This is so cool! Thank you for making this. I don't have my truck yet but I went out and installed the app and loaded my VIN in there in anticipation.

I figured I would share something I've been working on.

Many months ago I found this widget while searching for some Ford pass API stuff https://github.com/dschablowsky/FordPassWidget.

At the time I didn't even know what Scriptable was...
I work with Javascript every day so this was an amazing find for me and it allowed me to interface with my truck without having to use the FP app.
So I completely refactored the entire script into an alternative control to FordPass.

Take a look at the readme file and you will see what it does...
It stills needs more work to be very easy to show the right icons and names for the entire ford lineup but it will get there.

Please open up issues or feature requests here https://github.com/tonesto7/fordpass-scriptable/issues
If you are a coder yourself please submit pull requests and I will gladly merge them if they make sense.

Thanks again to dschablowsky for all his work on the original script...

Wow--super cool for sure! Is there anyway for the app to display the outside temp from the truck?

Ok I added the script but not sure where to put name and password/ VIN at?

 

[Icecoldak]

Looks great. I get this error when I try to open the script, after entering Username/password/VIN:

Im not sure where to enter username-password-vin at??

I went ahead and opened it anyway and I get that same error--

I am no expert but I entered it here, between the ' ':

1….When you get to the page where you copy make sure you click on the 3 dots on the right side and chose RAW,

2….You have to copy and paste everything, I had the same issue, so what I did, I stared from the bottom to the top.

3….once you paste it on the script just tap on done Tap on the new script that’s when the pop up will generate for you to enter the info.

I tried it all over and get error on line 898:40: undefined is not an object---I get that error everytime, I have tried multiple times by cut and pasting the Raw info

The first time you run the script, it should prompt you for login, password, and vin. It uses the iOS secure keychain to store the info you enter in the pop up box fields. Hardcoding it in the script will work too, but it shouldn’t be necessary.

I’m not sure how your seeing that. That is the old script.

I Love it! Thank you! Why Ford hasn't developed widgets in house yet is confusing. As a company who is trying to be ahead of technology with their vehicles, they aren't doing a great job at the mobile applications.

This is amazing, thank you so much for the effort!

The only thing in noticed in mine is that the tire pressures show up wrong. I am using the ‘METRIC’ option though so maybe it’s something messed up with that portion of the coding? Everything else appears correct.

Forgive me for my ignorance... Do you metric users view pressure in PSI? Because the tire pressure data from ford is Kpa.

I like psi for pressure but yes, Ford uses kPa. I wish there was a way to change the values on the instrument cluster to be all metric with the exception of tire pressure and boost…nobody actually uses kPa lol.

I was more stating that the widget says it’s psi but appears to show the value in kPa.

Thanks for pointing that out... The release I'll be releasing later today will show correctly and will also allow you to use metric but set the tire pressure as PSI
