The hole in the roof is standard for both antenna models (shark fin or low profile). It is a 1" x 1" square hole. Both the low profile antenna and the shark fin antenna have the same mount and use the same sized hole. No modifications to the car are needed.
Yes, I recall that you were having a problem with it. Your car might have been one of the first CFTPs in the world (for public consumption).... If not, very close. So my point is maybe your fuse location isn't as advertised. I know that's very unlikely, but I find it strange that after pulling the fuse, ET kept calling mother Ford.
Interesting. Looks like the APIM has a big hand in what gets fed to the TCU. Maybe that means the options they give you actually do something? Lol. It also explains why Ford spent the money to update the back end for the base screen to be identical to the 8 inch unit. Makes me wonder what the APIM differences between the two systems are...Yes, I recall that you were having a problem with it.

I'll PM you with a diagnostic that was graciously sent my way from a member here. Maybe that will help with your issue.
There was some nut job on here the other night that was throwing around the notion that WiFi is a possible secondary communication backup. In a drunken super he even went so far as to hint that the car can somehow log into encrypted networks. While I don't believe that, I think a secondary communication backup channel like wifi is plausible.
The diagram found in the manual is a lot like the ones you find in an aircraft systems manual, simplified and not always correct, but put forth in such a manner to dumb it down for the lowest common denominator.
So keep me updated. Your story left off with a rogue track pack who just missed its mama too much.
Below is the dumbed down diagram I spoke of. According to that, kill the TCU power and wifi should go with it. If its still phonimg home at that point, maybe it is time to put the foil hat on.
Keep in mind that bathroom literature seems to have been written for a job 1 car. Job 2 cars have differences. Elsewhere in the manual all the system descriptions (narratives) describe the cabling and subsystems of the job 1 car. I think that may be only pertinent to the telematic system of the car, so I would expect some kind of update pertaining to the changes if they don't already exist as a supplement somewhere.
It is my understanding that a master reset will remove your preferences for the Ford Pass system. Its kind of like hitting the factory reset button on the back of your modem.....it will return it to factory defaults. The question i would have for you is that even if your system was reset, is it still transmitting data? That may or may not be de-identified as an individual (through Ford Pass account), but i believe the VIN would still be part of that communication.
