Just got a May ‘25 build Flash and I’m loving it!! The materials I have found indicate it should have Approach Lighting and Walk Away locking. Mine has neither.

Is this something my dealer should be able to enable, or do I wait for a OTA?

Interesting fact - my previous ‘22 XLT did get Approach Lighting via OTA. I found it interesting my Flash didn’t have it!!

Thanks in advance!!

I have to look up my build date, I got my truck on September, but I do have the approach lighting and walk away lock.

Not as far as I know. I haven’t seen any options or menu for that in my truck or on the window sticker.

Do you have the on/off slider in the center stack for wal?

I have the options for WAL in my 25 Flash but not in the app, although I'd really love PAAK. Not really sure how WAL is supposed to work because it doesn't seem to lock.

The Job 2 trucks in Flash trim lost a LOT of great standard features. Tailgate step, wireless phone charger, door keypad, etc. It's pitiful.

Yeah, mine is Job 2, I checked the VIN to see what my actual battery size was...Still pretty great but had I known, I would've made the drive to Houston and got a Platinum. There were only 2 Flashes on the lot, I bought the black one after insisting I was going to buy the white one. While I was getting the keys, the other family was in finance getting the white one. I was skeptical of the step ladder when I bought it, but as it turns out, when you're not getting any younger.... As a side note are the lightning beds higher than the ICE? Sure seems to be.
