so I think I found the as built and part number for the lte modem and was wondering if there was some one with a 17 with sync connect that could verify it for me. If I have it right it starts 754-01-01 -> 754-03-08. the part number that comes up next to this in as built explorer comes up as control assy- mobile phone. and I just want to confirm part numbers and as built before I buy it. I get hj5t-14g087-uf. fordparts.com then gives me 14g229 as most applicable part

there is a thread on this already.

 

Here's the TCU module for a 2017 XLT with Sync Connect. I don't think it will work. You probably need the Smart Link

I've went down this path before, but pretty much let it go. I was worried that if I got all the parts, and the truck recognized it, I'd have problems activating it. They tie that to the VIN of the vehicle and since I have a 2015 with a retrofit sync 3, it would probably be a headache. Didn't want to drop all the money for nothing. I ordered the smart link from my dealer instead, so we'll see what happens when that arrives.

 

Wondering if anyone knows who the supplier is of the TCU module or may even have a picture of the unit. I cant find anything under these parts numbers. Thank you much!!

 

Has anyone tried activating a non connect VIN in the ford connect app? You would have to provide your own plan, https://hologram.io/ would do nicely. But I wonder if the app will only accept VINs in a database or any VIN it can communicate with.
