No go guys. I swung by the dealership and grabbed my tech who hooked up his laptop. We searched for latest updates over the internet and there weren't any available for my car. (We just updated it last week). Anyway we did find the menu option for TracKey. It gave you the option to ENABLE and DISABLE. The current status was DISABLED and clicking enable didn't do anything. Unfortunately it looks like we're still waiting

Eh, it does, but I think we've been prepped for a while now that it would be late summer and Rick and others have been telling us September (optimistically August) for a while now so I wasn't really expecting it. Oh well I had an excuse to go drive the Boss which is never a bad experience 
Again Ford wants us to have it yesterday, we're just stuck in the regulatory black hole.

What I was told a while ago by Ford's Marketing Director for the Mustang line is that when it comes out the dealer will request the program with the car's VIN and build number. That is what he said I don't know why the build number is needed. At that point it will be sent to the dealer and once installed it will self erase so that no one can copy it.
This sound to me that it is a hard copy of something not an internet download, we shall see.
He said any dealer can do it.

I was told that the car has to be hooked up to the computer while the computer is on line. The program then runs and verifies that all the info matches and then downloads the program from on line to the car and the dealer never has a copy. I heard that they are trying to avoid any rev-engineering or hacking it.
