Well, that didn't take long. No more keyless entry pad on 2024 Broncos

I assume these use a battery to transmit the RF. easy to change, and how long do they normally last?
thanks,
Greg
The manual that came with mine says the battery is not serviceable

it was the one option I wanted and failed to check when I configured mine. I bought the correct one for Lux and had the dealer program. Cost me the same since online and dealer did it for $45 during an oil change.

This is where it should have been anyway.

I agree. Thatā€™s where I want to put mine, but wifey wants it stuck inside the fuel door. (I should have never mentioned that option lol)

I get it. The Bronco is mine, but my wife and I also had Ford keypads before, so she embraces the convenience and function. I use the Bronco pad several times per day. The height is perfect as a six foot person. Weā€™ve had a few Lincolnā€™s and really became used to having it. Iā€™m contemplating buying another pillar cover and trying to better integrate it. The texture matches good right out of the box. If someone was never a big Ford keypad user, the fuel door is a good spot. I see why ford killed it. 90% of people with them at work donā€™t have them programmed or know how to use them. I installed a console safe in the. Bronco so I donā€™t have to take my phone. If this moves to phone only, that sucks for an adventure vehicle.

Update - They were finally able to program my keypad for my 2024. Pretty sure it was a ford programing issue that took a bit to be fixed.

Thanks I will check with the dealer again. Does anyone with a 2024 have confirmation yet that they were able to program adding the keypad?
Ours is supposedly in the mail.

Engineers can only think inside their little illogical perfect world.
Weā€™ve programmed them all to the same code since our ā€˜98 Explorer. Itā€™s super handy for other family members to access our vehicles when weā€™re away or weā€™re all at the beach, the lake or camping. Probably has saved us from ever loosing any keys or fobs.

The code you found isnā€™t for the keypad.

I have a 24 without keyfob auto start. Buddy at work has a Bronco and had an extra keypad so he tossed it my way. Itā€™s never been installed on a vehicle. Will I be able to have a dealer install it for me? I saw some stuff insinuate that itā€™s vin specific and might now work so Iā€™m unsure.

They arenā€™t VIN specific at all, so it should work fine. Just needs to be programmed by your dealer.
