That's interesting. I did that exactly. 2015, Sync3 swap first, then FordPass Connect, and mine is also broken.

I purchased a TCU, wiring harness that taps into the Sony amp, and the two antennas. I installed everything and was able to get the app to work easily. Only problem I’m running into is that I am not seeing the hotspot in the sync 3 settings. I can see a locked wifi network available, but do not know the password. I made the suggested changes in the beginning of this thread with no changes. I also can see the ESN in the sync 3 settings so I know they are talking at least a little. Any ideas?

Either you didn't program the APIM for the Connect Wifi settings to appear or the firmware in the APIM is to old to support it.

I'm currently on sync 3.4, does cyanlabs update the firmware too, or just the software version?

Strategy according to forscan is HB5T-14G374-CA

Default WARNING!!!!!! Don’t update to new version of Ford Pass

Do not update to the new version of Ford pass (3.21.0)if By any chance you unauthorized your vehicle you won’t be able to re-authorize with this new app, At least if you keep it authorized you can use Siri to start unlock and use all the commands

I am running ios 14.5 and Ford Pass 3.21.0 and figured what the heck. I'll see if I can mess up my retro fitted 16 Edge. Master reset it then it authorized just fine. No issues.
