I would not trust the proximity sensing of PAAK. Bluetooth isn't designed to do that. The proximity sensing is likely the cause of 90% of people's PAAK issues (the app getting in to a strange state that requires killing the app and restarting it being a good chunk of the remaining).That shouldn't work unless your phone is within 3 feet of the car door.
Mine never consistently locked on walk-away, so I manually hit the lock button when getting out. My current issue is the car thinking my phone is still in the car when I'm 3+ feet away and honking at me (and disturbing my neighbors if it's late at night). It also seems to get confused when multiple doors are opened and closed depending on the order and proximity of the person with the phone when the last is closed.
There very well could be a PAAK issue here. Either with being in BT range and the car thinking the owner is closer than they are, or with it not actually locking on walk away. It would be nice if the app offered a bit more granularity in options. Such as a disable toggle for unlocking/walk up welcome, only unlocking when the phone is unlocked, and actually displayed the current locked/unlocked status.
