You can't really even see it to be honest. I was sitting basically in the passenger seat leg area.That’s cool if you’re happy with it. But, for me, that looks janky as hell for a $57,000 car.

How / Where did you connect it?

I just tried it and only needed to tap onceI mean, I had to stop at my storage shed on the way to work this morning, and after parking and turning the car off, I remembered before getting out of the car to open the hatch. No big deal, hit the vehicle icon, screen goes to access page, press the button. Nothing happens. Tap the button a second time, hatch begins to open. As I prepare to unleash a string of profanity that would make the Wolf of Wallstreet blush, it dawns in me… the damn thing NEVER opens on the first tap. Ever.
Then, it dawns on me that when you use the fob, you have to tap twice to open the hatch as well. Then I start thinking about how stupid it is that I have to tap 3 times (car icon, open hatch, open hatch) to open the hatch from the screen, and only twice from the fob. Is it me, or is this just bad user interface design?
I long-press. Not as irritating to me as the double-tap. Works slick as ?.... it dawns in me… the damn thing NEVER opens on the first tap. Ever.
They should make more customizable tiles like an access tile for trunk and frunk.This and also a more convenient frunk release button should have been physical buttons installed by Ford from the start. Even when Ford does get around to adding a frunk release button to the Sync system, it is still going to be easier to continue using the current lever to pop the frunk, rather than navigating to the Access screen in the Sync system to release it. For most things, I am fine with using Sync, but the trunk and frunk release switches definitely should have been physical buttons.
My problem with that is the same as the current rear hatch being on the screen only… most of the time, out of sheer habit, I turn off the car and open the door (which kills the screen) before I can catch myself. So if it’s raining, I end up digging my fob out of my pocket to open the hatch before getting out to remove whatever I was needing to remove.They should make more customizable tiles like an access tile for trunk and frunk.
There are 2 tie down rings at the back of the cargo area. I have a net that I hook to them and I hook the other side to the child seat anchor points.Even if you get the hatch open, there’s no cargo net to put the groceries in. Evannex Or the like fix that for me?
Maybe it's a security thing.I mean, I had to stop at my storage shed on the way to work this morning, and after parking and turning the car off, I remembered before getting out of the car to open the hatch.

Won't open unless the car is in park, so no chance for this to happen if you are stopped at a traffic light, in park with brake applied.Maybe it's a security thing.
Double tap prevents the opening on accident, when you just scroll through the menus.
Your are waiting at a traffic stop or traffic light and your scroll through the menus.
Now you touch accidentally the button for the hatch and it opens. That would suck I guess.
Well ok ... But still I think it's for security.Won't open unless the car is in park, so no chance for this to happen if you are stopped at a traffic light, in park with brake applied.
