Now I can cross that off and move on to adding the heated wheel!

Ha, technically I still have to attach my antenna, but that's easy lol. Would have definitely taken less time if I sat and focused on it lol

Sometimes the oil use information takes a few days to update, for whatever reason.

If it makes you feel better, my truck with Sync Connect from the factory has never shown oil info or individual tire pressure info. I think it depends on the TCU firmware or hardware revision. I've never looked into it.

not 100% sure yet but I connected my phone via a charging cable to the truck sync, and launched the FordPass app on the apps tab on sync and now I have the oil life showing on my app, so I think it doesn’t send oil life via the modem it does it when you connect the truck to your house WiFi or you connect the phone to the truck

HI,
I wanted to announce that I forced to work TCU module from the Focus4 EU car to work in Escape 2018. Still some problems with car information (fuel, tmps, location), but locking and remote start works

It makes sense that App Link plays some role because at one point I thought I had it working. Trouble here is, I can't test it right now because my truck is sitting in an airport parking lot 3,000 miles away.

Congratulations. I'm a bit surprised @Au{R}oN isn't the first. He was working on it too. Did you use the TCU model with 3 antenna?
