Today I was unloading my car in the garage and while doing it I left the keyfob at home, at least 30 ft away from the car so it definitely could not sense it. I finished unloading within probably 5 minutes. Then pushed the button and trunk closed, as expected.
Then out of curiosity I pushed the door button and the door opened with no key. I thought the car may need some time to lock, so I tested 10 min later, and it opened again. Now after many hours later the car still can be opened without a keyfob or phone present.
I don't know yet if that is reproducible, but if it's a bug or by design then it's a serious flaw that may leave your car unlocked in public place and you wouldn't even know it.
