Newly Designed FordPass 5.0 App®: What to Know

[Ed21]

And then there's the information I actually want but can't access. For instance, in the Service History, I should be able to see a list of OTA updates my truck has received, but it's nowhere to be found.

The dates I received the updates on are listed in my messages tab but you can’t see what the actual updates were. I think someone at Ford gave the redesign duty’s for the FordPass crapp to their elementary school age child for a school project.

New version of FordPass for iPhones:

FordPass™ 5.6.0 (10) is ready to test on iOS and watchOS.​

​

Upgrade to the latest build 5.6.0 (10) for a better experience with new features and improvements. What's New: -Check key vehicle health details at-a-glance! The vehicle health feature, newly relocated under Service, puts information including active alerts, tire pressure, oil life, diesel exhaust fluid, and odometer readings all on one screen. -Now plug-in hybrid vehicle owners can control their home charger settings from the Energy tab -You can now see the last time your vehicle connected to FordPass to update its status on the vehicle home screen.​

The last and first new things seem like good ideas. Can't comment on the middle one. Still no return of some of the features that were available in earlier versions of the app.

@JeffC57 did they add ability to add service records?

 

[JeffC57]

Nope. I did add one on the Ford Owners website a while back and it's showing up in FordPass tho.

Looks like some good stuff in this one, It seems like they are starting to get things back on track. Hopefully additional features will follow soon

Version 5.5.0 on my pass already has most of that information

Fordpass 5.5.0 (beta) for android just installed on my phone. The release notes and functionality appear to be the same as the 5.6.0 version for IOS that was reported yesterday.

 

[Mash150]

I should have clarified, my 5.5.0 is on IOS

 

[fordtruckman2003]

Just installed 5.6.0 from Google Play Store.

Only update was control of home EV charging.
Means nothing to me but I know there are some MME owners on here. Congrats on your update.

Maybe next update will do something for the rest of us? Just wait and see. I fully expected service records to be a priority. It is mentioned weekly in bad reviews and they acknowledge it will return.

Fordpass 5.7.0 (BETA) for android just installed on my phone.

Trailer light check has returned!

A new feature has been added 'alert history" I'm not sure what this does.

Service records sadly still can not be added.

 

[fordtruckman2003]

I want my zone lights back.

The hilarious thing to me is the only item they have repeatedly told people will return is service records. Then they go and add trailer light check first? WTF.

I just updated and could only get v5.6…still waiting @Ford Motor Company for you to fix your app you destroyed.

That is because 5.7.0 is BETA .... Some people in the EAP were invited to be BETA testers for the FordPass APP and @Big Dog Daddy mentioned that 5.7.0 was BETA

I got the IOS beta version of this yesterday. I'm in the Early Access Program. It's being called 5.7.0 (18) and seems to have the same enhancements (or give backs) as BDD's android beta version. I don't have a trailer to hook up so I can't test that function. Not sure if it's available to all yet on the Apple App Store.
