Got a call from my salesman, moved from Oct 15 to July 8 ETA. Hope it holds.

Edit to say July, not June.

I imagine it will, it seems like they're getting these all sorted out in that timeframe one-by-one.

Just had my Ford Pass activate pending denied. I can remember someone on the forum having that happen, they mentioned something like 30 or 45 days it will default denie you. Mine was roughly 16 days from when I pressed it. Fingers crossed someone hoped in the truck to move it and denied me.

I think you have to take delivery before you can activate right? I mean it’s not your truck yet.

You can hit the activate button on the phone app at any time and it will say pending, then the prompt shows up on the dash screen to allow or deny. All you need is a Vin and when the correct modules are installed in the truck it'll show the activate button. Of course it won't allow connection unless you are at both truck and phone but it will stay pending for a while.

It would appear sometime during our build week FordPass or Sync updated to give you an error if you tried to activate it.

That happened with a few of us too, I think after 2/3 days the error went away for majority of us and sat on pending.

This is the new message.

Guess it doesn’t say error anymore.

This is what mine says, it said "something went wrong" for a few days then this.

It seems that way, but I hope my delivery ETA doesn’t get pushed out again, it’s already gone from 6/9 to 6/22.

That’s what mine says

Mine is back to what everyone else is seeing too when I hit the button. I assume it's something with the servers or updates to them for us not connected completely to our trucks yet. I got a phone notification for access was denied about an hour ago, maybe that's when it went down like before.

Mine showed the error message for a few days after the activate button appeared, then sat in the 'activation pending' waiting for confirmation in the vehicle until today.

This morning it had gone back to the original activate button.

On the app message center I got this message:
"Your activation request was denied. Sorry, Unicorn's (I named it Unicorn in the app) activation process was denied by the primary user and you do not have access to its FordPass features..."

So...
1.) I may be annoying the hell out of someone in Dearborn.
2.) Maybe someone was actually in the truck doing something! Think they were adding components...or moving it to a back lot until October?

I hit the activation button again because, hey why not? It's all I have after 14 months! What could go wrong? I'm a pilot, I'm genetically programmed to push every button I see.

It just went back to waiting for the confirmation in the vehicle. I did not get the "Feature Unavailable" message.

 

[TJE]

The feature unavailable message almost seems like Ford's way of getting us to stop trying to activate it when it's still at the factory.

My activation was denied and 24-48 hours later the truck shipped! It may be a sign that someone got in it and drove it to a staging area.
