You can actually get the frunk button anytime, you just might have to pay the dealer to do it like I did for my First Edition. All it needs is the updated BCM and GFM modules which allows them to check the box enabling "electronic front trunk release button". I took my FE to the dealer and...
Haha I second this...I love technology and am an early adopter of many products, but I still have a 32 amp Bosch dumb EVSE that I got for free when we bought our 2014 Chevy Spark EV and it's worked flawlessly to charge all 6 different brand EVs we've had since then, and continues to perfectly...
Yeah from what most people have said who got it done for free, it was alongside other services that the dealer could bill Ford for, but if you're just taking it in for the module update they want to charge you. I had a case open with the Ford BEV team and my rep told me that module updates...
I have a 2021 Job 1 First Edition and had to do the following steps, and now have finally gotten the frunk open functionality from a fob:
1) I had the dealer program and provide me with a second OEM Mach-E key fob, for free per Ford's bulletin that offers this to all early models that originally...
Just repeating what my Ford BEV team case person said 🤷♂️. Either way I plan on calling around to every dealer tomorrow to see if I can reach someone who can/will do it

I spoke with a Ford rep today on the BEV team who said there's no such thing as an "authorization" from Ford for any missing features or update, it's just a matter of finding a dealer who knows and is willing to do it. I have a case open with the BEV team in Houston and they told me if the...
Thanks for your updates. I've been trying to get frunk functionally for ages, and now have a programmed functioning lightning key fob that works for everything but the frunk button. Been trying to find someone in the forums to help me figure out what exactly I need to say to my dealer including...
Did you happen to do this yet? I'm in the same boat. Even got my 3rd fob (lightning), programmed it, but the frunk button doesn't work because I don't have the latest BCM and GFM. I have no faith the dealer will know what im talking about and trying to properly formulate my request. Seems it...
Thanks, I had no idea. So how do some people have it and others don't, possibly build date? I have a First Edition so maybe that has something to do with it. Wondering if I'd get them over OTA at some point or if I should make another appt. Wish I researched this before it was just in for...
This did not work for me, sadly. I have a job 1 FE, bought the exact key fob that was linked in the YouTube video instructions, followed precisely, gauge cluster keeps saying "key program failure" 😭
I have a Job 1 FE and bought the exact key listed in the YouTube instructions video, (see below) and it won't program. I followed the instructions exactly, even tried with the driver door open and door closed, every time I get a Key Program Failure warning message on the gauge cluster. Unless...
Totally, it's like sword of Damocles every day. Shameful the way Ford handled it, knowing they could fail at any time and not doing anything about it until after the fact. They're basically saying they don't care at all about your time or the inconvenience it will cost if/when it fails when...
I bought the red ones but haven't installed yet...still trying to figure out the best way to install (they don't come with instructions) and get feedback from anyone else that has put them on regarding install/durability/removal
