Troubleshooting the State Farm Drive Safe & Save Beacon: How to Stop Your Phone from Connecting to Your Partner’s Vehicle

The State Farm Drive Safe & Save beacon has proven to be quite beneficial, allowing me to save significantly on my insurance costs—around $600 annually. This financial relief encouraged my wife to get her own beacon, as we aim to maximize our savings. Given that her car has fantastic fuel efficiency, we often prefer to drive it.

However, this new arrangement has led to a slight hiccup. Whenever we’re in her vehicle, my app consistently registers me as the driver, which requires me to manually change my status to “passenger” every time we ride together. This is both inconvenient and time-consuming.

I’ve attempted a few solutions, such as turning off Bluetooth and waiting to enter the car until after my wife. Unfortunately, these methods have not resolved the problem.

If anyone has experienced similar issues or has tips on how to prevent the State Farm beacon from misidentifying drivers, your insights would be greatly appreciated! This could potentially save others from the same hassle, enhancing our overall experience with the program. Please share your suggestions in the comments!
