there is a setting for preferred phone. is there a way to set preferred key or profile? one profile is set to the primary one already, and the other is secondary, but that seems to not affect which key is read first. if we have both keys in the car, it's random as to which profile it picks. I have a small faraday bag in my amazon cart, but I'm hoping there's something more elegant than that!

Buy 2 faraday shields - you will especially love it if you need to lock the car and reset the car error codes. Place both keys in two shields to ensure a lock for 15 minutes resets any error codes. It saved us from an error message telling us not to drive our Taycan.

Here are the ones (2 in a package) we ordered for our Macan Turbo Electric:

The smaller version is too small for a Macan Electric key attached to a Porsche fob.
