Where I live people neither lock their houses or their cars. I used to leave my fob in the center console. If the fob is less than ten feet from the car it will drain the battery in about a week. My truck will not open when I pass my hand over the emblem with the key in my pocket, which is fine by me. Pulling back on both paddles does not put the car in neutral...also fine by me. Years ago I had a 750 Saab GT that could "freewheel", meaning it would coast with clutch disengaged, when you took your foot off the gas. It was scary to drive it with freewheeling engaged.

Same with mine and I have entry and drive, can't figure it out is it a setting somewhere?

Palm down, start at the nose and slowly push it toward the emblem about an inch above the surface. You'll get the hang of it.

I've noticed that I can't open my frunk by passing my hand above the Porsche crest unless I've already unlocked the doors (with the fob in my pocket). Don't know why this is the case, but I've consistently been unable to open the frunk with the doors locked (though with the key fob, I can of course open the frunk even with the doors locked).

I have this feature as part of a package. I'm mixed on it. The "key stub" that remains in the dash is ugly and I forget to give the key to a valet from time to time. So I removed the key stub and insert my key to turn on the engine. All other features work, like unlocking door just by pulling on handle. Using the key instead of the stub for turning on the engine also eliminates my one pet peeves: the frunk no longer opens automatically when washing the car. All in all its a nice feature but if I had to pay separately for the option I would probably skip it.

The video that shows using the crest is 100% wrong.
