Dear Ford people who are viewing the forum . . . please consider making the Mach E compatible with Apple Car Key. I know that your PAAK is a point of pride in your release of the Mach E. BUT . . . it is so inconsistent. I am driving my dealer's FCTP this week until my car arrives, and sometimes it works, but most times it does NOT. iPhone 11ProMax is my phone for those wondering.

Yes, I know we can program a code to open and a code to start (I have not done that because dealer demo) and I WILL do that in my car, but that kind of defeats the purpose.
If I had Apple Car Key as an option, I could use my phone OR my Apple Watch to open the car. And, Apple software just tends to WORK. I unlock my Mac daily with just my watch. Works like a charm, and I am guessing Car Key would work just as well. Ford PAAK has been a frustration. It would be REALLY nice of you to just give us the option like you gave us CarPlay or Android Auto. And for our Android friends, if they have something similar, please give them that option too.
And I know some bean counter in Dearborn decided if our phone works we don't need two fobs. Well, they were wrong. EVERY Mach E owner should get another fob courtesy of Ford. That move was just CHEAP.
Thanks for listening . . . I feel better now, but would feel even better if you take me up on all of this.
