Phone>settings>Connections> tap on Bluetooth delete any previous Bluetooth pairings between phone and MME by With your 5-digit DoorCode, and Backup StartCode, you are set!įirst steps are to clear any partial or 'failed pairings' from both your phone, and your MME console.Ģ. and have a 'virtual spare key' even if you lose both your Fob and your Phone.Īfter several days of trial and error, and some helpful communication from the PAAK development team at Ford, I was able to piece together a few not-well-documented details in the procedure that FINALLY got me thru with a valid Phone setup, and set a StartCode. Don't be discouraged! The current release is a little flaky, and it may randomly drop the Bluetooth connect for Automatic FordPass features, but you WILL be able to set a Backup StartCode.
The Problem with PaaK config on some Android 9 phones (like mine) in the current (3/2021 PAAK), is that the FordPass app displays a screen in the very beginning saying that your 'Device is not supported' for Phone As A Key (PAAK) functionality. Just wanting a way to get into the car, and start it without EITHER Fob or Phone present in case of loss, damage, or dead batteries in Fob and Phone. Not really concerned with using PaaK on a daily basis or remote start. My Goal in documenting this process was to complete config of FordPass - PAAK to enable setting a BackupStartCode that could be entered on Console if and when needed.
