2025+ Bronco keyless entry integrated b-pillar option coming?

[vjose8]

Hello all,

Longtime lurker, first time poster. I recently ordered a 2025 Bronco Badlands 4dr. and I’m researching upgrades and accessories. I was looking into getting the stick on keypad but I found it is only compatible with the 2021-2024 Broncos. I went to this website https://www.motorcraftservice.com/FreeResources/Free to lookup the installation sheet for the previous keypad. I found what appears to be a new part# for 2025+ keypads that look to now be integrated into the driver side b-pillar. I also noticed that the operating frequency (434 MHz) is different for the new keypad. Does anybody have any more information on this or know if this is now a standard option on one of the config packages or is this still going to be an add on?

Hopefully that’s not real. Because it looks awful

Even worse than then the MY'21 non-body color keypad that looked like a king size tootsie roll.

are we looking at the same thing? That looks so much better than the stick on keypad.

They're both awful.
The only difference is you can't move this one out of sight so you're forced to see it constantly

Keypads belong on the inside of the fuel door.

I like the one on my wife's Bronco Sport. It doesn't light up until its touched.

I don’t mind the fact that it is embedded into the b pillar trim, looks more integrated like the wired units. But the price of over 400.00 is ridiculous!

Yeah that's the only integrated one I would want.

Where did you see a price?

NM you just googled the part number.

I prefer the one hidden behind the gas door option...

I have my key pad in the inside of my gas cap door lid. That way I can lock my keys in the car.

Sorry, love my tootsie roll.

My 2025 MY just arrived at the dealer. I've been asking them to add a keyless entry pad ever since ordering it. Followed up last week now that it's here and the final verdict was this:

"there is apparently something wrong with the current Ford Keyless Entry Keypads that were available to dealerships so Ford put a "stop sale" on that accessory item until the issues can be resolved... Ford does not have an estimate as to when they will be available. it sounds like it could be months."

Not sure how well informed the dealership is, so take this with a grain of salt. Could be they just didn't want to deal with it and wanted to get the car off the lot quicker.
