Newly Designed FordPass 5.0 App®: What to Know

[zacko11288]

Looks like the add button showed up for me sometime overnight. I’m guessing an app restart or something triggered it to show up.

There were folks over on the lightning forum reporting they had to clear the cache on the app to get to show up. Glad to hear it's working for everyone

Just updated my IOS FordPass app and add service has also been restored.

I'm still on 5.8 with my Android phone and when I go to the play store it only gives me the option of opening the app but no option to update to 5.9. Any suggestions?

Hey Mark,
I just got offered FP App for my Galaxy Watch6 Classic today, 12/3/24. Installed it and it worked.
Neither iPhone v5.9.0 nor Android v5.8.0 have ability to Add Service Records, yet.

Been thinking about finally upgrading from my Watch3 (Tizen) to get this.

It's good that they're rolling it out onto other smartwatches.

My Apple Watch 9 looks a bit different.

Can you give a feel for how reliable is it on Apple Watch?
On Galaxy Watch I had great luck last night but this morning (after One UI update) it seems much less reliable.

I’ve been using 5.9.0 on my Apple watch since I updated through the EAP and haven’t had a fail yet. Actually, I haven’t had any problems for at least the last few updates.

I think the latest version I got over the weekend v5.8.3, is glitchy as hell!!!

I remotely started the truck yesterday via the app and it never confirmed it had started. I peeked through my driveway cameras and sure enough it was ON. On Monday it just kept "spinning" trying to remote start, but NADA, the FOB was able to do so w/o issues.

Hurry up and wait...all you can do. I am waiting like yourself.

@Kanuck did you not get 5.8.3 which as far as I can tell didn’t change anything from 5.8.2 iOS app .

 

[Kanuck]

Android with 5.8.0

And there's something "off" about v5.8.3, which is very glitchy, remote starts via the app are not working half the time this week, for me.

The last 2 updates I have had to delete and re-add for iOS. Version now shows as 5.9.

I tried searching but couldn't find anything....

When using my truck for towing my RV trailer, is there a way that I can use the Ford Pass app on my android phone to remotely turn the truck on in generator mode? I know it can remote start, but I really just only want it to go into generator mode, so while in the camper I can run things like my coffee maker etc, and then turn off... all without having to exit the camper.

I know... first world problems... LOL...
