Anyone have Siri Shortcuts for climate start working in 2025?

[Jackdforme]

I’m a pretty technical person. I changed the API command from post to get just to see if I’d get a response from Fordconnect for the token, etc..

No matter what I do, the best outcome I have is "cannot start the vehicle."

Is this disabled from the Ford Connect side? Did they secure the API in some way? Does anyone have this working and can show me the newest set of shortcuts that work?

I’m coming from Tesla and have gotten very used to starting my car with my voice. I do not use Amazon services so that’s not a starter.

Thanks for any help all.

So you don't have the working shortcuts?

I have no idea. I have all the “AI” type stuff disabled for everything in my life. I’m old….

Trying to understand your question.
Do lock and unlock work, but not start?
And are you asking if that unsupported API still works for 2025 model year trucks or if it still works in the year 2025?

thanks for the reply.

Ford has native shortcuts for lock/unlock and that works fine. For a few years, owners have hacked the API calls that the FordPass App makes anyway through a combination of IOS shortcuts. There are threads on it. The problem is that the process requires two tokens to be generated as a "pre-step". That step seems to either not collect the token from the ford vehicle connect site or some other failure. The Get FordPass Token and Get Autonomic Token steps either hang entirely on using the shortcut with API "POST", or complete with seemingly no information returned for API set to "GET".

I know this is kind of technical but wondering if I am missing something or if this has since stopped working for anyone who does use the shortcuts.

When working, you get Start, Stop, Odometer, SOC, etc..

There are some folks on here that have used it. My understanding it is somewhat a moving target so I use Alexa. Has been rock solid for 2.5 years.

If you haven't seen this post, it lists a support site for that api.

From what I have seen on home assistant, the api has changed to a device key style setup and no one has figured out how to get it to work on anything. I could be wrong but that is what I have been dealing with there.

Hopefully soon there will be AI agents where you simply tell it to do something and it’ll just open the Ford app and click on the button for you as if it were you doing it. You know, just before these AI agents bring about Terminator 2 Judgement Day.

I have Home Assistant working fine including remote start. It does take some setup using browser tools to obtain an authentication token.

FWIW it looks like we may be getting more Siri-enabled FordPass functionality in the next version. Maybe PPO is coming back too.

Well there you go. If you want to know what the EAP members are testing just go to the ICE forum. No secrets there!

Its interesting that they are planning to allow it from the lock screen and action button. Perhaps this will enable the use of a shortcut (hopefully simpler and native) for start/stop.

thank you for the details here. This makes a bunch more sense as to why it won't return the payload.
