Picked up a 2017 (18 Plate) GT5.0 today, amazing drive.

Within the first 150 miles I have had 2 issues.

1. Tyre pressure monitor malfunction
On the of chance it could be interference I reset the error, removed any USB devices, turned phone to airplane mode. Within 10 mins it was back. No resolve so far.

2. No keyfob detected
First noticed when I got out of the car to fill up at pump. Ended up Googling and putting key in part under cup well. Assumed batteries were dead in both fobs. Got home from dealership (4hr drive!), new batteries purchased, nothing! I'm not even able to lock the car as it is completly unresponsive.

Ford sent the AA to me this evening, mechanic tested fuses. Non blown. Tested on ODBC, 5 errors as per pic -

Tested fobs, they are definitely sending a signal and have good power.

Help!!

Back to your dealer, or a local Ford garage. All this should have been sorted before pickup. What a PITA.

That's hugely disappointing :(
Have you still got the car (ie the AA didn't trailer it back to Ford)? If so you should be able to lock it with the blades inside the keyfobs?
