What changes would you make to FordPass?

[F-150 Prius]

Wonder what they'll charge for that..
It may be something I need to look at.

I'm using https://www.millenicom.com/ on an old plan, $70/month unlimited maximum speed data. A similar looking plan now is $110 … I think WFH demand pushed prices up.
I tried t-mobile, which was cheaper and faster but didn't happen to work where I needed it most often.

I'm not sure about the starlink pricing, but it was $99 to sign up.

r.e. Internet service, you might want to sign up for starlink (by SpaceX / Tesla / Elon Musk) which is becoming available this year. There's also "rural Internet" which is basically a cellular phone hotspot with a big antenna. I use one of these and it's about 30Mb/s up and down (varies quite a bit and can be easily made faster with a yagi) and fast enough to watch Netflix in 4K.

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually signed up for it a couple of weeks ago. I debated for a long time after it came out, the satellites supposedly only have a 5 year life span before they start falling out of the sky, but at this point, maybe in 5 years there will be another solution, Musk hasn't been known to usually make his projection dates, but figured sign up and I have the option to cancel before the equipment ships.

I've heard of the "promise" of cellular home systems, by verizon, ATT and T-mobile all aren't offering it in our area, probably because what towers we have stay over loaded. SuddenLink is only 4 miles from our rural neighborhood, but no plans to expand, and the "office of the president at ATT" told me they are "sunsetting" dsl - I responded, "great, what's my new solution for HS internet." "um, we don't have one for your area at this time..." nice huh?

Starlink I believe is going to be $100 a month, $100 deposit and maybe $500/$600 in equipment once it ships.

I'd like them to be able to create widgets or shortcuts to be placed on an iPhone and android homescreen to directly start the truck, or lock and unlock among all other features. Being able to use these widgets to see additional statuses like fuel, generator power, zone lighting on/off and lock status directly on the phone home screen would be nice too.

Good ones..

I am not surprised that their app is not that good considering how the software on the trucks is not that stable. Just look at this forum topics about the tec problems. Both need a lot of upgrading and the programing needs to be cleaned up. With that being said, this is also the first try at the tec on the 21's. It will take some modifying to get it right. Just my thoughts.

Would be cool if they added a "sentry mode" like Teslas, where you can see what is happening around the vehicle using the cameras

Well today I am unable to access the Securi Tab.
Just spins, never loads.
So therefore I'm getting continuous alerts that my doors have been opened.
Can't turn Securi Alert off..
Anyone else see this happening???

Windows up/down with confirmation they're closed all the way. ( no bounce back)

I would just like for it to WORK! I have never been able to set a SecuriAlert "schedule." Every time I click on the "scheduler," I get the message: "Sorry, FordPass isn't responding. Please try again later." I have removed the app, updated the app several times, removed my truck and re-added it. No luck. Ford tries to blame my network connectivity... which is definitely not the problem.

But... if it worked... I think they went the wrong way with the "Home" screen with a recent release. They tried to clean it up, but left the least used information on the main screen. (Seriously, how often do I need to "Find a dealer" vs a simple status of the vehicle?

I would also *really* like to be able to easily find the version numbers of all the software modules. (Someone also mentioned that.)

I had a similar problem when I first took reigns of my new F-150. At that time I was using an old iPhone that could not update to the latest iOS software and consequently would not load the latest FordPass version. Since then I purchased a new phone with the latest IOS and the latest FordPass app version and the problem disappeared.

I wish that were my problem... while mine is not an iPhone 13, it's recent enough to load the latest FordPass version.
