What is FordPass?
Driving should be more than just getting behind the wheel. With modern technology, your vehicle can stay connected to your lifestyle. At Akins Ford, we know how important convenience and security are to our customers. That’s why we’re excited about the FordPass App. This innovative tool makes managing your Ford vehicle easier than ever, whether you’re checking your fuel level, scheduling service, or starting your car remotely.
How Connecting to FordPass Makes Driving Smarter
The FordPass App is a free mobile application that helps you stay in control of your vehicle, no matter where you are. By connecting to FordPass, you can:
- Start, stop, lock, and unlock your vehicle remotely
- Locate your vehicle if you forget where you parked
- Monitor fuel levels and oil life with real-time updates
- Check charge status for electric Ford models
- Schedule service appointments with participating Ford dealerships
- Access 24/7 Roadside Assistance directly through the app
With these features, Ford owners can enjoy a more connected and stress-free driving experience.

FordPass EV Features for Electric Ford Owners
If you drive an electric Ford, the FordPass EV tools offer even more functionality. You can:
- Find nearby charging stations, including Tesla Superchargers
- Monitor your battery charge level in real time
- Receive charging alerts directly to your phone or smartwatch
- Use Phone As A Key™, eliminating the need for a key fob
These features help electric vehicle owners stay informed and ready for the road.
FordPass Security Offers Added Peace of Mind
Security is essential when it comes to vehicle ownership. With the app’s security features, you can take extra precautions to protect your vehicle. Ford owners with the Ford Security Package can receive theft alerts if their vehicle is tampered with. Additionally, you can remotely disable your truck via the FordPass App, preventing it from being started even if someone has a key nearby.
For added safety, the app also provides access to Ford Roadside Assistance, offering help with flat tires, dead batteries, and towing services.

How Much Does FordPass Cost?
One of the best things about the app is that it’s completely free to download. There are no hidden subscription fees for basic remote features. However, your vehicle must be equipped with FordPass Connect to use certain functions, such as remote start and lock/unlock.
Is this App Available for Your Vehicle?
The FordPass App is available for most modern Ford models. If your vehicle has FordPass Connect, you can start using these features right away. Simply download the app, connect your vehicle’s VIN, and enjoy remote access to your car’s essential functions.
