Customer Suggestion - Warning that you've left your phone in the car.

[DDHRocks]

I was wondering what people thought of this idea and I thought we could run it by some of the dealers/reps on the Forum for feedback.

I'd like the car to have an audible warning when you've left your phone in the holster charger between the seats. I've probably left my phone in the car 10 times by accident and I've only driven it for a couple months. The last time was when I was dropping the car off for PPF and I had already put the key in the dropbox...

I'd want it to react the same way it does when you leave your keys in the car, give an audible warning that can be disabled in the settings.

I personally don’t use the wireless charger as it’s in an inconvenient location.

 

[DDHRocks]

It's convenient that it charges your phone and has an out-of-the-way spot for it. It's not convenient for remembering where the damn thing is.

I use Android Auto, so I don't need to see the phone at all when it's in the car.

Tether it to your wrist. GM would add another G note to the base price plus Lux Tax and everyone would know it was because of you...

 

[canadianvetster]

I could get behind that…

 

[canadianvetster]

The audible reminder… not the tether

Pony up the coin and we can make it happen. My buddy is tight with Marissa West...

It doesn't really add any cost. The holster already knows when you leave your phone in it. It displays a warning on the dash. You just need to link that to the same action that the car carries out when you leave your keys in the car.

There is a Board meeting in Detroit right now, I can hear them laughing at you...

 

[DDHRocks]

Jack no! I'm sure they'll freely add new features without expecting a price increase. Think of the improvement to customer satisfaction!

I'm quite sure they rate customer satisfaction well above profitability.

Right?...

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

They can't even register new cars right now because of this recall fiasco lol. There are no profits this year end of 2nd Quarter from this Division...

GM prob put it there for that exact reason

 

[Brett Driver]

My Audi and BMW both have it, we call it my second wife nagging not to leave my phone in the car LOL.

 

[Murray20c8]

I don't use it either and my phone is charged every night and never runs out during the day.

Pretty sure my Hyundai does this

Sorry. The C8 Idiot Proofing sub forum has no more room...

I suppose you could also charge it with the USB port in the center console. Also easier to get at .

Tie a string around your finger. When you get out, you will ask yourself
"why is the string around my finger"
Oh yeah, take my phone!!
