That comes with an update in the car, not the app. And they've changed the button to Frunk instead of Front Trunk.
wait so can you get it today in a Premium if you go to a dealer for them to apply the update?

Yup, the wireless charger is still worthless to me, but I'm fine with that now that the app is playing nice with my phone!
It was playing nice but I've had to use the backup code several times in the last day or so, FP is back on the battery list, and I've lost Android Auto connection a couple times as well. Wish they could get this right.

Being on the list using how much?

Also, Android Auto doesn't have anything to do with Ford Pass.

Over a 24 hour period it was back on the list using 20-25%, which was typical until 3.31. However, FP is now back to hardly using any battery on the list (1%) ??

When I have weird connection issues like that, normally it's the result of a bluetooth issue with the phone and a restart of the phone fixes it. So far 3.31.0 has been pretty solid.

Instead of doing a phone restart just force quit the FP app and then reopen it again.

While that can help if the issue is with FordPass, I have had times when it's a bigger Bluetooth issue with the phone, for example the Bluetooth audio is skipping, etc. In which case PaaK also acts up since it uses Bluetooth, but in that example it's not FP's fault and a phone restart clears it up.

I'd hate to jinx it, but has anyone else noticed that this version is way less of a phone battery hog than previous releases? I've had several false positives with previous releases that changed after a day or two, but I've been running it all day today and FordPass isn't even on my list of battery consumers!
I noticed that too. I held off saying anything just to be sure. Today I've had PaaK service running for 12 hours straight and it's not even on my battery list (Pixel 5). The only downside I've noticed from this version is it is much less reliable actually working as a key. I had to use the door code twice today. Oh well, at least they fixed one thing.

As for wireless charging my phone stops charging after 5-10 minutes. This is due to using Google maps while using Android Auto. The phone turns off wireless charging to keep the phone from over heating. I get around this by switching to some other app like YouTube music if I don't need a passive map on my main screen. In these cases wireless charging continues without fail nearly all the time.

It would have to be done at the dealer. But the frunk button is gone again, so don’t do it just for that. It didn’t actually work anyway.
