What a conundrum. I have FDRS, but want to make sure that my car will now receive OTA updates.

How long can I hold out? EA's aren't even seeing this yet, right?
I am not and I’m EA, but not VIP EA

It's finally working on my Job 1 car (build date 27.05.2021). I installed the updates for the BCM and GFM via FDRS. But I can only open the frunk via the key fob, because I have neither on the touch screen nor in the app a button to open the frunk ?
I thought @generaltso had the screen button? Also, how do you have a frunk button on the fob?
Nevermind. I see you’re from Europe.

Yes, but I had to use FORScan to get the button to appear on the screen. Why Ford chose to give North American owners a fob with a blank space instead of a frunk or remote start button is anyone's guess.
Because we’re special ?

Are you able to use the door code to open the Mach e frunk on a job 1 car? On mine I can enter my door code then press and hold the 7-8 button to pop the frunk.

Yes. But only after these new BCM and GFM updates. By the way, you don't have to hold the 7-8 button. A tap will do.

I see, well welcome to the easy frunk club
. That is honestly my preferred way to open the frunk. You don't have to fiddle around with the app or sit with your door half open to pull the latch.

Look at you, already a frunk release expert after just one day. ;)?
I've been preparing for this day for 17 months. ?

And my code starts with a 7, so I accidentally opened the frunk again after re-entering my code to try to open the trunk. A press and hold probably would have made more sense to prevent accidental frunking.

Was it everything you hoped it would be?

Seriously though, in my opinion the keypad frunk release is the most convenient of the methods.
Not really. Now that I have it, I'll probably never use it. But don't tell @Jimrpa .

You just made it one digit easier for me to access your car. ?

You just have to contort yourself into the frunk, slam it shut, and hope for the best. Or, like @Logal727 said, you can just press the button with the frunk open and listen for the sound.
I didn’t need to contort. ??
