Face ID In Car - Problems Unlocking?

[nevets88]

My car setup - the phone holder is in a place that the steering wheel blocks the camera so have to take the phone out and put it in front of me to unlock. Can’t find another place to put it. How do you set up your phone in the car so you can easily unlock with Face ID?

My phone is mounted to a magnetic thingy that sticks onto my windshield above the infotainment screen. I have to lean in a few inches for FaceID to work, but it gets the job done. Would be nice if the mounting arm was a bit longer I guess.

There is a setting to mitigate the Face ID recognition, require attention or something like that. It's less secure. I tried it, but still not trivial to get it to work in the car.
