Ford SmartLink
Greetings. I am looking for information on the new Ford Smartlink. I have talked with 3 different dealers and got three different answers from "I don't know" to it's $1000+ for parts and labor. Googling smartlink, comes up with a $30 part. I have a 2016 F150 with sync3. Wondering what it takes to install and program the Smartlink and how much the part is. I read a thread about using Forscan to program some vehicle features. Wondering if this software will program the Smartlink.
Second question I have is about Fordpass. My truck used to connect to my phone through the Fordpass app and certain apps with be available on my truck screen like accuweather for example. Somehow this connection was lost and I can't get it back. Researching it, I found there should be a fordpass icon on my truck screen to facilitate the connection. That icon is no longer there. The phone and sync three still connect for other features however.
Thanks in advance for your help.

All I know is that I use ford pass and the smartlink button is switched off. Not actually sure what it does, but when I look in the info tab for it, I'm already doing most of it without it being turned on or without having anything plugged in. I don't know anything about apps available on the screen from ford pass.
