I have this annoyance. After trying again to reset my PAAK, l noticed that two Mach Es now show up on my phone's BT. One is 019** Mach E, that showed up during the PAAK setup. The other one, my BT vehicle name that I set on my car menu, shows up when it ask to use my phone for android auto. I have tried both orders: set up PAAK on my phone first, or add the phone to the phone list in the car menu first, it doesn't matter. When I tried to unpair/forget the 019** Mach E after PAAK setup, PAAK stops working. Is this what everyone with android has?

Yes that's normal. The one with the last digits of your VIN is the RFA connection for PAAK, and the other one is the connection to the APIM/TCU for phone calls and Android Auto. Different modules doing different things, so needs two separate connections.

If you delete the PAAK one you'll have to go through the setup again.

This is well known to all of us, but great for the refreshing of the information.

I've never noticed the two connections before. I hope this means PAAK will start working. Btw, I assume RFA stands for radio frequency ***. What is A?
