"Walk-Away" option will not enable

[ktom]

Anything with an RFA in it (Lariats and above I believe).

Having said that...I guess it won't work with just using the fob? That seems strange that they'd have a menu option for something that will only work via Bluetooth and a phone. Wondering why they couldn't make it work with just the fob if you aren't using PAAK?

Right?

The truck recognizes the key fob long before it recognizes the phone. If it can recognize its existence it could recognize its absence.

PAAK only works when the ford pass is open and in the foreground of my android. I can't understand why PAAK isn't a background process that would allow it to be more dependable

I don't depend on the PAAK.

WAL, LOL!!, I have a Lariat, no WAL. I have been asking anyone who will listen, where the WAL is. The only answer I get is it works on the mach e.

I have been told by the dealer service people that the next update is supposed to mend the PAAK. I am not holding my breath.

As long as the key fob continues to work reliably, I am good. Yes, I have given up on PAAK and WAL working in a reliable manner.

WAL only works on trucks that have gotten the BCM update. There is supposedly an OTA version that eventually will show up for people who haven't gotten the dealer tech to do the FDRS version of the update. No idea when that will happen, though.

I have this BCM update and the later gateway updates and the APIM updates that enabled all the Sync toggle buttons. I can tell you that it all does work as intended. I have both a MME and a Lightning, and in order for WAL to work properly on either of them I must have the correct vehicle selected in FP, even though I may be carrying a fob for that vehicle at the time.

Could someone upload the Sync screen to enable this? What was the BCM/APIM update again?

Do you have all the permissions set in Android? Android tamps down on background apps to conserve battery life unless you greenlight them
