying to over complicate things.

What we need is a key and a lock.
