But I meant the button integrated into Sync on my center screen - it just does nothing.
The button inside the frunk does nothing either haha

The code for monitoring a binary device such as the frunk button is very complex. It’s going to take time to roll out such a gigantic update. 🤪🐩
Wouldn't it be at least a 2 bit binary.
Closed
Pulled once
Pulled twice
Open

Not to mention, half the time the ford pass app seems to be afraid I am driving when no one is even in the vehicle.

Frunk button is Ford’s FSD. Vaporware that you paid for, but will never get to see work. In the words of Jim “Elon” Farley, “It’s really close.”

show off.
Yeah, some of us would kill for a Frunk button that does nothing! Back when we got our Mach-e’s we had no button at all, and happy we were! We had divided frunks that would hold nothing! And we were happy to have nothing! And manual releases! We had to pull not once but twice! Manually! Kids nowadays!*

*and stay off my grass!

The frunk Button on Sync works on my 2022 mach-E. There is no fordpass button though.
There will be no button in the FordPass app if the app does not think you have set up PaaK. If you have set up PaaK, you are likely experiencing a known bug in Ford’s back-end systems: There is an issue where Ford’s servers will not recognize that you have set up PaaK (and therefore continually display the “Set up Phone as a Key” banner, hiding that second row of buttons). This issue presents itself when your email address contains any character that is not alphanumeric (i.e. not a-z or 0-9). My email address has a hyphen in it, so I cannot use the second row of buttons if logged into FordPass with my regular email address. I created a throw-away address and linked that to my car and use that in the FordPass app so that I could use that second row of buttons. Ford has supposedly identified the errant code and fixed it. I have not found that it has cascaded down to the servers my FordPass app is talking to. YMMV. 🤔🤪🐩

At least a single grocery bag doesn’t vomit itself all over your frunk the first time you hammer a corner. 🤪🐩

You should listen to the latest RadioLab episode about people with the last name “Null”

I've had the car over a year and have used the frunk like 3 times. If I had a frunk button, I would have used it like 3 times... seriously people.

If Ford is giving us a working Frunk button why was it removed from Sync after OTA 2.5.1?
