Having your Ford ownership experience be as owner-friendly as possible is the goal for our Benna Ford Team. One way for many Ford owners to enhance their ownership is to use the FordPass app which is easily downloadable from either the Apple Store or Google Play, allowing you to interact with your brand new Benna Ford vehicle remotely through your smartphone in all kinds of useful ways via the FordPass Connect Service.
Let’s start by going to the Benna Ford FordPass download page. You will need to enter your Ford’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can find your VIN in the locations listed below. It is a long combination of letters and numbers so bring something to record the number.
- Title and sales purchase documentation and possibly your insurance card.
- The inside of the driver’s door jamb under the latch.
- Under the base of the windshield, on the driver’s side (visible from outside the vehicle).
The Benna Ford FordPass page will show you where to enter your VIN. The site will confirm if your model has FordPass Connect Service.
Put FordPass to Work
With the Ford Connected Service and FordPass app, you now have a surprising level of access to your new Ford, via your smartphone and tablet.
As an example, if you are unsure if you locked your car, you can lock it remotely. Not line of site remotely such as you can do with your key fob, but blocks away remotely. Or even from one coast to another remotely. This can be convenient if you need to unlock your car to give someone you know access to the inside. If it the weather is freezing outside, you can start your car from anywhere and have it warmed up and warm inside by the time you get there. If you know when you will be getting in your car, you can even set a time in advance for it to start.
On a single display you can check you can easily check several aspects of your vehicle status including:
- Fuel status, including an estimate of many miles you have in your tank based on your recent driving.
- Charge status (for EVs) with the same available operating miles figure
- Odometer
- Individual tire pressure
- Oil life with an estimated date and distance until a recommended change
Leaving the stadium after the big game? FordPass will show you where you parked. Or you can check on your Ford’s location after you have lent it to someone.
FordPass helps you in other ways as well. Within the FordPass app, select Benna Ford as your preferred auto service provider for access to our phone number, website, hours, and directions, all on a single display. When traveling, the FordPass app will show you the Ford dealerships near your location with directions using your choice of Google or Apple Maps. After the service, FordPass will retain the reward points you receive upon servicing your vehicle at a Ford dealership. As your reward points accumulate, you can use these points to pay for future service, accessories, or even apply them toward your next Ford vehicle purchase.
The Maps display will also assist in locating points of interest, such as gas and charging stations, parking, and collision repair. Your FordPass app also provides roadside assistance, located on the upper right of the main display.

Upon financing your vehicle with Ford Credit, the FordPass app menu assists you there as well, enabling you to view your current statement and make your next payment, along with your message center displaying important notifications, service reminders, and recall notices. Just one click will give you all the necessary information for your safety and comfort.
FordPass also includes a digital owner’s manual specific to your vehicle, along with a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section to assist in instant answers for your Ford questions.
