Even plugged into the car and sitting on the phone charger I sometimes get no phone detected and requirement to enter password. Going back to key fob. I have had the car in for 2 updates and still is not working 100%. Just programmed a 3rd fob, Paak not worth the hassle. Now the car also recognizes me all the time.There’s a couple factors at play. Paak tried to measure the distance of your device using the Bluetooth connection (which is not accurate), if it thinks it’s too far it won’t activate. This is why people say to place the phone bellow the screen, personally holding it in my hand while pushing the button works great.
Paak is also authenticated by the fordpass app. Sometimes you might need to force quit the app and reload it.
