FordPass status update when away from car?

[Pibe38]

Securialert is just broken all around. Schedules don't work. For a lot of cars, like mine, I can't even access the schedules. Off or on, I never get alerts.

Checks out with my experience. I’ll probably disable it for now.

I only use it when I'm out and about and away from the car. Then I turn it back off. The alerts get to be annoying

Ok well the only other way I know for sure to guarantee a refresh from the car would be if you're familiar with Postman.

1. Go to ford.com
2. Press F12 on your browser (I'm using Firefox as an example)
3. Click on Network in the Developer Tools
4. Login to your Ford account
5. Click on XHR in dev tools
6. Find users in the left side of dev tools and click on it
7. On the right side of dev tools look for request headers section
8. We'll extract data from here later

Next in Postman:

1. Make a put request to the following url: https://usapi.cv.ford.com/api/vehicles/v2/***yourvinhere***/status
2. Click on authorization and pick Api Key
3. On the right put "Auth-Token" without the quotes
4. In the Value put the Auth-Token from the browser dev tools
5. Select the add to header dropdown
6. Now click on Headers
7. In the bottom box add a new header called "Application-Id" without the quotes
8. Add the value from the browser dev tools
9. Click on Send

If it's successful you'll get a status 200 returned and the car will refresh in 5 minutes.

One of the many things I thought about making a "how-to" for but never did ...

I appreciate this, but this is a little outside my pay grade.
