It's just an app you download on your phone. Your phone will have to be plugged in using usb and the app would need to be running on your phone. The downside is the app will constantly be running on your phone whenever you disconnect it, unless you hard killed the app. Neat feature, but not worth the hassle in my opinion.

This is not Ford Pass. This is another App by Ford.

The way I read it, Alexa is being integrated into Ford Pass:
Quote:
The FordPass™ Alexa skill* is now available through the Amazon Alexa app. You can now start, stop, lock, unlock, check fuel, mileage and more! Once you've added the FordPass Alexa skill to your Amazon device, you will then be able to start your vehicle remotely** by simply saying, “Alexa, ask FordPass to start my vehicle.”

I see. It appears that one integrates Alexa into Fordpass, while the other simply allows Alexa users to extend that to include their vehicle.
