You're the man! I tried this several tiles with different versions other than 3.12.0 and nothing worked until I got this version of the app. Thanks again!
Is there something special you have to have or do to have scheduled starts? I've had this mod for about a year and I do get oil life and vehicle details tire pressure (monitored only and not actual PSI per tire) and start stop lock unlock ans gps functions but no scheduled smart start. Not really a necessity but more a curiosity as to why I dont see/have it.
thank you!

It disappeared for me a few months ago and only came back when I factory erased my iPhone and setup everything again from scratch. It also cured the app causing extreme battery drain issues on iOS. Apple has been adding a lot of privacy features lately and Ford Pass is getting more intrusive. I can't say the two are related, but the Ford Pass app and iOS just haven't been playing nice together for the last several builds.
Got my TCU installed in my 2016 XLT F-150. TCU came from a 2017 Escape. Used a factory antenna mounted to the rear wall. Have a Gen1 Sync 3 module updated to 3.4.
Activation popped right up and my app shows the start/lock/unlock buttons. I also get oil life and my serial number shows in Sync. However, when I go to do any commands, the app just spins and the truck never receives the command. Not sure if it is something I need to wait on or if it is something else?
Before the issues with the Ford Pass app began it was common for people who've done this retrofit to have to wait a day or two before it would magically start working for no apparent reason. I say just wait a few days. The antenna could be an issue, but I seriously doubt it. Also, disable wifi on your phone when testing it for the first few times. It's just one less thing to troubleshoot.

I was able to get the Siri Shortcuts to work from the Ranger site, so it is definitely an app issue. Originally got confused because I thought most were not able to even see the buttons in their app where mine showed right away. All good now with Siri. Thanks to you an everyone else on this awesome mod.
I just had a problem with Ford Pass not working on my own iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 14.3. I have factory installed Sync Connect.
I considered a factory restore of the phone but first I tried a bunch of random things between resets such as disabling screen time which acts as a firewall for all apps, switching iOS date and time manually to tomorrow & automatic in different order. I signed in and out of everything I could think of. I also hard reset the iPhone between all the attempts and functionality was restored to Ford Pass after a few tries.
Neilc1's Ford Pass app is still working with his 2015 Sync 2-equipped F150. He's on an iPhone 8 with iOS 14.2, Ford Pass App 3.14.0... so I'm starting to think iOS 14.3 is contributing factor. Apple's been on their privacy crusade and maybe the Ford Pass app developers tweaked a global background process for compliance sake and accidentally broke something as a result.
I know there are Android users who also have the same issues, but for those of you on iOS with problems, is it correct to say you are on iOS 14.3 and using Ford Pass 3.14.0?

Agreed, it's definitely the app. I just tried the Siri shortcuts tonight and they do work nicely. Here's the link for the setup instructions if anyone else is interested and hasn't seen them yet:
Well I got an older module from a 2018 I now get an ignition status on forscan and this popped right up in FordPass but no activation button. I reset the module by putting it into factory mode and back again and it says wait for authorize. I’m assuming this is the part where it could take a while? Days? Weeks?

Yes, I am on iOS 14.3 with an iPhone 8 Plus and FordPass 3.14. Was able to activate right away and got buttons, they just don’t work.
