PaaK toggle, please

I worked in a place like that once. They provided us little cubbies outside the offices where we could leave our “forbidden devices”. Is that an option, or are you completely banned from bringing any “forbidden devices” on premises, period?

They provide small lockers ... outside, where it was 100F by 2pm today. I park indoors so the phone doesn't reach sizzle temperatures in the car.

If I understand you correctly. Your goal is to leave it in the car. And you want to make sure (1) some one else can't drive it away (2) the car won't refuse to lock or otherwise yell at you.

That's easy to achieve. Turn on flight mode or turn off Bluetooth.

If you're concerned about smart thieves, your options are (1) turn off the phone. I bet PaaK doesn't work until the phone is first unlock after the phone is turned on (2) on many phones, you can require unlock to access Bluetooth/flight mode settings. For example, on iPhone, Settings > TouchID & Passcode > toggle off Control Centre under "Allow access when locked"

I am genuinely embarrassed that I didn't think of option 1.
