That's on the rental agent for not knowing his client and walking him through the operation of the car. And I've had contact with the same engineers for 45 years. Sub's are special, and their engineers are more so.
There'd be NDAs involved and we'd never know anyway.
Yeah, good point!
I got with Ford and they informed me that my MME was built in January of 2021. Basically, no frunk release from my phone. That is a fact.
2 ways to know for sure:
2021 Job1 cars can have the software installed on them to release the frunk electronically. There are two modules that must be updated (Body Control Module, Generic Function Module). Additionally, there is a configuration update that needs to be applied to activate the button on the center screen. Once those are all done, the car must report back to Ford’s servers the software levels of these items. This usually happens after an OTA update. Once the servers know your software is correct for the frunk release, the FordPass app will have a frunk button in it. According to a recent post by Ford, the 6.14 OTA package addresses all of these items. ??
Given how I have helped numerous people with rentals on the basics of charging, and showing them PlugShare, I would say rental companies and agents have no information about EVs and/or do not brief renters on EV basics.
Yes, your vehicle has the required BCM and GFM/FTRM module updates.
The frunk button does not work from the app. Interesting. I have to do some digging. Have to snatch the Mach E from my wife's hands. I got some homework to do this weekend.
A prize to the person who finds this?
Speak for yourself! What I look forward towards most in my vacations is getting to a rental spot that doesn't have my car ready, getting my tired, annoyed family in it and finally being able to read a 200+ page digital manual on a laggy screen ?
