If I unlock the car using Bluetooth on my phone, can I still start the car if I turn off Bluetooth?

Official answer

No. Using phone Bluetooth unlocking, including pull-to-unlock, proximity auto-unlock, and leave-to-auto-lock, all require communication between the phone and the vehicle via Bluetooth. If you turn off Bluetooth on your phone, you will not be able to use the phone Bluetooth key normally.

Therefore, when using the phone Bluetooth key, you must keep Bluetooth enabled on your phone. Additionally, due to memory limitations and performance strategies of various phone brands, the Xiaomi Auto APP process may be terminated by the system, leading to unlocking failures. If you encounter issues with unlocking or locking via the phone Bluetooth key, please ensure that the Xiaomi Auto APP is running in the foreground or background.
