FordPass app functions on Android/Wear OS Watches at last!

Has anyone tried the remote start through the watch App?

I have a Galaxy watch. I can clearly see that it's connecting to the vehicle and receiving current info based on listed range. Once clicking on remote start it comes up with a triangle with ! inside. Underneath it states to double click and doing so does nothing. The vehicle does not start up. I can confirm that on my Ford phone App the remote start does work.

I believe you need to be in range of your phone, unless the watch has a data plan. The double press is touchy. I did get it to work.

I guess I should have mentioned I was definitely in range of my phone. Without it the watch wouldn't have been able to access any data as it doesn't have a SIM or data plan. I tried it twice and the only thing the double tap/press did was make the screen go away. The truck did not start up. When you got it to work, did the watch present you with any sort of confirmation?

When you double tap, it says "starting", then the button lights up blue after it is started.
