If you want to make car ownership ultra-convenient, you can download the FordPass App on your smartphone. With this app, you can instantly access remote vehicle services, earn rewards, and much more. Check out all the ways the FordPass smartphone app can elevate your ownership experience. 

To access convenient services on your smartphone, simply download the FordPass mobile app from the Google Play or Apple Store. FordPass is a free app that is compatible with virtually all new Ford vehicles. When you download the app, you will need to make an account and add your vehicle by adding your VIN and other relevant information. Once your FordPass account is activated, you can use all eligible features.

FordPass Connect

FordPass Connect is a suite of remote vehicle services that come standard on new Ford models from 2021 onward. Remote vehicle features allow you to start your engine or unlock car doors from your smartphone on the FordPass home screen, stay updated on your recommended maintenance intervals, and even gather basic vehicle health reports. 

The FordPass Connect suite ensures your vehicle is ready for the road with a scheduled engine start. This is a key feature that allows you to select a time for your engine to start, such as if you want to warm up your vehicle in the winter. If you have an electric Ford, FordPass Connect allows you to check your battery charge level or use your phone as an entry key. 

FordPass Rewards

Enrolling with FordPass also allows you to collect reward points that can be redeemed at your local dealership when you purchase a new car, buy replacement parts, or upgrade your vehicle with genuine Ford accessories. You can earn points with cash back on qualifying purchases with a FordPass Rewards Visa or earn points by buying certain Ford vehicles, such as hybrids and electric cars. 

FordPass Service

One of the biggest conveniences of using the FordPass mobile application is the ease of scheduling service for your vehicle. You can schedule service at your local dealership at a time that works for your busy schedule using the app to reserve a time slot for your vehicle maintenance. This can save you time in the long run since you can easily reschedule and avoid walk-in wait times for service. 

Ford Security Package 

If you have a 2024 Ford F-150 or a new 2025 Super Duty truck, you also get the benefit of the Ford Security Package. This advanced package monitors your truck to automatically disable the engine, locate a stolen vehicle, and notify you if someone is tampering with your vehicle.
