Rear Intelligent Door Handles?

I feel lucky to have it in the front doors at least. My mom's mid trim level Range Rover didn't have any. Had to use the fob to lock and unlock the the car every time. What a PITA!

Me too. I had to get used to them, but now that I am, I wouldn’t mind the rear handles working the same way.

That's where we live. And she is 91 years. She replaced with a Porsche which has them now!

So, I looked into this quirte a bit. I am someone that thinks just about anything is doable. This unfortunetly this particular thing wouldnt be really pheasable. The reason the lightning has it is to accomidate Phone as Key. They iuse a totally differetn system then the F150 ICE. The door handles for the lightning go to the RFA. ICE F150 do not have that. I had looked into adding Phone as key on the ICE F150 and I didnt feel like dealing with it.

The BCM has no input for additional handles. As I said the lighting uses the RFA to handle it all. As those antenna have to be ready for Key of Phone. Two different systems.

Does anyone have the part number for the Lightning's RFA? I'd like to add intelligent access to a Lightning Pro, but I think the Pro lacks the RFA. (It may also have lack the wiring for the IA handles and RFA, but one step at a time.)

The Lightnings all have push button start, so I was hoping that adding IA wouldn't require much more than the handles, but @Jesse-Infotainment 's post above has burst that bubble for me.

Tried to find the part through the public Ford parts website, but it doesn't seem to be posted there (at least, not under the description of remote function actuator or RFA).

Any updates to the possibility of adding auto unlocking handles to the rear? My 2014 Jeep SRT8 had this feature and it was much more convenient.

Wow, it's been a while since I've started this thread. I still find myself trying to open the rear doors. I am curious if there's a mod yet to make this work... hopefully by now.

@Jesse-Infotainment would be the only one that might know. Jesse? Curious to hear what you found from your experience with the Expedition/Navigators...

Definitely keep us posted. I hope it is as simple as taping into the front handle circuit but I am curious how that will work vehicle's security/alarm wise.

It would be a bonus if there's a way for the lock button to be more responsive than having to touch multiple times to lock it - or swap it out for an actual button.
