PaaK On/Off Toggle in FordPass (PLEASE!)

[JonathanEzor]

you can either turn BT off on your phone,
or 'force stop' the FordPass app itself which prevents messages and battery use. I consider it the electronic equivalent of hanging my keys on a hook by the garage door.

- touch-hold on the FP app icon
- click on 'app info'
- click on 'force stop'

.... then click on icon to re-start app when you are heading out and everything will re-connect and PAAK will work as you approach. (assuming BT is ON)

Just start Fordpass back up when you head for the garage to go somewhere. Allow about 20-30 seconds for it to reconnect to everything, and make sure BT is ON as you approach.

If you are using your Fob as key, then just leave FordPass off.

....personally, I have wrapped my Fob up in a tin foil burrito, and hidden INSIDE the cabin for emergencies if my phone dies, or if I need it to give to attendant for valet parking. I use PAAK exclusively, and just turn Fordpass on/off so my MME doesn't have conniptions every time I walk by in the garage.

That should work, but it's damned annoying to have to do. Thanks. {Jonathan}

two clicks one way or the other...
toggling FP on/off, or BT on/off

....truly the least of my concerns with the MME

Does that cancel the connection attempt, or just the notification being shown? {Jonathan}

if you force-stop the FordPass App.... it's not running, so it is not even looking or attempting connections. you can leave BT up and running for your other devices and let the car sleep peacefully

Both.
