Sounds like in this case the best option would be to use new EU version reprogrammed TCU to get it function as intended.

Interesting. That's actually quite a big inconvenience if the TCU cannot be woken up through the app. Just thinking of commuting to work and leaving the car parked outside without charging. But I still wonder if it is encrypted SMS that wakes up the TCU, couldn't that be done by the user? If I...

Wait, so what do you mean that after 30 minutes no remote features work? how does the physical sim differ from eSim in this regard?

Oh, btw for the navigation to work you will need another module to be replaced in addition to the TCU if I remember correctly. The swedish mod seller has that one too available on their web shop. But you can also just use better navigation with apple/android auto.

Awesome! I hope you get it working 👍

How about just ordering new pre-programmed EU TCU from this company in Sweden? All you need to do is to remove the old one and install the new one. https://carperformance.se/product/fordpass-smartphone-connection/

Yeah that's the paradox I don't get. They see only problems with full size pickups because they are so large but the alternative MB sprinter for example at 7,5m long is totally fine.

That's pure European safety council propaganda. They got scared by the EU-US mutual recognition car safety standards (finally!)and have been generating this stuff ever since.

They should really release the truck in EU (no, Norway and Switzerland does not count). With electric drivetrain the taxes are cut close to 0% and you don't have to register one as a truck with 80km/h limit. Perfect family vehicle as 5 seater with plenty of space for everything you need to bring...

I wonder if that requires some reprogramming to the car... Just thinking of importing one into Finland and would be convenient to be able to use my 11kwh charger I use for my tesla.
