I received an interesting message from Ford on my FordPass app the other day. I thought I'd post it here: Anyone else get this? Any thoughts?

The Vehicle > Status > Tire Pressure Monitoring screen on my smartphone shows this message: There are no indicators on this screen. I suppose something would light up on the app if there was a malfunction or low pressure detection, none of which is the case. This is a good sign, imo. What are your thoughts on this? On another note, my tires are rated at 44 psi of pressure, maximum. The auto shop that installed the tires inflated them to 40 psi (using normal air). That's what I normally inflate my tire to. Should I leave it at that?

Question for you folks: I just had new tires installed. Does anyone know of a simple way to test the valve pressure sensors (other than letting the air out of the tires)? Also, where is the low tire pressure indicator displayed on the FordPass App? TIA.

Question for you folks, Under Services > Vehicle Health Reports, there is an option for "Schedule Reports". Mine is set to "Monthly". Is that supposed to send a health report to my email address every month regardless if there's a problem or not?

Update: FP Version 4.15.0 has been released. Upon updating the app, I noticed no difference. Everything is working the same. No regression.

Yesterday, I went to a public level 2 charging station to see how FP behaves. Some observations are: 1.) The Battery Charge Logs does not show that I charged my vehicle for 10 minutes. 2.) While on my way to the station, the combustion engine kicked in, but the Estimated fuel economy shows 0.3 MPG under Driving Data > Journeys > My EV Driving Data. It should be in the realm of 100 - 200 MPG. For those that charge their vehicle in the public, what shows up in the Battery Charge Logs in FP?

For reference purposes, I was able to locate a photo I took. I had a 3G Modem at the time, using MFM. I called Ford tech support. They confirmed that the only way to start my vehicle was to insert the key and turn it on that way.

As per the conversation regarding remote start on a Cmax Energe SE vehicle, this is what I've observed... Firstly, the year / model of my car is 2017 Cmax Energi SE. My Key Fob do not include a remote start button. Prior to having the modem upgraded to 4G, I was using the MyFordMobile app. The MyFordMobile app had a remote start feature. It was a bit awkward. When I pressed the RS button on the app, the car's climate control would turn on and there was a message on the left display on the instrument cluster. It said to press the brake and the start button at the same time. My car doesn't have a "Start" button so that feature didn't work. I'm guessing Ford never updated that part of the software for SE model Cmax's such that the message isn't displayed. Fast forward to today, I have a 4G modem installed. The FordPass app has a "Start" button on the home screen. When I press it, it turns on the climate control but does not give the option to start the vehicle.

I noticed yesterday that there was a new update for the FordPass app. I didn't notice anything different. Anyone else find something new?

Just wondering... For those that performed a DIY upgrade on the 4G modem, is the modem's antenna connected to the radio antenna that's mounted on top of the car?

I'm intrigued enough to give it a try. I'll give it a whirl and let you know what I find. Edit: Here is a screen capture of the Configuration > TCU module screen: According to your information it appears that the TCU was not updated. I'm assuming that the dealer performed a software update, but is no different than what is currently installed.

Update on Ford Dealer contact: I received a call from the Ford Dealer that installed the 4G modem on my Cmax. They said that Ford is working on a software update and that they will contact me when it is ready to be installed. What do you folks make of this? Under what condition should I bring it in to have them update the software? I'm guessing I should ask them if it is a necessary firmware upgrade or is it a fix for owners that had the same problem I used to have.

Dealers don't normally get into the nit and gritty of the problem. I've learned that through experience. I agree with bookemdano, what shows up on the "Vehicle" screen? If it shows the metrics, then you are half way there.

Yes. I'm referring about the Sync screen. I'm able to pair my android phone using bluetooth and USB. Glympse loads on the Sync system. I see the main menu. But that's as far as it goes. I normally use it on my smartphone, it works like a charm. Wither way, it would be nice to have a location sharing app via Applink or Android Auto.

Just wondering, has anyone gotten the Glympse app to work? I can see it in my Apps list and when I tap on it, it doesn't allow me to invite viewers.
