Bronco FordPass Connect

[mattrb87]

Quick video showing some of the remote features and capabilities to operate the bronco through the FordPass app on your phone!

Some previous Ford owners already have this on other vehicles, but this is new to me and very neat!

I vote BN continues to let this guy do all their videos.

I was just thinking this...great my engine won't start because files on the ECU are encrypted. Double edge sword of convenience these days. But now I am wondering if I can install Palo Alto firewall in my Bronco.

Good idea but the app is incredibly buggy and slow. Also my 2018 expedition has a feature to flash the lights and honk the horn but my 2020 f250 doesn't, it appears the bronco doesn't either which seems pretty stupid. I think it would be cool to add the window roll down feature to the app aswell since we can do it from the key.

Another reason to have 7MT ...

The remote start is nice to use during cold weather, thats all I ever used on the app. I never lost my truck so didnt need to use the finder option.

So, all I need is someone's VIN to start their car?

No, you have to be inside the vehicle and accept the on-screen prompt to connect to the vehicle. I would hope there's other fail safes if someone is riding around with doors/top off.

I would also guess that the VIN can only be connected under one ford pass account user. So if it’s connected under someone else then they would have to remove the vehicle first from there account….?

Anybody else register their Bronco on their Ford Pass App? I did earlier this week, and found Ford has already uploaded all the relevant information on the Bronco…. Screenshot below:

Apparently the location app is good in case your car is stolen. Richmond Ford reached out to me after I sold my ‘20 Raptor last year because the new owner had it stolen in Maryland. Sadly he/she hadn’t registered it on the App and we’re asking if I still had it on mine so they could track it’s whereabouts.

My 2019 F-450 gained the "flash the lights/honk the horn" feature with the last (iOS) App update. I bet it's some kind of App bug that it doesn't work on your 2020. I bet if you remove the truck from the account and add it back it would pop up. Does your App show the DEF level (assuming 6.7L)? It still doesn't on mine even though it was a listed "feature" of the update.

It does not, only fuel and oil life.
