Does anyone know if it is possible to "Ping your Phone" Audible Warning, in the event the/your vehicle has been opened?
I have 'SecuriAlert set as on during the night! It works for sure. Last night I had forgotten something left in my car, so retrieved it during the set ON period for Securialert. Next morning on opening the Fordpass App I was greeted with a message telling me the drivers door was opened during the night -- Yes correct it was, it was me!
But not a lot of good some six hours later!
So how if it is possible can we get a 'real time' audible warning, (on your phone) because if that not possible then the whole point of the system is complete waste of time!
Anyone ?

I get a notification on my Apple Watch within seconds of me opening a door/boot during the day.

Works better with the Pro version of the App as the other seems to have a delay.

Perhaps it’s the settings in your phones notification settings that’s causing the delay - I know my iPhone silences all notifications (not just from Ford) during the night unless you manually override the permissions.

These are the settings for my 'Real Time' audible warnings. I have nothing silenced and no schedules set. I use the basic version and get notifications within seconds.

Thanks guys that is very interesting. I use Android and sadly I don't appear to have the same options on my phone. Yes I have notification set 'on' for my Ford pass App.
I will experiment tonight open a few doors see what happens?
Do you guys have the App running all the time? I tend not to?
