Hi Mustang Mach-E Owners!

Earlier this year, we shared that Google Maps EV Routing for Android Auto users would soon roll out to F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E vehicles. As some of you have already experienced in your vehicles, we’re excited to officially share that it’s here and continues to roll out!

This feature is rolling out now to the Mustang Mach-E via an over-the-air software update, enabled through 10.1.0, letting Mach-E drivers who love using Google Maps through Android Auto enjoy more enhanced routing capabilities right from their Ford electric SUV. Simply connect your smart phone to your vehicle, activate Android Auto, then use Google Maps for navigation – and you’re ready to go! Just be sure you have the latest version of Google Maps installed on your smartphone.

Thanks to this update, Google Maps will be able to share routing information like:

• Battery on-arrival estimate for all route stops
• Recommended charging stops
• Minimum recommended charge
• List of nearby amenities at charging stops

On top of that, we’re also delivering a few extra surprises with this update. Enroute pre-conditioning will be available when navigating to DC fast-chargers, and drivers will also be able to see available chargers and compatible Tesla Supercharger locations along their routes.

We can’t wait for you to experience this feature in your Mustang Mach-E! We love to hear from our owners, so let us know what you think and share your experiences with us on social.

Is it though? Because I don't have 10.1.0, I don't have 10.0.0, because you won't update my car. I car less about BC 1.3 than features like this that I'm now missing out on entirely.

Just wishful thinking for me as my 22 GT does not get updates and Ford and Ford Dealers refuse to rectify. FRUSTRATING

Yup, if you just select the slider icon below the back arrow you'll find the compatible plugs menu where you can enable the adapter setting!

It worked good sir!
Thanks again

This car is amazing. Like Science Fiction from a decade or so ago, literally coming true.

Needs iOS.

Come on Apple/Ford.

I'm in the EA program. I received a message indicating that all I needed was the most recent version of Google maps. There was nothing indicating that I also needed an OTA update. I sent an email to the contact in the email. Attached are screenshot of the response. A bit of hope.

I have a 2022 Mach-E. When should I expect this update? Where can I see what update # I am on?

Yeah we know Ford messaging says it’s going to come. But it’s more fun to come to the forums and say 21’s will never get updated again.

Definitely a big step in the right direction.

Having preconditioning and Tesla v3 visible in android auto meets a lot more of my needs.

In my summer road trip I was using the ford navigation which was very good but was not showing some fast chargers. So I was using my android phone hands free as well to access info on some chargers.

I had never heard about this driving for 30 minutes a day to keep things charged and ready for an update. I work from home most days and definitely don't average 30 minutes of drive time a day. Ruh ro.

You can connect a 12V battery tender to keep the LVB at a sufficient SoC.

Same here.

Apple CarPlay already has it enabled with Apple Maps if you’re interested in having battery percentage upon arrival ? I think you’re asking about Google Maps, but thought I’d let you know anyways

So your response implies that you would have tested both (ideally) and the Apple
Map app gives a more precise margin of battery usage. As I’ve seen the considerable investment of Apple’s R&D, maybe I’m not surprised
