Those is exactly my experience at two dealerships, and it makes sense for them, risk-wise, to only apply updates directly associated to a recall / CSP.
Some of the modules have dependencies on much larger updates. It's not possible/easy to tell in FDRS (the update tool), what is going to be updated or how long it will take.
No there isn’t. Job 1 frunks are as they were designed to be and as they were delivered. The dealers are right about that, using FDRS to enable a remote frunk release (or pretty much anything else) is a “mod” that needs to be addressed by Ford. Ford can issue a TSB with a procedure for dealers including billing procedures to Ford or to the customer, or they can push it via OTA. To date they’ve done neither.
I wonder if the doomed 6.5.0 update was supposed to be the frunk update…An OTA update enabling remote frunk access on Job 1 cars was slated to be pushed in the past but was sidetracked for a variety of reasons. It might currently be slated to happen in the future with the BC 1.3 series of PoweUps but I’m not holding my breath as we’ve been in this position before. The reality for me is, while I’d prefer a remote frunk release like all the rest of the MMEs, the car came this way and I can live with it — even if it’s less than ideal.

It could be a much worse notch. At least our cars are drivable:
I was definitely thinking the same thing when I read about that this morning!
My dealer says the same thing. I was throwing a minor DTC and the solution in FDRS coincidentally gave me the first of 3 methods to open the frunk electronically. I’m now up to 2/3.
what are the three methods?
There is the physical lever, and three electronic methods.
Why do you have to enter passcode twice on the keypad?
I don't enter it twice, just press the 9-0 button after entering the passcode.
guess we know what mirak's code starts with
