Worked fine on my 2022, too.
Yep, those buttons plus the liftgate and frunk buttons. They do require FordPass and PaaK to be enabled together. Unless you're me for the first several months I owned my car (or a couple of other select people who had non-alphanumeric characters in their perfectly legal email addresses). They're there now, but it was a major pain in the behind to get Ford to 1) acknowledge there was a problem, 2) Acknowledge it was a server-side issue, and 3) figure out a fix.
What documentation was the dealer following to expressly enable remote frunk release? Can you point to a specific Ford document directing the dealer to do this?
Let’s look at what the CSR actually said:
couple that very explicit statement with the lack of any documentation from Ford to Dealers to do ANY of the steps people have discovered that partly enable the functionality, and I stand by my original position. Ford aren’t a bunch of cruel ogres (despite what @HuntingPudel thinks
) who deliberately want to deny early adopters a frunk release. I’m sure if they could easily do it, they would have by now. For example, they gave us our second fobs.
As long as you have a car later than Job 1
There is no “frunk update”. There is updated software for some modules that happens to partly enable the electronic frunk release, but Ford has not officially released any updates specifically to enable the electronic frunk release on Job 1 vehicles.
If there is a hardware limitation, why is it working on my First Edition?I have repeatedly said that I think there is some hardware limitation that is preventing ford from enabling the remote frunk release in Job 1s. This pretty much seals the deal (assuming the CSR is correct). Yes, I realize there is an “unofficial hack”, meaning that the latest code for some modules has the effect of enabling the electric frunk release from the keypad, fob, and sync screen, but nowhere has ford officially acknowledged, endorsed, or officially made that available to owners through normal channels (such as an SSM/TSB, or an OTA).
I sure hope this is just a case of a poorly informed CSR
I dunno. Why do some people get SVS?
No idea. It wasn't my dealer. Just seems unlikely the dealer would do something "unofficial" to a car under warranty (at least I assume it still is).
And that’s exactly the point I’ve been trying to make. If I don’t have something official to show my dealer, they’d well be within their rights to tell me to “pound sand”. I want to make it as easy as possible for them to say “yes”.
"will not be" as in "it presently doesn't have it" not the future tense usage of "will not be".Let’s look at what the CSR actually said:
