I finally got around to performing the heated steering wheel retrofit on a my23 platinum this weekend. All went well and my goodness the heated steering wheel is so nice.
Thanks to all in this thread who shared information and made the job easy.
A couple of notes & personal opinions:

I am officially a member of the cupholder, media bin, glovebox, hvac control, and heated steering wheel retrofit group.
Thanks to @JHForman812 for the harnesses...and taking my call and responding within seconds to emails to help get me through.
Thanks @Braeden for your guide on how to do a...
Hey @Tmac. Is this happening all the time or intermittently?
During my situation I was texting @Jesse-Infotainment . After he understood the root problem was the transceiver under the cup holders coming unplugged, he mentioned he should have had me test holding the key fob next to the...
I'm guessing this only applies to Lightning, however, it does list Kansas City as an assembly plant.
If this works out for ICE, I suppose I'll have some parts sitting around that I'll need to get rid of. Maybe sometimes is pays to procrastinate (aka work the wife's to do list instead of mine).
No regrets. First 3 months were in consistent < 40 degree weather. I wasn’t impressed with electric mode and mpg. Last couple of months have been > 70 degree and mpg is looking good and electric mode lasts longer and activates more frequently in city driving.
Most of my driving is...
Update:
The issue was fixed a week or so ago.
The cable that connects to the key transceiver was unplugged. The service tech believes it was not completely secured from the factory and eventually worked its way lose.
Tow, loaner, and repair was all covered by Ford.
I do still love my truck.
I was awoken this morning to my wife handing me my ringing phone. It was the service department manager and she apparently doesn’t waste any time taking care of business. I filled her in on the latest…that the truck was in their parking lot and still having the issue. She let me know they...
Sorry to leave everyone hanging…here is the latest:
Saturday night I ended taking a flyer and called another dealership about 50 minutes before they closed. The first sales person that answered the phone gave me the standard “sorry service is closed for the day not much we can do”. I asked to...
I ran through some things with Jesse including the pulling both batteries(powerboost).
Jesse is awesome but we are limited in what we can do in this particular circumstance.
The strange thing is, I can lock/unlock and remote start with the keyfob just fine.
I went to the closest Ford...
I'm running through some things with Jesse.
Getting the cover off the aux battery has been a challenge for me. It is a powerboost with fold flat storage. Would appreciate any tips getting the cover off.
Edit: Nevermind on the aux battery cover. It is now off. In slightly related news, I...
I shared the VIN with Jesse.
I am at the truck now and awaiting feedback from Jesse before proceeding with pulling the battery.
Edit: Same behavior as last night. The exact error message is shown in the image below
Long-time lurker, first time poster.
I'm posting here in hopes someone else has experienced this same issue and know how to resolve it.
The background: Driving into work yesterday was great, getting into the truck to go home was and still is a nightmare.
A have a 2023 F150, and when I...
