Correct. What I'm pointing out is that those "supply issues emerged" long after the pandemic began in 2019. Consequently, kick-to-open was not deleted until some time in 2022. We can let AtomicInternet slide on calling the 2021 cars "pre-pandemic', even though, yes, technically, people were getting sick in Wuhan before those cars got delivered to customers.
No, we can't. Auto manufacturers went to a "Just in Time" method of parts inventory management a long time ago. Which means that the parts used were produced less than 3 or 4 months prior to the car being built. I.e right in the middle of the pandemic.
Kick-to-open was deleted at the end of 2021. While a lot of 2022 cars might have the hardware installed, the feature didn't come activated, and the feature is absent from the window sticker, and the order guide put out in December 2021 no longer shows it as an available feature.
Sure we can. Parts were manufactured during the pandemic, but before the effects of the pandemic caused sufficient parts shortages to induce Ford to delete the feature.
Yeah, after three years of exclusively using PAAK, I’ve accepted that it’ll never be as good as the fob. I used to stubbornly keep my phone in my front pocket and wait for the car to detect to it. Now I’ve given up on that, too. If I pull my phone out and wake it up, the car seems to detect it much faster. It’s a compromise I’m willing to make to not carry the fob.
I use kick to open all the time in my 23 model. I had to install it so I figure I should use it.
A buitton would be nice for those who use their Frunk a lot, but isn't the control in yur Ford Pass app?
I don't have those options on my app? Just locks & HVAC.A buitton would be nice for those who use their Frunk a lot, but isn't the control in yur Ford Pass app?
Do you have a button called "Controls" next to the lock button? Try that if you do.
Same. PAAK has been pretty flawless for me from the beginning, but I don't trust it and carry a fob in my pocket all the time.
You must set up Pone as a Key (PaaK) before those options are available. ??
AH! Thanks. Been on this forum for more than three years and I still learn new things all the time!
A physical frunk button right above the release lever seems like overkill to me. I would rather have a physical lift gate button. We already have two ways to release the frunk lid from inside the car, not including the FordPass app. As for the lever not being in a convenient spot, car hood levers have always been in a similar spot for safety reasons. ?

lol.... this is quite funny! Like Ford is intentionally setting itself up for angry customers ....?
