I was cruising on Ford's website, looking to see if I had any Sync updates for my Expedition. I went to my Bronco page and started reading the same type of material. Under the following page I read about Bronco Sync 4.X software features and see they mention Phone as a key.

The 4.X series includes a variety of software enhancements, new features, and quality recalls for these models, both in-vehicle as well as in-app:

  • 2021, 2022, and 2023 Bronco SUV:
    • Enhancements to the Rear View Camera, software update scheduling, Flat Tow, Phone As A Key,** and Dynamic Resizing with Apple CarPlay®
    • New features include Wi-Fi® Captive Portal

**If equipped.

Anyone seen/heard/received this feature? This would be a great addition to the vehicle.

Only available for Mach-E and lightning.
Guess thats not the first thing they have had wrong on their site. I still have nightmares about the first Bronco Build and Price.

Yeah just a generic statement for multiple vehicles. Which is why they make sure to specify *if equipped

Through the Ford Pass you can lock/unlock and remotely start. You will need to have the fob to put it in drive after remotely starting.

My buddy has a Lightning and it works the same for him

Yeah, I am aware of that functionality. Useful, but not what I was hoping for.

Understood, thanks
