4 years. No fob. On the rare occasion that it doesn’t work, I’ve used the door code and password.

I have used Phone as a key exclusively a few times (left the fob at home) but as a general rule I always carry the fob with me too because without the fob the door locks seem to take a couple of extra seconds to connect and operate and it's just enough of a cause to scare that it's not going to work.
Do most of you on this forum carry the fob in a belt and suspenders state of mind?
I have my door code, and the secret start code and even the instructions on using the codes in my phone, but I still can't wean myself from the fob.
What's the consensus here?
FOB in car only when at dealer or when programming. PAAK is king.

100% PAAK.

I had an oil pump go out a couple weeks ago which meant a trip to the dealer. Fob wasn't in its place, took me a while to find it.

In the end the dealer got to do an oil change on my car. 🤣

I use PAAK always. The few times it didn’t work immediately I got my phone out and brought fordpass up and that seemed it get PAAK to work. I do have a fob in a faraday bag just in case.

I don't get the issue with having a fob with you. It's barely noticable in my pocket and quick to use. I also fear breaking my phone (screen) and losing access. If I did paak only is surely have a fob in the car as others here do
