It does work… sporadically… need the phone to be v close to the car and even then it’s hit. And miss

 

[stevelup]

It works flawlessly for me.

PAK is flaky at best. Sometimes I can only get into the car. Sometimes I can only use it to drive. And sometimes I can only use it to open the trunk. Rarely am I able to consistently do all three.

I use KAK and PAP.

 

[SteveLev]

^ mine works although if there’s something else in my pocket, PAK and the keys don’t always work well.

I have never had luck with a foot "swipe" it only ever works for me if I kick forward. Also never tried it without the FOB.

I can't even remember the last time I used my P as an actual P 🤣

If I kick hard enough to bang my shin, it works 🤣

Mine works all the time just with PAK and/or the activity key, you have to kick in and out, not side to side.

I can definitely get mine to work side to side, but it needs to be a big sweeping motion.

Same here

Just to add to this, the two sensor bars are mounted transversely, which is why they instruct an inward kick and not a side-to-side sweep. The PS2 is one of the only cars I've used with this feature that works reliably. Many other cars use a swipe but in my experience the detection is nowhere near as good as the PS2.

Very interesting

When you have the handover in the UK, they advise to sweep, so country by country, as always, the advice differs.

I prefer RAP but by brother is more into hip hop

Well, than the handover guy don't know the car well enough. It's a kick that does the trick.

Yeah I'd say that's a poorly trained Polestar rep. Check the manual:

On my handover I was told to kick straight forward below the "2" of the "72" on my number plate, and it works reliably every time.

 

[TonyJ]

Here also told:
“Stand one metre back from car. Kick straight forward in the middle.. do not sweep and do not touch car”
Works consistently with key in pocket… works intermittently with PAK
