Nothing exciting to do right now, but it confirmed it as a valid VIN. It shows it as a regular F150 right now though.

Yes. Same app. I'm wondering if it'll let me track it on its way to the dealer. :)

So let me ask, does this APP require anything more than the vehicle VIN to allow access to door locks, remote start, etc. ? Given that the VIN of the vehicle is easily seen from the outside of the vehicle (if you're tall enough), what's to stop some yahoo from simply walking around and driving off with any number of vehicles per day ?

That's what leads me to believe there'll be more required. No company in their right mind would have an add process like that.

Even so, something satisfying about having added it already. :)

Does the new f150's have a cell phone present. They could use wifi if it was close enough, but fail to see how this will work. I must be missing something!

Once you download the FordPass app to your phone you need to set up an account. Once you set up the account it sends an activation message to your vehicle. Once you click the to accept that on the vehicle screen it takes around 24 hours for some sort of security confirmation before the system is active.

Also, aren't vehicles put into a shipment/transit mode? I think that disables pretty much everything to prolong battery life.
