Ford Pass App Wish List

[Colorado Guy]

Hi All,

First time posting, have had my 2023 premium RWD extended for a couple of months and am loving it, but would love to see the following on the app:

1) Vibration for Walk Away lock. I love that it locks when I walk away, but having to check my phone to get the confirmation is about as much work as locking the door manually. It would be great if Ford had the phone vibrate as confirmation. Maybe a short-long-short or something else unique. I would like this over the car itself making a noise, or maybe that could be a user option.

2) Am I missing the indication on the app as to the status of the locks? Shouldn't it say "locked" or "unlocked" on the landing screen? It seems that it would be one of the primary reasons to have the app in the first place. I know I can just press the lock button to confirm but it seems that there should be a default indication.

3) Not as important as the first two, but would love to have the app store my proof of insurance and registration, as well as VIN and other car information so it's all in one place.

That's my wish list, curious what others think of the app and what it could use.

I believe the app always sends a push notification when this happens. You should be able to cause haptic feedback from push notifications on both iOS and Android upon the walk away lock.

As to this, this has been discussed to death in these forums. For existing vehicle hardware, it will not happen. Beta testers can probably talk about reasons in more detail, just note that it will never happen for current vehicles.

The insurance part likely makes sense if you get insurance from Ford. If you have insurance through anywhere else, not so much and generally won't happen.

As for the VIN, the VIN is there. Go under the Garage and look at the vehicle details. There's even a convenient copy button for it.

Would love to have remote control of individual climate controls (heat/cool, AC on/off, heated seats and steering wheel on/off).

Would also love a history log of OTA updates the car has received and when it received them.

Please bring back the feature that they removed "temporarily" where it logged the miles and efficiency from each drive. That feature was removed a year ago...but they said it would come back soon™...
