DIY: Key Fob with Frunk Button !

[generaltso]

So, by Monday night, I expect to be mashing the 7/8 key repeatedly, in disappointment, as nothing happens ?

Don’t forget to enter your code first.

I use PAAK

It‘s in the first post of this thread.

I've tried both part numbers but I'm getting this from Ford Part's - Part searched may be obsolete or invalid. Please contact your dealer.

PN NL3T-15K601-EC or Ford 164R8304

That’s unrelated.

The part number on mine is NL3T-15K601-EB.

Possible it was replaced with EC - here are some in stock:

I’d unlock my car via PAAK. No need to use the keypad.

It doesn’t matter if it’s unlocked. You will still need to enter your code if you want to use the 7-8 button to open the frunk.

honestly this is kinda dumb (not your comment but typing the full code even if car is unlocked)

I assume it's to prevent you from accidentally hitting the 7-8 button and unknowingly popping the frunk. That being said, a better solution would just be to require the 7-8 button to be held for a few seconds.

Ah. I did not know that. That’s pretty stupid, particularly considering that the hands free liftgate works when the car is locked (as long as you have the fob/your PAAK phone). I’m becoming convinced that there’s a hidden “anti-frunk” faction at ford who are trying to make the frunk as inconvenient as possible ????

If the BCM and GFM have been updated, yes.

Do you know the version of the BCM and GFM that the car needs to be at for the FOB frunk button to work (2021 Job 1 MMEs)? Just wondering if there is some kind of reference if I ask my dealer about it.

No. They should just update to the latest.

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 someone has any suggestions I'm gonna have to return this fob. I was so excited for this too

Reboot the sync screen before attempting again. I had the same problem and it worked the first time after rebooting sync. Vol down and right arrow on steering wheel.
