Alex.S Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 U guys have probably seen my posts re my modem not connected. As I can’t seem to get Live Traffic working. But my info on the website and the app shows it is connected. I’ve done remote engine start (doesn’t work every time) . I’ve even had the mpg , price of fuel I’ve used in October. None of this would work without the modem connectivity. I think. I’ve googled Live Traffic not activated and yet to find an explanation how to activate it apart from some American guy showing how to slide a button! I need to go back to the dealer with it.

From what you describe the modem is working as its communicating with the Ford Pass app and you can remotely control certain functions. Open the Ford Pass App, Press ‘Vehicle Details & Service’ > ‘Service & Support’ > scroll down to ‘Subscriptions’ > ‘Live Traffic’ You should see your Live Traffic subscription details. In my case Subscription Price: Auto Subscription End Date: 22 Dec 2020 If you don’t see any subscription details go back to your dealer as you should get 2 years free Live Traffic subscription.

You will have to explain the situation to your dealer and see what they say. It may be that your vehicles VIN number for some reason has not been linked to a Live Traffic Subscription on Fords data base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comares2001 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 As PLB says it look like error is with Ford. Since the dealer may be clueless about this it may be easier to Email Ford customer relations UKCRC1@Ford.com they will reply and can be helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tweeted them, got a phone number for the FordPass team. called them , they say uninstall then reinstall the app then master reset. If it doesn’t work call them back. Been to the dealership, no technicians available today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Allpress Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Hi. I've recently updated my 2019 focus via usb to sync 3.4, but my maps only updated to F8, whereas my 2018 Fiesta has updated to F9. Anyone know why? I know the update for the system has worked because the layout has changed entirely on the screen. I thought about re-doing it but I deleted the update from my PC and I cant now download it again because it says its up to date when I put my VIN in on the Ford website. Any suggestions out there? Also does anyone know how to connect the sync 3 to the on board car wifi? It never comes up as an option and my house wifi doesn't reach outside the house. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 The nav update comes as a seperate download. The on-board wi-fi is a hotspot for passengers to connect devices to not for the car to download it's own data (bit of a missed opportunity tbh), and to link to the ford pass app for remote locking,warning messages and location data.
