FordPass Connect

FordPass Connect is a feature available on Ford trucks and SUVs at Schicker Ford in St. Louis. It offers enhanced convenience to vehicle owners through various connected services and functionalities, which are facilitated by an embedded modem in the vehicle that communicates with the secure Ford cloud service via cellular technology.

Key Features and Benefits of FordPass Connect:

  • FordPass App Integration: Vehicle owners can use the FordPass app to connect to and control certain vehicle functions remotely. These functions include starting the engine and locking or unlocking the vehicle, adding convenience to the ownership experience.
  • Complimentary Connected Services: The remote features available through the FordPass app, such as locking, unlocking, stopping, starting, vehicle location, and vehicle health information, are provided as complimentary services. This allows owners to access important information about their vehicle and manage some functions remotely without additional costs.
  • 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot: FordPass Connect includes a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, enabling occupants to connect their devices to the internet while inside the vehicle. This feature requires a monthly service contract through AT&T, and owners typically get a trial period of three months or up to 3GB of data usage for free before needing to subscribe.
  • Partial Activation: For 2022 and newer model year vehicles, FordPass Connect comes partially activated when the vehicle arrives at dealerships. This partial activation allows sharing of diagnostic or vehicle health data. However, to access all the connectivity features fully, such as remote lock, unlock, and remote start (not available on vehicles with manual transmission), owners will need to complete the activation process.
  • Connected Services: FordPass Connect provides access to various connected services, such as the Alexa Skill (At Home) integration, which likely allows users to interact with Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant through the vehicle. Other connected services include the ability to locate the vehicle and check approximate fuel range, as well as receive vehicle health alerts.

Overall, FordPass Connect enhances the ownership experience by providing remote control and access to valuable vehicle information through the FordPass app and integrated connected services, making it easier for owners to stay connected with their Ford vehicles.
