All I can do is laugh at this point. Apparently the IDS tools the dealers use to download and install calibrations can't download TracKey. Ford doesn't know why it is having this communication issue and have no ETA as to when it will be resolved.

Glad you can see the humor and smile. You would think they would have tested this before they tried to start using it for customers' cars.
But I guess Ford was afraid to let it out before it was all legal in the event of some bootleg TK loads.

 

Looks like I will hold off a few days...

 

This looks so amateurish on Ford's part.

 

Sorry my fault

 

Just as we suspected

 

Knew it.

 

Eh, having done enough after-market stuff on these cars, you come to expect some hiccups. Actually it turns out they are able to download the tune onto their IDS tool, it just won't communicate with the Boss' PCM. I talked directly to the tech and he just got off the phone with them with another update. They've isolated the problem and he was hopefull the fix will be in as early as tomorrow.

That said I'm all for blaming 11ShelbyGT500 Maybe there's going to be enough material here for a Hitler video sequel.

 

Mine is here but not going in till tomorrow. Post up the resolutions to the problems they find

 

Ask the tech if someone from UPS delivered the IDS tool.

 

 

I think he may have run it over before delivering it.

 

Dealer is placing my order now. Quoted me $280 plus the hour of labor.

 

It's a no go here. Software won't download. 3 hr round trip for nothing.

 

$280?
You are getting the Boss 281 TracKey with a $1 discount.

 

+1 sequel Please if we cant continue to laugh at the chaos we would just get frustrated and blame more and more Cobra guys.

 

**Update** Just got a call from the dealer and they are downloading a new update to their software. They asked me to drop the car and they're hoping they'll be able to flash it in the morning. We need a little more drama don't we?

 

Bummer... gonna give a courtesy call to my folks and see if they're getting the same errors. Hopefully we aren't charged more than the single hour of labor.

And yes, I'm taking notes for a Hitler sequel...

 

had the same issues today, then dealer got a call from ford racing.... got fix still jammed up download at 50 percent, i drove car home, it sais track key active with he red key now..... but thats about it lol dropping it back off tommrow, my dealer is on my way to work lol

 

TracKey is alive and well in my BOSS 302. Dealer sent me a photo as well. Furius' white Boss was scheduled for TracKey installation today, but I'll let John confirm that his is active as well.

The Service Techs at The Ford Store Morgan Hill rock !
