Hey “Sport” and “ Apple” fans, we all know the FordPass is a decent app to get information on your Bronco Sport and schedule vehicle start times, etc. However I was bummed that I couldn’t use Siri or my Apple Watch to communicate with my Baby Bro. Well I did a search and found how this can be accomplished by using Siri Shortcuts! I have provided the link below on how to configure if you are interested.

I also dedicated a page on my phone specifically for my Bronco so I can easily recall commands. If there is enough interest I will create a video showing how it works and explain how I set this up on my phone. Please remember this is only for iOS users.

*all the commands are pretty self explanatory, however “How Old is BB” tells me how many miles he has.

Very cool, going to try this soon. Is the start button in this configuration 'instant'? One thing I like about FordPass is that you have to press and hold to start.

I had the Ford Pass app on my Apple watch was was able to start up my BS OB. I just saw your post, and double checked my watch, and the Ford app is now gone WTH ?. Although there was a delay, it was fun to use.

They removed the Apple Watch Ford Pass App a month or so ago.....since it was riddled with bugs after every update. I got a message on the Ford Pass App stating that they are working "hard" to bring back the Apple Watch Ford Pass app in the "future."

it isn’t instantaneous, as commands need to be sent to the cloud then to your Sport. But it typically takes less than a minute for the command fully execute. But to answer you question once you say the command or hit the icon it will send the command.

Just as @Blizzard35 mentioned Apple Watch support was removed last month. So this is definitely a work around until they bring it back. But for me I enjoy utilizing the capabilities of my devices to seemlessly integrate. ?

All shortcuts will run as soon as you tap them but within the shortcuts app you can set it up to use Siri shortcuts. That's what I have played around with so you can say, "Hey Siri start my car" and then within a minute your car is running.
