If you do a Phone as a Key reset in your vehicle, uninstall and reinstall your app, and go through PaaK setup again, do you still see the issue?

Yes I do, I’m waiting on a call back from Ford on my case. They had me do all the things

I’ve done it multiple times and still have the issue

Perhaps an additional Problem on the PAAK- maybe sheds some light on your issues.

Mach-E 2021 Select
PAAK working fine - close to 100% ( Feb thru June)

Then the Safety Recall 22S41
After that recall (Dealer applied not OTA) No PAAK my previous key was gone
and the PAAK set up does the following failure:

Starts out fine
Get the temporary code
Hit the continue button and the spinning wheel
After 15 to 20 seconds I get e-mail and a Ford Pass message that a "Phone as a Key has been created"
But the spinner keeps spinning and then days "Failed"
No Bluetooth connection established on iPhone <VIN 5digits>-MachE
So the PAAK server in the sky thinks everything has gone well but there is no working PAAK on my iPhone

Several days of trying all sorts of things to no avail
Until Ford Dealer learns there is a Hardware RECALL and a chip is on order
Turns out that the Software (22S41) update somehow is linked to this failure
The dealer has the part ( one small chip) on order

Trying to get hold of Official Ford documentation or "Recall Number"

I have completely lost my ability to charge my car to only 90% now. It default charges immediately and only to 100% with no way of changing it. When I edit my charge preferences there are no locations I can update to even set a time or charge limit. What the hell is wrong with these app developers? Now I have to set a schedule on my Wallbox and calculate how much charge time is needed to get me to 90% then turn off charging to the car since my Ford Pass App defaults to charge anytime it is plugged in. Why should I have to use crude math to figure out how long to charge for on a $70k vehicle to prolong battery life????

This happened to me right out of the box and it was a sobdmc module replacement that fixed it. Since yours was working and now it is not maybe not the case for you. You may need to go to another charging station and then come back home and plug it in there for it to repopulate again. Delete your home go DCFC for 10 minutes somewhere else then come back, plug in and see if it resets and repopulates your home then try setting home up again?

4.17 Android definitely has issues.

Today, I spent an hour on the phone with FordPass. Wife's iphone is fixed and working, iPhone version is 4.17.1. My Pixel 6, version 4.17.0 does not work.

How did they fix it?

Then new app, 4.17.1 for the iPhone worked. We, Ford rep and I, cleared the phone and started from the beginning. We did a complete reset. The same process would not work for the Pixel 6. Ford needs to create a new app for the Android based phones. I hope that answers your question. Honestly, I just followed her step by step directions.

The Pixel phones seem to have more trouble with PaaK. It works very well on my Samsung. @macchiaz-o did you ever get your Pixel sorted out?

I don't think I've had any Pixel-specific issues with FordPass. Mine works just as well as it does for other Android users in general. In other words, it's okay, some things work.

Not a FordPass issue, but with my Pixel 6, I just can't reliably use wireless charging in the vehicle. That barely ever works for more than a couple minutes in summer even without Android Auto running, or more than 20-30 minutes in winter with AA running.

Also not a FordPass issue, but I can barely ever successfully connect and read data off of the Ford Connected Charge Station via the Charge Station Setup app (which uses Bluetooth not WiFi).

So did you actually delete it from the phone or just shoot it with the Sig

Your first observation made me laugh. Thanks

My I7 did not wirelessly charge at all (not built for it) with the I11 it is pretty good. Not sure where that one lies. I will have to note mine after 20 30 minutes?

After using Fordpass you went out and bought their charger for the app? Your charging station maybe is in a deep sleep and can not come to the phone right now.

I deleted it, going through too many phones the other way!

FordPass is developing a new app patch. They are to call back in a week. We'll see what happens. Have two MME fobs, can live without Paak.
