you need to leave the key in the car though, right? i tried this the other day and the car seems to have shut off after 15 minutes or so - had used PAAK to start the car and then went back in the house with my phone.I had issues with updates failing to install due to low voltage on my 12v, and to fix this I simply left the car on in my garage for about an hour and that solved the problem.
and yeah, i just got the "deep sleep" banner in fordpass. the car was driven today (and yesterday) so i don't see why the 12V battery would be low. i checked with Car Scanner and it was at about 12V in accessory mode which is low, but i read that deep sleep wouldn't trigger until the LVB reached 9V.
i don't understand why this car has so much trouble with the 12V battery. my M3 has never had a problem like this, and i assume if it needs any amount of current (like to run Sentry mode) it just brings the HVB online every once in a while to charge the 12V battery. the HV battery definitely loses 4-5% per day when sentry is on.
