The speedup you are noticing is probably mostly due to assisted gps, where your phone gets a location using - partial gps information + wifi location + cell tower location all triangulated. Your eg early 2010 car gps unit didn't have any of the addition ways to speed up the location fix

Not a big deal

1) This is optional behaviour. By default when you get the car it’s setup with key cards you need to touch to the drivers side door pillar. You have to manually setup phone proximity if you want

2) you can (and probably should) set up a pin code inside the car too. Proximity unlock, which is very useful, gets you in the car but car can’t be driven away until pin is entered
