I also have one on my F150 and know just what you are talking about. Ford does have one that can stick to you door and basically acts as a key pad Fobe, you have to key sync it to your key fobe and your good to go. I have tried leaving my key in my mustang and locking the door with the touch handle so I'm not sure if that would work.
because marketing is listening to stupid people and the engineers don't know when to say "get lost". Indeed too many engineers think tech is always good and are guilty of making fragile toys instead of stupid-proof appliances.
Where can I get the phone App?
TBF, iPhone’s aren’t out in the weather.
The Ford Pass app. However, it’s only available for 2018+ models.
This old iphone 6 that I’m using right now has been beaten, submerged, splashed on with sand and mud, and it reads my fingerprint just fine. I’m sure it’s not hard for engineers to further “weather proof” a fingerprint scanner sitting idly on a side of a Mustang.TBF, iPhone’s aren’t out in the weather.
It hasn’t been frozen or covered in pollen and/or bird poop, though. You’re also looking a likely a minute or so at most with your phone vs hours/days with a car.
This made me chuckle...
The Ford pass app is also available on 17 models, maybe earlier. I have it on my 17 F150 and 17 Mustang.TBF, iPhone’s aren’t out in the weather.

It allows the unlock/lock and remote start functionality on a 17? For some reason I thought the wifi modem started with late 18 models, but maybe it was late 16 models...?
They'd have to pay me to have a visible keypad on my car. And I don't need one since the doors unlock automatically when my hand touches the door handle. Even if I mostly just drove the car to a high crime beach for swimming, I'd rather have my fob surgically implanted than look at a keypad. LoL
You guys do know that modern Ford/Lincoln “keypad” is completely invisible unless you’re touching it, right?
