My biggest wish is a Pet Mode. I would like to take my dogs with me on more trips, even while going to the store. Most stores don't allow dogs into their store so my dogs have to stay home. I would like to have the AC or Heating keep the car at a comfortable temperature and the screen to display a notice to anyone that's concerned about my pets inside that the temperature inside is appropriate for my pets.
Second is that the bugs in PAAK get worked out. I've given my Fob to my wife. I doubt that she has the patience to deal with PAAK issues. I've found that despite what Ford says, I often have to open the app for PAAK to work. That kind of defeats the purpose of PAAK. It then becomes almost as easy to hold the appropriate button to unlock the doors or start the car. I've found that if my phone is in a waist pack that I use while running or hiking, PAAK does not work. The small metal zipper should not be that big of an impediment to proper functioning of PAAK. If it's in my back pocket of my jeans, it sometimes works but only when I'm very close to the car. If it's in a shirt pocket, it usually works. Sometimes it will recognize the phone to let me unlock the doors but as soon as I set the phone down on the charging pad, it says "No Key Detected". If I open the app, the phone is detected. I NEVER use the Fob. I don't have it with me and I'm usually alone in the vehicle. I'm confident that even in the worst case scenario, I can get into the car with my pin and start the car with my password. It seems to me that the blue tooth signal is being interfered with inside the vehicle and the signal outside the vehicle is too weak. Hopefully, an OTA will fix it. I'd like PAAK to be reliable.
Finally, just a note about the car, overall: Love it!
