Default Sync Connect (Ford Pass) SDK - Initial Release

Hi everyone,

Some of you may know me as @crazy8baller. I've made a few posts here on the forum about modifications that I've done to my truck such as add BLIS, Sync Connect, power fold mirrors, etc. I like many of you have been frustrated as of late with the Ford Pass application not working on my iPhone.

By trade, I am a software engineer, and overtime working with my truck (2019 F-150) I discovered I wanted to learn how Ford uses their internal APIs to connect and control their vehicles. So I decided to do some research/reverse engineering and build an open-source Python project that works programmatically with Sync Connect APIs. You are able to start, stop, unlock, lock, authorize, unauthorize, get information about your vehicle, and much much more. There's a lot of functionality built-in under the hood that Ford doesn't include in their app by default.

This is still in the beta stages, but I've gotten to a point where I am ready for the first initial release and I would love for you all to check it out. See my Github link here. I've included information on how to install, examples to get started, and documentation about everything that you can do to control your Ford vehicle with Python.

I would definitely be interested in developing an app that bypasses Ford Pass if there is enough want/interest for something like that.

(If any of you do decide to try my SDK out and find issues please report them!)

Thank you! At the moment I'm still working on developing more in-depth documentation but I'm hoping this SDK will be easy to use for anyone who wants to give it a try.
