I hear there are two known things you need to do to have a frunk button show up in Ford Pass: 1. Have a Mach-E built after July 7th 2021, and 2. Have successfully set up your phone as a key via PAAK.
Frunk button now available via FordPass

How hard can it be to get it set up for the Job 1 builds?
Dunno. But those with Job 1 cars have suggested the actual hardware actuators etc are in it already, just need software fix. Thus sounds doable. But not by an update to an app on one's phone.

Oh ok, that makes sense. I haven’t set up PAAK. Thanks @DougL
Two thoughts come to mind: 1. Anything that depends on one's phone (like Ford pass, PAAK, Frunk button) is a disaster because everyone has a different phone manufacturer, OS, version, age, their phone skills, even Apple Inc has difficulty keeping all the phones working the same AND they are all the same manufacturer and OS and they are computer experts, Ha! 2. A silver lining of the terrible HVBJB disaster is it will force Ford to send far more $ now to buy more servers, hire more staff and more quickly improve the infrastructure that pushes out the OTAs since that saves them tons of money compared to paying dealerships to do it one car at a time. Right now it appears the OTA system in the cars works OK and the server-side may be the rate limit. If that is true, if the client side, the car, is generally working fine, that is perhaps better than if the problem was the receiving of OTAs was not working.
LOL the forward march of technology is breathtaking and unstoppable. What will they think of next?
@Ford Motor Company Will Job 1’s ever get the frunk button??
Search the posts on Macheforum, pretty sure someone recent got it via FDRS. Then did not hear about many others getting it, but have not been following that thread.
