FordPass Pro 4+

A must for connected Ford vehicles

I recently bought a new private Ford vehicle with connected modem and installed this app to track it remotely. It works brilliantly and looks amazing.

Originally I had the regular FordPass app installed but it wouldn’t update regularly (maybe once a day) and wouldn’t give me the lock status like this app does. It also doesn’t look anywhere near as good as this.

To the developers: before you start charging for this app in the future, please overhaul the regular FordPass app using this as a blueprint as it’s so much better. I’d also love for you to add iOS widgets so I can quickly monitor my vehicle from my home screen without needing to open the app.

Get it while you can

If you’ve got a Ford that can use this app then I would strongly suggest you get it instead of the standard Ford Pass app. It’s much faster and more reliable than the consumer version of Ford Pass. The layout and design of the app has really been thought through with a very slick design. The data is always up-to-date and the lock function works immediately; unlike the consumer version.

I’d been using the standard Ford Pass app with my Tourneo since I bought the vehicle and was fairly happy with it, but felt there were a few things that weren’t implemented quite right. I was looking for an update and found that there was this Pro version which is so much better.

When you install it, they (Ford) make it clear some features may incur a charge in the future. So while it’s free I would strongly suggest you get it.

Ford, before you start charging for this app, please can you consider basing the consumer version on this and maybe pare back some of the functions? This version is so much better.

Hi! Thanks so much for getting in touch with us and your kind feedback! Charging for the app is not in our plan yet, but if it ever is, we'll definitely consider all the details. Thank you!

False Alarms on opening App

Good app in general, it does cause false alarms when accessing the app to check mileage etc, Ford, you really should sort this, I will not use the app at night or early in the morning, so as not to annoy the neighbours, this does negate the remote start and defrosting function in the winter when it is needed most. I did ask the Dealer who sold it to me to update the vehicle software as we have another vehicle that did the same and was sorted with the update, I have no time to chase all over the place to get things done, that should have been done at point of purchase, especially when it was requested maybe the dealer will sort it at a time when I can find the time, but having asked once, I’m not confident that this will be done,

Hi, thank you for your comment. I am sorry to hear about the alarm getting triggered when using the app. Could you please contact us via fppfdbck@ford.com to investigate this further and get it resolved? Thanks! MS
