According to Motor1, Ford has decided to remove the SecuriCode system from the F-150. The SecuriCode system allowed users to unlock their car by entering a code. This feature has been known as one of the popular features of the Ford F-150 for years; But now, Ford has decided to make the said system available to enthusiasts from 2025 (1404) only as an option, by dealers at an additional cost of $455.
With so many cars making the switch to smart keys and keyless entry, it’s no surprise that Ford is ditching this rather dated entry system despite its SecuriCode feature enthusiasts. Such a change marks Ford’s move toward more modern keyless entry systems; Like using a smartphone as a key through the dedicated FordPass application. The FordPass app allows users to unlock and lock the car and even start the car remotely using their phone.
Many users used the SecuriCode system for quick and easy access to their cars without the need to carry keys; But Ford believes that newer and more advanced systems can provide a better experience for users and bring more security.
Finally, such changes indicate the general trend of the automobile industry towards the use of more advanced and smarter technologies. With the advancement of technology, cars are gradually becoming smart devices that can communicate with other smart devices of users and provide a unified and modern experience. Ford also tries to be the leader in this direction and meet the needs of its customers in the best possible way.
