I will start with saying I am a life long Ford guy. I have grown accustomed to always ordering the Keypad. I do not like the lack of integration on the Bronco keypad, but here is an example where it saved my butt on my F-150.
So walking out of work yesterday no different than any other day. In a bit of a hurry and running slightly late for my after work church commitment. I walk down the stairs from my office and open the Ford Pass app. Truck fob is in my backpack, so it is easier to start my truck with the app. I push my start button in the app just before my phone disconnects from the Wi-Fi in work, the app status just continues to spin. I suspect it is because of my recent disconnect from Wi-Fi, and my phone was rerouting. Anyway, by the time I get to my truck, the app is still spinning and the truck has not started. So I touch the passenger door handle with my fob still in my bag to put my bag and such in the passenger seat. Door unlocks, I toss my bag in and I go ahead and toss my phone in the truck as well. As I walk around the front of my truck to get in the drivers side, doors lock (which is customary with remote start), truck starts. Phone and fob inside. Can't call my wife to have her unlock it from her phone, cause I don't have my phone. So, long story short... keypad saved my butt. Walk right over, enter my code and the doors unlock. This was all a stars aligning perfect event, but it is something for you to think about. If I was not in a Ford with the keypad, what would I have done?
