Abstract
A vehicle includes antennas, memory, and processors. The processors are operable to execute a PEPS feature in association with a designated mobile device. Prior to causing the antennas to scan for the designated mobile device, the processors dynamically adjust a maximum number of wireless devices detectable by the antennas based on a total number of wireless devices that are currently wirelessly coupled to the antennas.
