The only thing I want in the Mid Package is Intelligent Access, since I've grown use to the feature in my Focus ST.

Question: Can my key be reprogrammed to give me Intelligent Access w/o the Mid Package? It seems to me that necessary the hardware is already in all Broncos, but I'm not sure. Proximity sensors are in the vehicle which allows push button start with the key in the vehicle. Anyone have technical knowledge on this issue? It would be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps - but I sincerely doubt it would be cheap.

I believe there is a sensor in the door handle that is required as well. From what I can tell on my Focus. And that sensor is read by the body controller, so at the very least I think you need to add the sensor, possibly the wiring to it, and reprogram / reconfigure body controller.

Anything is always possible for a price! But agree with @jwoobs

It'll cost you way more than Mid package itself.

The mid package seems like such a great value, unless you are going base and it isn't available, of course. I don't know for sure but usually there are additional proximity sensors required in the door handles to detect when you are nearby, and of course, the handle itself has a button on it.

the mid package IS a great value, unless you want it with a manual transmission on a BB or BD. Then you're SOL because for some stupid reason you can't get mid/manual on anything except BL.

Maybe if they allowed BD mid manual in 22 I could be convinced to upgrade my order from a base, but I'm definitely not going all the way to BL

Ford: "You can't get a manual transmission with the mid package unless you pick one specific and expensive trim"
Ford: "You can't get a manual transmission with the better engine"
Ford: "You CAN finally get a manual transmission with the sasquatch package, but you have to pay for the automatic anyway"
Also Ford: "See! I told you no one wanted a manual transmission The take rate is terrible!"
