I have a 2023 Mache with an Iphone 17 pro and not sure what caused my "phone as a key" to stopped working. I have reading several suggestions trying I think all of the suggestions.
Turned off VPN, disabled VPN bypass.
Forget blue tooth to Mache
Delete PAAK on both phone and car.
Reset car in setting, clearing cashe
Shut down phone, waited about 10 minutes.
"ran a round in circles" :)

Then re-connected PAAK again going through the whole process. I have done this about 4 times.

The mache blutooth connection, connects then disconnect as I watch it, stay primarily dissconnected.
I worked flawless for over 3 years, then this happened.
Not sure about an Mache update implication or not.

No apple watch around during these isses as well. I will call Ford on Monday, as I am at my witts end on this.
Thank you if you have any other suggestions or work-a-rounds that you have resolved this with.

Yes, PaaK is flawed. Well known.

Yeah something happened this weekend. Doesn’t work at all anymore. Can’t unlock and can’t start the car.
I’ve used PAAK since getting the car in 2021. Works great, then it doesn’t, then it works great again. The last 6 months it was working just Meh, rarely unlocked the doors but always started until this weekend.

I simply do not use PaaK. A shame really, as it sounds like a "cool" feature. But, the time you get stranded somewhere, it simply wouldn't be funny...

Backup code has never failed me. I would bring keys if going on a trip or when I leave it at the airport for a while.
there was one update in the app that wiped the PAAK stuff but they clearly notified you before and gave you X amount of weeks to get it done.
