Well half hour after posting that I get this. Ford God's were listening.

@robert5090 - “good for you jack!’

mine said follow onscreen prompts for backup code, never presented.
‘I’m going back out to see if I can find the suggested location of that setting.

Think you might be on to something. I have poor AT&T LTE coverage at my place. Wasn't getting any new updates even with strong WiFi coverage - been checking often the last couple of days. Took a drive today and stopped at a shopping mall for about an hour - happened to notice the truck was getting strong LTE coverage there. When I got home, noticed that 3.5.3 had been applied. Still waiting on 3.5.4 and PaaK.

I think this might be a good guess . It seems like every time I get an OTA update I’m not at home or just got home and nothing when connected to my excellent fiber optic wifi .

In fact, the only updates I’ve received where I wasn’t one of the first to post on here , was the period of time where I was on vacation for two weeks and my truck was parked at home . I never received the 1 pedal update to this day.

I have 1 to 2 bars with AT&T at home so this is spot on to your guess

After getting the Ford Pass account unlocked at 3:49am, I was able to connect the freshly installed version of Ford Pass to my account, the home screen noted I could begin the process to configure PAAK, all done successfully, also created my backup key and revised my door code to something I can remember.

Tested Door code first with no phone or FOB, that worked, and hitting the 8 key after unlock opened the frunk, though you need to use the cabin button to close the frunk afterward.

Tested the PAAK, that works well also, opened the tailgate and frunk, walkup unlock worked on first pull of the handle.

The application is idle on the phone apps status bar with my Harley Boom Box application, hitting "clear" does not close either as others noted before, the application needs to be on standby to operate as needed without fumbling for application startup's. Hopefully this is not going to impact battery life on my now old Samsung S10e

Congrats, glad all is working. Now if they would just add walk away lock and get it pushed to my truck.

I have a May build Lariat Lightning. I have received both the 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 updates over the last two days. I still do not have PAAK. I have deleted and reinstalled the FordPass app without success. Of note: “Backup Start Passcode” now exists in my settings, but it is grayed out and I’m unable to set it. Anybody else with a similar situation or advice?

Paak added to my iPhone and wife’s. Works great on both phones.

Mine seems to be working now. Finally!

This is my exact situation.

Those are software updates. Mine showed as a Power Up. Must be a difference?

Paak so far working great for me, better than it did on my MME at least so far (small sample size).

But what's with no walk away lock? They need to add that ASAP. The MME had the walk away lock feature.

Nope...still waiting for 3.5.3 and 3.5.4!

Poking around the settings for notifications for FORD PASS, came across this setting, it was already on, like everyone else .... no walk away auto locking so far.

I thought that the Power Up’s was just a marketing name for the OTA software updates…so they should be the same. Anyone else know something different?

Same exact thing here, both those updates on Friday but still no PAAK

I love the solution the programmers suggest
