Keyless Entry Keypad missing from 2024 Broncos?

[tropical2020]

Seems they got rid of keyless entry pads? They could have kept it for people who still want it.... wonder why they got rid of it... maybe not in high enough demand...

Hmm, interesting. I assume you mean it's not in the '24 accessory options in Build and Price?

Ford Accessories is still selling it. It's really just a stick-on wireless unit, I would think it'd still work, you'd just have to buy it separately. Although this is Ford, maybe it's out of stock for the next few months or something...

Edit: "Orders for this product could take up to 14 days for fulfillment."

Interesting, I see thanks! When I went to Ford website this morning to build the Bronco I noticed the keyless entry pad thing no longer seems to be included there... so I was wondering if they had gotten rid of it. I didn't realize it's so easy to add it afterwards

I would chalk the missing key pads up to the Rockstars doing their Rockstar thing.

As far as...

I ordered 2 dash cams that had the same message and they were delivered to the dealer within 2 days.

Ford's supply chain seems to be more voodoo and black magic than logistics and obvious sense.

But yeah, I thought it was wired through the door or something. It's just a number pad with a wireless unit and double sided tape. Some people put it on their gas cap, for instance. Technology!

Roots around in the couch cushions.

"Yeah, we got those parts! Ship it!"

Yeah LOL. I didn't realize it's just a sticker basically

built several on line this morning. keyless entry keypad doesn't show up anywhere. I also see no option for the full time 4wd with 4A. All that's listed is part time 4wd.

Anyone know if there is a third party keypad option? Maybe something smaller and more modern looking, perhaps even a fingerprint scanner version?

I'm liking the fingerprint scanning door lock I recently installed on my house door, and it cost under $50.

That would be cool. Y'know what would be awesome is a ring that functions like the remote keyless entry and maybe even allow you to start as well. Probably the need to keep it powered would make it unreliable, but that would be awesome. I guess I've not considered if these keypads need batteries.

the keypad is 110.00 at your dealer. tech programs it to your car. I took it off my 2021 and stuck it in the gas door. Then I transferred it to my 23 two door. I'm now transferring it to the 23 four door I have ordered.

Good to know. Is the Ford keypad something the user can program, or does it require paying the service center to do it? Recently I bought an extra key fob and was able to program it at home which was convenient and low cost just my time.

I don’t see the point of the keyless entry. You can lock, unlock, start, blow your horn and turn on your lights with the Ford app even on the base model. Why spend $110 on something that is attached with tape.

Although I think it sounds bonkers, some folks keep the fob inside the car and lock/unlock with the keypad.

Phones get lost, Ford pass relies on a connection, the FOB isn’t in your pocket when entry is desired. The key pad‘s only requirement is for one to have a functioning ability to remember a code. It provides another way to achieve access to the vehicle. Just another back up for those who live by the motto “ always ready”.
