DIY: Key Fob with Frunk Button !

[bshaw]

That worked! But unfortunately, every button on the fob works EXCEPT for the frunk one ?

If you use the keypad and press 7/8, does that operate the frunk?

If no, then you still need some FDRS updates applied to get it going. Fob won’t make it happen by itself.

I replied to your other post, but I’ll say it here too. You need to get the BCM and GFM updated.

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.

Hi,
I believe i have the BCM update as I can open the frunk as hold 7-8 pin for a few seconds, and when i press the button inside the frunk, the frunk has an open reaction. However, I have tried more than 10 times, and it shows Key Program Failure everytime. I tried to reboot the sync screen, but still get the same failre message. The battery in the new keyfob is good.
The Keyfob number is NL3T-15K601-EB.
Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you very much

Success!

You do not have to press the brake. Accessory mode will work.

I had the door opened, not that I think it mattered.

What I did was removed all the batteries except for the new remote. I also left the backing off, to make sure I maximized the signal strength to the transmitter/receiver, and removed the metal blade.

What seemed to do the trick was the orientation. The instructions say to have the buttons facing the rear, and the key blade opening facing up. When I inverted it (so buttons faced the rear hatch, but the key fob facing down), it worked with what I would consider a reliable signal. This also seems to make more sense (to some degree) as the cutout is formed to the wider key fob dimensions, resulting in a tighter fit.

Timing-wise, I waited a few seconds between each step, not the requisite 5-10 seconds per the instructions.

Thank you all!

Can anyone confirm if this still works? I have tried over and over with any number of combinations of 5 seconds or shorter or less, foot on or off the brake, and door open and closed, and new key batteries, but always get the Key Pairing Failure message. 2023 Mach E

Programed mine today. After 5 attempts I watched this video. It takes 3 remotes , 2 that are programed to the MME and the new un-programed remote .

This is a great video. I followed the directions to program mine in one shot a few months back.

Not sure if eBay will have any coupons for this coming Black Friday but I purchased my fob with frunk access and the electric mustang logo on the back from here: https://ebay.us/qQyIsG

Makes the frunk so much more accessible and useful with a dedicated button.

Found a used one on Ebay $50.00, worked and looked great
