Great! Thanks for sharing it with us. That was very useful.

So, I finally got mine working, is there a way to change the commands? I find myself saying “start my truck” and I get an error message. “Start my car” works fine. I looked in the shortcut app but didn’t see it.

Sure! You can change it to whatever you like.

1. Click on the "..." button on the shortcut you want to change.

2. Click on the "arrow down" right next to the it's name.

3. Click on "rename" and change it to whatever you want. This text input is going to be your new voice trigger.

Extra 1:
You can also change what Siri replies after executing the action. I translated those two text fields to portuguese, so she can tell me if the command work or not, but you can change it to whatever you want, like "truck started" and "truck failed to start"

Extra 2:
Next to the "rename" option you got the "Add to Home Screen", which is also a nice option to have that action siting right there on your home screen as any other app icon. That's also a great way to make it work since you don't have to open Ford Pass, wait for it to open, slide the turning on thing. Just a click and it's done.
