Before I start, if you have a Job 2 or 2022 MME, you don't need to chime in and tell us that you've had a functional frunk button since Day 1. We know, but Job 1 cars haven't.

Ford released new updates for the BCM (Body Control Module) and GFM (Generic Function Module) last night in FDRS that seem to have activated the electronic release mechanism for the frunk. There was still no button on the screen, but the emergency release button inside the frunk and the keypad control both worked. I'm sure Ford will push an APIM config eventually to add the missing button to the Sync screen, but @i8iridium posted the line where it can manually be changed with FORScan here.

All of this is to say that @Jimrpa 's frunk button really does seem to finally be coming. If you have FDRS and FORScan, you can get it today (still not in FordPass though). If you don't have FDRS, please don't call your dealer and ask them for the updates. There is no current service campaign for it, and there may not be before it starts rolling out OTA. But this is progress, right?

Let's just hope it's not the BlueCruise flavor of soon.
To be honest, I don’t think it’s coming “next week”, but I think this indicates there’s a chance of “by the end of CY22”.

When Ben told me these updates popped up thismorning I suspected it would enable the Frunk for Job 1 2021's. Glad you've confirmed it!

This is amazing, I can't wait for the update to come to my car! If I had FDRS I'd do it this weekend, but outside of this feature I'm pretty much all caught up on the updates for my car and happy with where it is.

If I've got 21P22 updates to be done tomorrow, is BCM part of it?

The BCM is, but the GFM is not. It will be interesting to see what happens if they update the BCM without updating the GFM because others that tried that before the GFM was available got a Frunk Fault error in the instrument cluster.

Oh dang, ok. I guess I could mention it, but I expect to get the deer in the headlights look

Yeah, well, if your car does get the Frunk Fault after they install the updates, hopefully a call to Ford will tell them to install the GFM. Or maybe they will anyway because it's easier than cherry picking.

Anyone know anyone that has FDRS in Massachusetts? I’ll bring beer!
Hopefully this will come out OTA soon. Maybe the Fall deadline will hold!
