Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start Explained

[Garbone]

I think the upgrade door handles are probably worth $300. I will just leave my doors in the garage, problem solved.

Not having the key is a pretty big pain in the butt whether you have intelligent access or not

You can get a regular key/fob cut/copied almost anywhere like Ace Hardware.

Can’t do that with these. It’s a trip to the dealer. And it’s a pain.

If your fob falls off a cliff, intelligent access or not, you're kinda SOL

Unless you can get to it. A physical key will still open a door a FOB might not survive the fall and then you are back to having to go to the dealer to get a new one.

How the FOB gets f’d up isn’t the point here - the point is these “keyless entry/intelligent access” FOBs are A) pricey ($300~) and B) a major PITA to replace.

The system IS super convenient and I’ll still get it, but that doesn’t change the fact that they CAN be problematic in some ways.

I have something similar with my Mazda and only people who have never had it are quick to dismiss it.

Having to never take your key out is great. Don't know if Ford will have all the features of my Mazda but...

I walk up to my car (Door or Trunk), press a button on the door and it opens. Get inside, press a button and the car starts.

Then when I'm at my destination, I stop the car, get out and shut the door and the car locks itself as I walk away.

I'm probably going to have to step backwards so much going to this Bronco... but I can't take my Mazda off road

I have it currently and it’s meh. It’s nice sometimes but since I’m OCD, it’s not good when locking the doors, have to use the key fob It’s just another minor convenience that makes you more lazy to rely on technology. It’s nice and yes I will have it on my bronco, but I wouldn’t miss it if I didn’t have it

Just a question, do ANY of you guys ever remember something that looked like this??

Exactly... stop being lazy and push the button or turn the key... kids today ?

most family’s had remotes for these, AKA the youngest child

Don’t you just push the button to lock the door? Either the inside one on your way out, or the one on the exterior door handle after the door is closed?

Fob stays in your pocket 100% of the time.

Yes but I have to do it several times lol because my brain doesn’t accept it’s locked after 1 time. What I don’t like about the intelligent door access is you Lock your door then grab the handle to make sure it’s locked, but you can’t because it unlocks again it’s just me. It’s one piece of tech that is nice to unlock but dumb to lock. As long as I can get in and out with the key fob then I’m good
