b00STie Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hello Everyone, Just got my edge ST and couldn't be happier. The only thing that is bothering me is I'm not able to get the remote unlock, lock, or start feature to function with the ford pass app. I have tried the following things: Master reset Uninstall and reinstall app Create a brand new account with ford pass and add the car Unplugging the modem behind the rear seat. No idea what I'm doing wrong but for the life of me I can't get the buttons to populate in the fordpass app. Anyone have any ideas? What's weird is I am getting information on the car itself in the app. ( miles gas tire pressure etc) and I can also schedule a remote start. Not from the main page because the button is not there but on the vehicle detail page I can schedule a remote start and it works. If anyone has any ideas please let me know!

jmr061 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 It is an APP problem that other uses are also experiencing. If you have an Apple device there is a way to setup shortcuts to use voice controls or you can use the shortcuts themselves which I have found to be much faster than actually having to open the FordPass APP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00STie Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Oh okay so this is a wide spread issue and not just happening to me right now. I have an ios device I can try. Do I just ask siri or how do I setup voice command? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr061 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) I take no credit for this. Someone who is much smarter than me developed this: Run these from your iOS device. This method uses the iOS SHORTCUT APP Required Shortcuts: Install the next three in order AND RUN EACH ONE as you go along to ensure you have your settings correctly filled out. The rest of the shortcuts build on top of these 3 so once they’re working, you should be good to go for the rest. FordPass Settings (https://www.icloud.com/.../9bc1eb69fef84afebdf14c1e26db2166) - This sets up your account information as well as the VIN of the car you want to control. It also includes hardcoded values for clientId and applicationId which were pulled from the git repository. Get FordPass Token (https://www.icloud.com/.../16b5984efea8462e9897c1e58a8d9560) - This uses your login credentials and returns an auth token. Get Vehicle Status (https://www.icloud.com/.../75dfc5615d1f43e485866c12661b0e8d) - This returns a detailed JSON containing a large amount of information about your car and is used in many of the shortcuts below. I only built shortcuts that every vehicle should support but if you run this on it’s own, it outputs the JSON so you can look through what else is available. Feature Shortcuts: Start My Car (https://www.icloud.com/.../52e05449cdc24596959dca93ee6bf20c) - This will send a start command to your car but will not guarantee the car actually started. It typically takes 15-30 seconds before your car will actually start but you can check if it is running using the “Is My Car Running?” Shortcut below. Stop My Car (https://www.icloud.com/.../4f8d3221632c4a8095cf8e9d66eeb6a5) - This will stop your cars remote start Is My Car Running?(https://www.icloud.com/.../99105621a5b2406f91ef49ce173c9661) - This will let you know whether or not your car is running due to a remote start command. Lock My Car (https://www.icloud.com/.../ba30bb2568f141a5b096a3b6ca377e76) - Locks your car Unlock My Car (https://www.icloud.com/.../ab6172c868094a84b6f7d6a982959d7e) - Unlocks your car Is My Car Locked? (https://www.icloud.com/.../ac1656d2cd9c411589cdbd413df67f17) - This will let you know if your car is locked or unlocked What Is My Cars Range? (https://www.icloud.com/.../5c5bf7fc8cbd4e17893f5c36475cb437) - Range left in miles How Many Miles Are On My Car? (https://www.icloud.com/.../254d268ba9df4e84b93380894dfe5567) - Odometer reading in miles What Is My Cars Oil Life? (https://www.icloud.com/.../c4eb2605a4fa4b8fb1fa8fd16541c965) - Oil life as a percentage Where’s My Car? (https://www.icloud.com/.../cc151cb9229a49119814bd72b981be7b) - This opens Apple Maps with a pinned location of your car Notes: This may only work in the US based on the API naming but I would assume these could be updated with the corresponding regional APIs if someone can find them These may also work on Lincoln Vehicles but someone with a Lincoln would have to confirm that Run each shortcut manually through the ShortCuts APP the first time to set up permissions The Ford APIs may change/disappear at anytime and may not always be reliable This works for the FordPass APP only Edited January 18, 2021 by jmr061 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00STie Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Thank you!! I will give this a try. I really appreciate your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr061 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 it took me a bit to get it setup and working but it works really well. Two things I had to do were first go into the settings of SHORTCUTS and turn on allow untrusted shortcuts and then I had to setup a dummy trusted shortcut before it would allow any untrusted shortcuts to be add. then i went in and deleted that shortcut once I had everything working. Let us know how it works for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be worth a try to see if my Google home would work and wallah...working great! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b00STie Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I got it working by connecting my Google assistant with the ford pass app. Here is the link to connect the Google assistant with your fordpass account. All you do is sign in and it connects everything. https://assistant.google.com/services/a/uid/000000ac1d2afd15?hl%3Den-US&hl=en-US&jsmode=o&source=web&source=web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
