I intend to replace esim chip with regular local sim adapter. Please advise where TCU unit is located in ford focus 2023 (EU). Its not under glove box…

The TCU in a 2023 Ford Focus is typically located behind the passenger side rear trim panel behind the rear seat.

Is there some reason you expect it to work with a non-standard SIM?

well, many people did it with other Ford models. Unfortunately, after max 4h of inactivity, TCU enters sleep mode and replaced sim is not waking it.

For some reason a year ago Ford cancelled roaming in Ukraine and original e-sim that is on-chip in TCU is not connecting to my local carriers… I’m just eager to check out fordpass app.
