Also anyone know if i can disable this prompt Ford Pass Connect is receiving data and location info for remote features? I know when I set this up I changed the APIM line to say that it has a Hotspot, but this particular TCU only has the Purple connector for the internal antenna did this need to be changed? I believe it was a 3xxx before.

Instruct the APIM that the TCU is hotspot capable:
7D0-02-03: 4xxx
I’m also not getting the start confirmation and I’ve tried a variety of different as built data.

So sent some info to Jamie (thank you btw) he mentioned that the reason I might not be getting the confirmations on startup might be because I have the 3 button remote. I have the remote start module installed also. Anyone else with the 3 button remote who did this modification get a confirmation that the vehicle has started? Mine starts, but I get the timeout message that the vehicle did not start.

My truck originally came with the 3 button remote however I swapped out the 315 MHZ RTM to the 902 MHz RTM and got the 4 button remote working.

I had a K series TCU I could not get to work in my 2019, I ended up getting a J series. Everything works except location, oil life, and start confirmation.

So I have confirmation of start, stop, lock, unlock,
but my remote is 4 button , , ,
Do the 3 button remotes get their own confirmation back from the truck ?
my 4 button does, a little led blinks green, or red.
If the 3 button remotes don't catch confirmation then I thinking the tcu can't find it from the rest of the remote start modules

weird that I get confirmation for lock and unlock though. Looking at the PID i can see status changes in the TCU. This will be interesting if we can all figure it out.
