A few weeks ago the proximity door unlock stopped working, I have to press the unlock button on the fob to get in.

The running lights activate when the fob gets near, but the little pony ground projection also stopped appearing. I changed the battery in the fob just in case, but the issue persists.

I've searched the forums, but it seems like the last reports of similar bugs were from 2021. Any troubleshooting ideas, or should I take it to a dealer?

If you happened to receive an update then check your settings. All I can think of.

Enable folding mirrors in settings.

Not sure if it will help with the fob, but with PAAK I need to restart the SYNC4 system on a weekly basis. Hold both volume-down and next-track (right arrow) on the steering wheel for 10 seconds and the screen will restart.

Good morning! If you would like me to look into your concerns, please send over a DM with your VIN and Ford dealer info.

I tried rebooting Sync again and turning on folding mirrors, but the issue is the same. (Would've been wild if folding mirrors fixed it!)

I've DM'd requested info, but I'm guessing a dealer service is in my future.

Check all of your settings. Is welcome lighting turned on?

If that doesn’t work. Try deleting your fob and reconnecting it in your profile.
