Can’t break it if you can’t set it up.

The new improved setup experience improves the experience by preventing you from ever setting it up in the first place

Later this afternoon, we took a trip down town, when I started the truck, I got an alert that the following update is now pending to install at 1am overnight, assuming that's successful, I'll also be looking at any impact it brings.

I've had 4.28.0 for a while - It still has that stupid spinning "loading" circle. I don't use PAAK, so no feedback from me there. I can't see anything this is "broken" however.

I had phone as a key since October, don’t understand this update

It's supposed to improve the experience of new users setting up PAAK, I guess most of use early adopters will not see anything regarding this improvement, but hopefully others who have not tried PAAK yet will have a better experience setting it up.

This one is supposed to work on the DC Fast Charging curve. Got it a few weeks ago and I guess I saw some improvement (it seemed like the charging curve got to max charge quicker).

My truck got the PAAK update last night, no idea if I had it already or not as I haven't tried to use my phone yet. I'll update FordPass today and give it a go after the kiddos go to bed.

Got it. Thanks. It was a pain to set up

So I tried last night and have no idea what happened. I hit the button on the app to start pairing. Before I got farther along I realized I had BT off, so I quickly toggled it back on. Upon BT turning on I suddenly got an email that I've activated PAAK on my truck. Cool, but when I went back to the app the button now says Resume Setup. So I hit that, then it says my phone is not fully compatible, I have an S23+...how is that not compatible? I hit continue and then it wants me to rename my phone because their is already one paired with that name. At this point I gave up fiddling with the app and tried to figure out how to set the password. I could not find anywhere on the app or in the settings menu and was too tired to look it up at this point so I went to bed.

IIRC, passwords /codes are input on the Sync screen.

I found the place to change the door code, but did not see an option for a password. Does it not show up if PAAK is not fully enabled?

I believe that is the case, I only set password when I originally set up PAAK.
