FordPass setup?
Anyone get this working on their 2017 yet? Biggest reason I want to set it up is to be able to remote start with my phone. Downloaded the app on my phone, input my truck's info, plugged it in to the USB with the truck running, followed all the instructions, etc.... Still don't have a "vehicle controls" tab on the phone app to access the remote start. Any insight?

Sync Connect is supposed to be rolled out to the entire lineup eventually.. hopefully sooner than later..
That said, there is a Ford RemoteAccess device that I believe can be added now..

Although there have been no wholesale breaches of security the connection can be hacked. Just make sure to follow all the appropriate security protocols and even then read up on the product through third party reviews. It was discussed here somewhere a few months ago.

Correct.. but it's not there for the remoteaccess either, but you can buy it and add it as your doing.. heck, it may be the same module....

I think you need this. The screenshot doesn't show it, but go to Ford Accessories, select a 2017 Super Duty and it should pop up on the front page. Long story short, I believe you need to install a modem.

I have been trying to figure out the same thing. My dealer told me that it had a modem and had remote features. I could not get it to work when I picked it up and he said it took 24 hours to activate. Obviously it still hasn't activated..... because it doesn't have it.
But why does my Ford Pass know my fuel gauge and mileage? Is that from Bluetooth?

Pretty sure you are 100% correct. I think the brochure says $384. Plus $60 per year for the data plan.
