I updated it and it still asks me to activate vehicle which I cant actually do, and it is clearly updated if 3.12 works for me but nothing past that

If the vehicle can’t activate that’s how Ford knows your location. Will the app unlock ur doors and start the truck?

best I can tell, is the tcu unit has the WiFi and hotspot built in. The connect stuff uses the pifa antenna, is it plugged in?

everything worked fine until past 3.12. Every time they updated the app I installed it and nothing past 3.12 works.

On 3.12 I can see oil life mileage lock unlock doors start the truck etc. Everything besides the location which stopped working when they released latest update.

I dont have WIFI TCU. I had this mod for over a year and after 3.12 is when some issues started to come so I just keep it on 3.12 and on my second phone I have latest version but it says action is currently unavailable. But on my phone with version 3.12 it works fine (minus location) and it is activated lol

This is second phone with latest app version:




This is my other phone with 3.12version :

Did you try a master reset on sync and then delete the vehicle from the app before uninstalling and reinstalling the Ford pass app. Then try to re-add everything? I also have one of the older units and that's what worked for me, but I also know that functionality is random lol.

Yes I did and that hasn't worked either. I guess I'll just settle for the goods on the app with stuff that works and hope the truck doesnt get stolen Haha

yea, it’s like after 3.12 it’s not reading your tcu unit. Before I added mine, all the app showed was oil life and mileage.
I would try the reset and if that didn’t work maybe update the tcu units firmware?

I am going to add the shark fin antenna to the TCU that I added to my '16 F150. I am trying to track down the part # for the cable that runs between the TCU and the antenna, does anyone have that handy?
