Got new phones in early February. Deleted old phones, added new phones, setup PaaK. Worked fine. Recently was dealing with an Android watch issue, and noticed that it said under Settings, Phone As a Key that I needed to make it a Phone As a Key, even though it already is. As you can see in the screenshot, it's already setup...

Clearly I could go through process of deleting it, then readding it, setting up a new passcode, because that's so much fun. A few days ago I recall getting the message that Phone As A Key was trying to connect. Can't recall doing anything that would make this issue in responding to that though.

Any insight? My wife's phone still works. I have the FordPass version that allows Feedback whereas my wife does not.

I had the same issue with my pixel 9 a few weeks ago. Clearly showed it as a device key exactly the same as your picture, but kept telling me to set up PAAK. I deleted all keys and started over. Hasn't happened since.

It's not anything close to your issue, but I'm on the April Pixel security update version and Fordpass 5.17.0 and a Pixel 8 Pro. My PAAK fails to connect probably about 1 out of 5 times I approach the car now. It used to be rock solid. :(

Someone should make an aftermarket UWB module + app that would work more reliably with our phones. If only car manufacturers were required to publish module CAN addresses and data register info, we could mod our cars however we see fit.
