FordPass‪™‬ 4+

I do like the app and how I can turn on and off my car, ping it using the horn/lights feature and unlock/lock the car using the app. However I use Siri regularly for smart home things like turning my lights on/off when I have my hands full or busy. So in a busy morning would be nice to say “Hey Siri, turn the car on” then have to load the app and then do it. I think this is something that can be setup within the app to give people the option to enable/disable this capability. I also don’t seem to be able to schedule my car to turn on which I heard is available for some cars. If I can use the app to turn the car on why can’t I tell the app at HH:MM turn the car on? Why is this only on some cars?

Hi, Please follow this link for instructions on how to schedule a remote start for your vehicle https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/fordpass/fordpass-remote-features/how-do-i-manage-scheduled-remote-starts-for-my-ford-vehicle-using-fordpass/
I hope this helps with your query. Thank you ^TH

Disappointed yet again, Ford have taken away more features from this app than they added, original app had a very useful journey tracker they ripped that away and replaced it with nothing, most of the app is for the benefit of the Ford company, rather than the consumer, for example, adding easy way to, subscriptions, booking your next service,etc I could see, no reason why with the technology we have, for example to be able to set up a journey on the satnav on your FordPass, rather than crawling around in the car, setting it up in the car itself, then finding that the automatic ignition cut off, and also cuts off your while your programming There are loads off technical add on they could use if they really wanted to. They may well say as I have read on other reviews they took the features a way to make the platform more stable However, this statement has appeared for well over a year now and they still haven’t sorted it.! What really makes me laugh I read somewhere in the terms and conditions that the FordPass is free to anyone buying a new car for a lifetime, and in brackets it has 10 years , surely a lifetime is a lifetime not 10 years! I think Ford needs to look at its wording, a little more accurately!

Hi Cwk11, we've forwarded your feedback to our developers. Thank you for taking out the time to send us your suggestions and we are sorry for any frustration caused ^AB

The FordPass app is a nice idea badly executed. When I first used the app many years ago with my Focus, it was helpful. It had security alerts that told me when my car doors or boot were opened. It told me not only my fuel level, but also my mileage. Mileage is useful when you’re on a limited mileage PCP or lease contract. Now, with my new Puma, it used to only tell me what percentage of fuel the car had left. It now also tells me the estimated mileage, which is distinct improvement. It will let me unlock the car remotely, but that’s of limited value when you can just open and unlock the car by touching the door handle with the key in your pocket. What’s missing are the really useful security alerts, the mileage detail, I’m certain more could be done. I am sure if you have an electric car it does way more, and when I can rely on local infrastructure to get one, I’ll enjoy it. But please make this app little more than a minor time saver. In this day it should be way more capable and functional.

Burying the odometer in service misses the point. Get users to help test the functionality of your app.

Hi hengistrob, thank you for your review. The odometer is available within the service tab on the app. If you're unable to see this, please contact us on fpgbr@ford.com - thanks ^FG
