My daughter has a 2021 Tesla 3 that she paid the extra $10K for at the time to get "Full Self-Driving". Hers has the radar installed, but when it went in for service in 2023, they turned it off and told her that the radar was no longer supported. She noticed after that her car doesn't track as...
Note that PAAK uses the Bluetooth Low Energy BLE. Does Android Auto work fine from your phone? That's based on standard Bluetooth. What broke in the updates in December was support for BLE which was fixed in the releases in January. Here's a extremely detailed explanation...
Yes, my phone says it's trying to connect to my car and sometimes it does -- my garage is separated from the house by about 50 feet. Try logging out from Ford Pass on your phone when you are in your house and see if that makes a difference. Note you don't need to remove it, just log out.

What is not working is the low energy Bluetooth, BLE is designed for low-power applications and does not support high data rates comparable to Bluetooth Classic. BLE is what is used for PAAK, Android Auto uses Bluetooth Classic. BLE is more secure, and can work when your phone is almost dead.
According to Ford Support, this is a known bug that they are working on. Seems to be a problem with Samsung Android primarily. If you want, there are at least 40 reports that could send you a VIN and local Ford Dealer.
Same exact problem. After update this weekend, PAAK won't work. Using Fob until they do a fix. Spoke to Ford Support today, they claim they know about the massive bug and are working on it. Seems to be only on Android phones according to them. . . I asked the lady if all the programmers were...
There is the same possibility of an EV catching fire in your garage as an ICE. I always park my cars in my garage, now going on 50 years and have yet to see a fire other than my wife when she is mad at me.
