Yeah. Limited sample but I just made a trip to the store and back, and it's the first time in my 1st 3.5 weeks of my MME and PaaK that my phone never left my pocket for that same trip!

I just downloaded the new version of Ford Pass for Android and I am amazed how much better PAAK is working.
Pardon my cynicism but do you mean that its working correctly or just much better than the previous abysmal performance?

I have only had to take one trip today, but for the first time it worked as I would expect. The door opened the instant I touched the button both times. That never happened before.

Until now there was always at least a three to ten second delay before the door would open and at least one time out of ten I needed to take the phone out, open the ap and explicitly unlock the doors.

One thing that has never worked for me was the phone notification when you you enable walk away lock. The way I understood it was I would get a push notification when the car locked after I walked away. Maybe I misunderstood the feature all together.

Eric, thanks for taking time to add info. Did you have FSA 21b36 (that many of us are now seeing in the Ford Pass app) performed by the dealer? What version of Android are you using?

Same. I'm on Apple, and walk-away lock (w/ confirmation chirp) was not 100%. Or I'd walk up and need to remove phone from my pocket, or need to lock/unlock w/o PaaK. I park in a garage 1-level down and have wondered if the app had an issue as a walked down a stairs a few flights, etc. I had been closing the app and restarting on occasion. Fingers crossed that's not needed much anymore.

I have never had to bring it to the dealer so if there was an update it was OTA. I have a Note 20 with Android 11.

AFAIK the "notification" is the honk

The push notification to the Ford Pass App began with the prior app update - .23? Works every time for me . . . . actually, kind of annoying as I prefer the "honk" notification. That being said, I like any notification that confirms the car locked - now I have both.

I see recall notice on my Ford pass app to book appointment to update paak software.

Anyone else see it?
Yep, I just updated and I see the same recall. Will check with dealer tomorrow. Luckily I'm not using paak yet

On Android here is the notification setting for Walk Away Lock. It never worked for me in the past. I haven't used PaaK for about a month now so I'm hoping it starts working.
