I remember quite sometime ago watching a video about BMW having a guy with his Ph.D. working on various sound "tones". That was all he did. Makes you wonder. Thanks for your input.
No problem, and yeah it would be good to future proof. But in some cases it's risky to think too far ahead because nfc door keys could be a security vulnerability. Even though BMWs are apparently easy to steal since the key frequency can be intercepted.
