Newly Designed FordPass 5.0 App®: What to Know

[fordtruckman2003]

Oh I forgot to add this bit.

My mom has an Ecosport and now she can remote start it but we don't know it is running without looking out window. It's quiet and the app now doesn't tell her it is running. It just says "parked" all the time. She had issues with it in past with the spinning thing to start so I'm happy for the slider being easier for her at least. Now we just need the app to confirm the car is running before winter comes.

there’s a new one for me. I guess I don’t have any gas?

I’m also running the dev build of IOS 18.0, so that might be a factor.

The app stills shows my truck on all the time so the one feature it had left from before also doesn’t work. What’s the point? I deleted and downloaded the app again, same thing.

5.0.3 for Android was just released and installed on my phone. NOTHING NEW! No features added, no service record entry.

Are these new on the update, maybe I just never noticed before.

That has been there since v5. I think it was in old app just on another screen like everything they have moved around.

But the new app is so much cleaner! ? Because they either removed the feature, or moved it to one of the many buried pages.

Only good thing I can say so far is they have done updates almost weekly. If the comments from Ford support are true they will eventually add back a feature or two. I'd like to see the app correctly show vehicles running vs parked. Being able to add time to running vehicle again would be nice but it needs to know it is running to do that not say parked.

Canadian version only shows "Roadside Assistance". No Collision Assistance.. 5.0.3

I just added time to my running vehicle today. Almost 100° out and remote started from inside Costco, then added another 15min. 4.xx FTW. Although I did have to hold the button down for a couple seconds...

I added time today in 5.0.2 but has to be done immediately after starting. Tomorrow I'll see if I can open app and see truck already running and add time. I doubt that was fixed yet but I can hope.

5.0.3 does now show my service records, although the data is as ever.

Yes, so did 5.0.0. 0.1, and 0.2 but, I'm waiting for them to add back the ability to add your own records as you could in 4.x.x

I checked mine today just for kicksd I can see service records. None yet because I've only got 1100 miles on F150 and my location is now correct. It also showed that my Explorer was in some kind of battery saving mode. Battery has been dieing for some time. Replaced this afternoon after work.

I'm more about trailer lights and PPOB controls.
