I had the TSB update installed some time ago. PaaK was working better, but reliability gradually began to deteriorate. The reliability has deteriorated exponentially to the point where the car never "wakes" up when I approach it with my phone in my hand, app open. It almost never opens when I press the button on the door (I have to unlock it via the app), it rarely will recognize the phone as a key when the phone is on the charging pad with the app open, when I press the start button. after 2-3 presses of the start button, it might recognize the phone as a key. Sometimes, it will prompt me for the car password, then, partway through entering the car password, it will decide that it recognizes the phone as a key and "magically" start ?‍
I can't even guess as to what may be going on. The software on my iPhone isn't changing (same iOS, same version of FordPass). The software in the vehicle isn't changing (we know how quickly Ford pushes out OTAs and everyone knows that I'm usually the lucky one who gets a rock when an OTA is pushed ). About all I can speculate on is something weird like a memory leak or something in one of the many modules? I dunno? Whatever it is, I'm tired of this silliness.
