3.29.0 Fordpass update just released

[BMT1071]

Only new thing i noticed was there is a new permission for access to biometric hardware...

iPhone? I don't see that on Android.

Welp, I had hopes this update would make charging stations reappear but no such luck.

I have an EV and and app for that EV that doesn’t show EV charging stations but can list all the gas stations in a split second. Some sense of humor, Ford!

Hahaha.

Tell Ford to build this! Man, I really hate their app. This would be much better.

Yes. I’ve recommended that Ford look at your mach-up and reach out to you.

The app won't stay running long enough for me to see if it actually will display charging stations, but it has a button to select charging. ?‍

I will definitely give this a try - i did notice that the MME shows up twice in the bluetooth settings. something i hadn't noticed before. but checked my wife's phone and it is seemingly normal as she has two as well.

I think one is for the car (the approach) the other is for the phone and contacts once in the car.

Do you have an iPhone? I deleted the app, turned off my phone for a few mins then back on, redownloaded the app and at first it still wasn’t showing the chargers, but I clicked gas stations (lol) which populated all of them and then charging stations and it took about 30 seconds of the app thinking but it FINALLY loaded them. We’ll see how long it lasts but I’m happy I didn’t have to add the car in again. I know your problem is different but might be worth a try?

I'm an Android guy. Trying to avoid another reinstallation if possible. I'll see if anything changes when I'm back at my car tomorrow.

I don't want to jinx things but since 3.29.0 everything seems to be working better than ever. I will likely eat those words at some point but I made 2 trips so far and I can actually open the driver door without opening the back passenger door first. I also disconnected the battery yesterday and that likely fixed it as well.

I updated and now the blankety-blank PaaK will not open!

Glad to see I'm not the only one that is having crashing problems with the Ford Pass app. I was starting to think it was my phone.... Hopefully, they'll fix soon. For now, I need to keep carrying the key since you can't use PAAK if the app refuses to load. Please fix soon!

 

[Shayne]

hmmm i dont get a charge level on the Home screen. Maybe because it still has not allowed me to re-setup PAAK...

No they are independent.

I just downloaded v3.29 to my iPhone and now car is charging outside of the charging time window I set (no departure times are set.) I verified that the charge time window is still there. I made a minor change and sent it to the car, but no joy. Still charging when I don't want it to. Had to manually stop the charge.

Bug?

Regen ................ Can anyone else chime in not interested in going back there. I would hope the car controls not the other way around.

Did you check your schedule in the app and car?
Did your small change sync with the car?
Did you mod the schedule on the car system and see if it starts to behave?
Was it plugged in when you modified the schedule trying to reset it? (unplug)
Was it plugged in when you updated?

 

[BadgerGreg]

Yes! It was accurate for the first 6 weeks of ownership then the last 3 times it was all out of wack.

1st time: I charged from 18% to 90% at home and it said my estimated miles added was 858 miles
2nd time: I got about 10% added free at a movie theatre, went home and finished charging up to 90%. Instead of two separate charges it said my entire charge was at the movie theater.
3rd time: I charged from 48% to 90% at home, it said I added 690 miles. The KWH added though seems to always match up.

858 miles...NICE! You must be doing some serious hypermiling...

I have the frunk button in this update.

Please report the typo where they put "Front Trunk" when it should say "Frunk"

Yes I did all that. The schedule appears in the app, but the car is not following it. I'll play with it some more later.
