PAAK Safety Net

[TRP]

Got this pretty cheap from Amazon. PAAK has worked fine for us, so far, and we have not been carrying the FOB at all. Wife is taking a trip to Baltimore soon to pick up the granddaughter so I figured I'd get a faraday pouch just incase she gets jammed up.

Once I figured out the FOB has to go into the silver part of the pouch it works fine

Came in a 2 pack (shakur) too

I got the same ones! Carried my fob in that for a week until I trusted PAAK.

I bagged it and tossed in the center console for now. At the risk of jinxing us, we have had no issues getting along with just the phone. After reading all the other folks having issues, I figured why not a little backup insurance ?‍

I plan on doing this whenever my GT-PE shows up. I was originally planning on not using PaaK at all but what the heck? Live on the edge! ??

I'm not a fan of carrying keys/fobs in my pocket so I have really been enjoying just using my phone since I always carry it. It's way more convenient for me. So far it has worked just fine too

I would just remove the battery from the fob. Should accomplish the same purpose.

Having been raised by a paranoid locksmith, I always carry keys or lock picks. The fob isn't a hassle for me.

That's true

The only issue with this becomes if someone breaks into your car and they find the key you are f

But FordPass all let me know when the door is opened

I'm trying to do this too, but my concern is if the fob will get damaged in the car with extreme heat. I live in Houston and it'll get well over 100 degrees in there.

Because of what I have read here I have not bother to use PAAK for the two weeks I have owned my Mach-E. I started using it on Monday and it works just fine. If it doesn't work right away its only because your phone or your car is in sleep mode. Wake either one or both and it works just fine.
Ensure that the phone and the car are not in sleep mode and that the app in running in the background and it will work. Maybe there is room for improvement but I think its the fault of the phone, app, or user. I do not think its an issue with the car.
