How to more prominently display Battery SoC

[dtbaker61]

Holy crap! That’s a lot of useful stuff to turn off.

yeah, besides I run in unbridled.....

it is much better to do the custom display on your phone.

I typically have all this turned off anyway while suburban or city driving.

On the highway, depending on traffic conditions, I turn on cruise control and lane centering. I enjoy those benefits (plus hands free) more than I miss the cooler, calmer IC graphics.

I agree. Do any of the apps store historical data? As a numbers guy, I can’t help myself.

Yes
The Carscanner app is quite robust

Best display would be remaining KW. If you know the approximate miles per KW for various driving scenarios and you know the roads you are driving on you can easily work out a more accurate range.

You can see whatever sensor data you want (including actual kWhr remaining IF you get
- a ODB2 reader w BT
- phone app like CarScanner
- phone holder so you can see phone while driving

Dan, what phone holder do you use? Are you satisfied with it?
I haven't really looked, need something better than laying it in the tray, when using carscanner...
love that app..... Bill P

Any recommendations for an ODBC reader?

Some friends of ours just got back from a road trip to Orange County from Pismo Beach in their new Ford Explorer w/BC. They were really pleased and amazed how well BC worked on the drives.

Sorry Dan, didn't finish the thread, phone holder answers were there I believe.... Bill P

Imagine how impressed they would be if they were driving a car that actually had Blue Cruise!

I don't have BC, don't want it, and would never use it.... so.... not impressed. I don't want ANY auto-drive features, and I don't like paying for all the extra software and sensors.

I just want to see instrumentation on the 'working parts' like temp, power, and remaining battery energy in kWhr

Well, Explorer drivers don‘t have it either. Hence my comment.

I abbreviated Blue Cruise as BC ?

I know. No version of the Explorer has Blue Cruise. It still comes with Sync 3.
