The remote lock/unlock fob on my Gen 1 Prius has never failed. Not once in seventeen years. The remote lock/unlock fob on my Prius V has never failed, not once in six years. That said, if my neighbor's Toyota fob worked some of the time and not others, if it required her to occasionally take it out of her purse/pocket, to hold it just so, to sidle up to the car crabwise (no back pockets please) in order to get it to do the simple thing of opening up the car or locking it, I would say, I sure am lucky. Not, Toyota's remote access device is terrific.And I don't see it that way since it has worked every time since initial delivery a long time ago for me, my wife and a bunch of other people.
I definitely get that you're experience with it has been fine. I would suggest that you are lucky to have just the right combination of devices along with the smarts to keep them all happy together. Good on you.
But having to always, always carry my phone (which I don't), or wondering Will it? after every SW update, change in phone, app, electronic environment or wardrobe, would drive me bonkers.
