FordPass could be a backup but you would otherwise need a locksmith at that point.what happens when you lock your keys in the bronco and the batteries in the keypad die? can you get in or are you stranded?

Also, you might loose the fob in the ladies restroom at the mall.Presumably if you have a Bronco, you would be into adventure stuff such as skiing, hiking, biking, canoeing, etc. where taking a Key FOB that could get damaged, lost or submerged is not ideal.
very unlikely as it's powered by the car battery i thinkwhat happens when you lock your keys in the bronco and the batteries in the keypad die? can you get in or are you stranded?
I think you upsold me on both.The Auxilliary switches are already connected to the fuse box. There is a short pigtail for each under the dash and the other end comes out under the hood. The Owner's Manual will list which switches are fused to what amperage.
The keypad is an awesome feature. I have had it on several vehicles.
Looks like it is battery operated. I suppose it is the same as the keypad for my garage door. Which reminds me, I need to replace that battery!very unlikely as it's powered by the car battery i think
Yeah, so funny story about that... was mountain biking once, took a pretty good spill. Guess my keys were in my Camelbak in an open pocket and must've flew out. Obv didn't realize until I got back to my car. Couldn't get into the car. Was in an area with no cell service. So Onstar couldn't help. Plus all they could do was open the car for me, not start it. Had to find a phone in a restaurant and asked to use it to call my wife to bring the backup set of keys. She packed up the baby, got in her car and drove like an hour from home. (she was thrilled )2. Kayaking/Mountain Biking/Dirt Biking?etc...zero chance of losing keys when doing any outdoor activity.
Pays for itself right there. Crazy story, at least your wife brought you the spare, not 100% mine would do the same, at least not right away...Yeah, so funny story about that... was mountain biking once, took a pretty good spill.

So it does have it's uses. If you plan on being in area's with no cell service.
PSA: always, ALWAYS attach your car keys to whatever pack you're wearing.
It isn't movable. I think that guy was suggesting he would hide his actual key behind the gas door.I have had them on previous vehicles. However, it was suggested that it is movable (to under the gas cap filler door). That would be news to me as I thought it was hardwired. I am assuming it has NOT evolved to a non-hardwired version.
On the raptor the aux switch wires are on the pass side under the hood easy to work with.The Auxilliary switches are already connected to the fuse box. There is a short pigtail for each under the dash and the other end comes out under the hood. The Owner's Manual will list which switches are fused to what amperage.

Most Ford Keypads are invisible until you touch them. The one going on Bronco is a stick on one. Looks cheap and cost $110.Ford Pass is completely separate from the keypad. Ford Pass is a cell phone app, the keypad is a physical device. Look at almost any other Ford to see what the keypad might look like.
