welcome to the forum.
the unlock through the phone thing with the other FOB is a joke that has been around here for a long time .
Now shaking the car is a more legitimate possibility , although I have not tried it myself . I never put my FOBs in passive mode , they
that way .
enjoy the ride from this point forward , with both you and the keys are on the same side of the drive's door .
