Which i also am made aware of because the digital key in my Apple Watch taps my wrist when the car locks. The power for this activity has to come from somewhere hence the low battery message.
After seeing that message I went for a drive. The car started fine. The message went away after 30 minutes. When I parked tonight I put the car into deep sleep until I figure this out. Now to play with settings to try to stop the unintentional waking without disrupting the convenience of the car locking & unlocking based on proximity. Or get a trickle charger for when the car is parked.

Interesting. I haven’t had much time with my X1 yet, but so far I have to be within 6 feet for the car to unlock itself. I can see how this would be annoying if you have a house with attached garage, since you’d be more likely to trigger the sensors. Thankfully I live in a condo, so I don’t think I’ll run into issues.
