How is this possible? Thought you have to have either a phone or the key card in the NFC scanner / wireless charger for the car to start if no key FOB is present.

@puckhead and @VTENGR

I position the wrist that has the watch on close to the tray and that allows starting the engine. I do not need to put the watch on the tray. The only drawback is, and I need to recheck is that it envokes the Guest profile instead of my profile. Whereas, if I am using the iPhone and when it's in the tray, it envokes my profile.

I had to restart the app a couple of times to get it to work. It's pretty neat but it takes forever to start the car and get the 3d camera stuff working. Looking forward to this feature getting polished up though
