Frunk Button in FordPass YAY! My Job 1 Mach-E is Complete!!!!

[Jimrpa]

Jim, at 1st I didn't see it was you that posted; so my initial thought was .... "It's not April 1st"; but alas it is you!!! So now the question: How do I get this done. I've been reading the thread and understand you had the dealer install something prior. Can you give me the "terminology" so I can ask my dealer to get this done. Thanks, and I'm still in shock!!!

I wish I knew how it happened so I could tell everyone what to do. Other than continually whining (and yes, a lot was in jest) here, I didn’t do anything. I didn’t ask my dealer to do anything (other than the module updates a couple of months ago), and I never had any contact with Ford on the issue. As I said, one day PAAK was being recalcitrant, so I opened FordPass on my phone, and there it was.

The dealer needs to do 3 things with FDRS:

1. Update the BCM
2. Update the GFM
3. Run the "Enable Center Display Screen Hood Release Soft Button" routine

That will add a frunk button to the Sync screen, allow you to open the frunk from the keypad on the door, enable the emergency button inside the frunk, and allow you to use a fob with a frunk button (purchased separately). The frunk button still won't be in FordPass until Ford decides to enable that for your car.

IT FINALLY HAPPENED! Christmas came early (or really, really late)...

Third step wasn't an option when I had dealer due BCM/GFM, is that the exact same process Forscan uses?

It's not called the same thing in FORScan, but it does do the same thing.

FORScan calls it the Frunk Soft Switch. I was finally able to get mine working on Friday afternoon after having issues last month. I used a different laptop with a newer version of FORScan and it wrote to the module as expected. ? All I am missing now is the button in FP.

WOW! Having solved the frunk button problem, what's next for you? I hope you find a new purpose in life and don't just rest on this momentous success.

For the rest of us, we'll have to wonder - was it just to shut up Jim? Will the rest of us be so blessed some day? Do we have to pick up the mantle and try to find ways to keep the topic top of mind?

Time will tell, but for you, we are happy1

Another Job 1 here. I got the radio preset power up update today, and immediately after, the frunk button appeared in FordPass for me. Possibly a coincidence, possibly related. I do NOT have the frunk button available on the touchscreen at this time. I did have the dealer update the BCM so that I could open the frunk from the door pillar.

My car just installed 23-PU0110-RAD-PS and now I have the frunk button in Ford Pass as well!

I got that update a week or two ago, and I still don't have the frunk button in FordPass, so I wouldn't think it's related. But who knows what kind of voodoo sorcery Ford is using.

You’re probably enjoying too much of your own chicken and not enough ganja for the voodoo to work. ??

Do you have the frunk button on the center screen and via the keypad?

WOW, you guys are way ahead of me, my android phone app only shows horn and lights icons.
No windows up/down, no hatch/frunk icon for my 2021 MME Premire I guess 1 out of 5 isn't too bad, maybe next month huh?

Yes, but I did those myself.

That means you haven’t set up PaaK.
