Well looks like they still have a commercial form of it anyway. I wonder how well that works for people?

I'm not at all surprised to hear this after my experience with the 4G update on my Focus Electric. Ford had an application that worked and killed it when 3G got shut down. I paid $400 for the modem update and switched to FordPass, then waited 8 months for Ford to implement a fix on the backend so I could actually get the functionality I had already paid for. They scheduled a dealership appointment to fix it a week out. The day before the appointment, Ford left me a voicemail saying they made a change on the server side that fixed the issue. So then I was left to wonder...could the fix have been implemented months earlier? Hopefully Ford can recruit better tech talent now that the technology industry is downsizing.Smartlink was failed from the start. There was PLENTY of interest. The hardware was flawed. I was in the Beta group. I had the hardware, and they never activated it. It was half baked from the beginning. They had reception issues with it, and it was buggy.
You most likely had a crossed wire or one of your devices plugged in was faulty."OBDII port can have some kind of splitter installed."
I WAS running a splitter, one for my GPS tracking, the other for Forscan, worked fine until one day my truck would not start, acted like a dead battery. Once I removed everything from the OBDII port, started right up.
Looks like I was mistaken!
Here is the website that lists what year it was added to each vehicle:
Man, it has been a while. I know we used the old Ford Cell Based add on module in the 2015. Worked great. Been a while, guess we moved that to the 2017, cause I know the wife used her phone to remote start the Expedition.
