Hi all,

I was thinking about what would happen if an iPhone that is paired as a key, and for media playback/phone had it's name changed. For instance if the name of the iPhone was Gary's iPhone and it was then changed to Jim, would that impact the interaction between the car and the phone so that the phone couldn't be used as a key or attach to play media?

Is anyone willing to test this?

Thanks.
Just tested this. The only difference was the phone name changed on the display, but other than that it didn't have any problems, car connected normally and I could use the app just fine. No request for a reset/repair.
