  1. Panoramic Roof Regret?

    Love the pano roof. I have been in very hot areas with it and it doesn't warm up at all. The coating is incredible.
  2. Real world Tesla camera based safety & self driving tech vs LiDAR

    My daughter has a 2021 Tesla 3 that she paid the extra $10K for at the time to get "Full Self-Driving". Hers has the radar installed, but when it went in for service in 2023, they turned it off and told her that the radar was no longer supported. She noticed after that her car doesn't track as...
  3. PAAK totally stopped working for me

    Note that PAAK uses the Bluetooth Low Energy BLE. Does Android Auto work fine from your phone? That's based on standard Bluetooth. What broke in the updates in December was support for BLE which was fixed in the releases in January. Here's a extremely detailed explanation...
  4. Dec '24 Android Update - Bluetooth Connection Problems

    Yes, my phone says it's trying to connect to my car and sometimes it does -- my garage is separated from the house by about 50 feet. Try logging out from Ford Pass on your phone when you are in your house and see if that makes a difference. Note you don't need to remove it, just log out.
  5. Dec '24 Android Update - Bluetooth Connection Problems

    My PAAK is working as of 1/24/25!! First, I finally got the update from Samsung for my phone to load. The release from Verizon kept getting 407 error messages while failing to load, so I hooked up my S23Ultra to my PC with a USB cable and used the Samsung software to upload the update. Also, I...

  7. BlueCruise year end recap: how much did you drive hands-free?

    I love BC, I feel it has saved my life at least once and kept me safe. 90% of the time I am on a freeway I use BC. It's great, particularly in stop and go traffic. It has lowered my blood pressure and allows me to enjoy my drives. I also use the lane keeping on our local streets when I'm in...
  8. Dec '24 Android Update - Bluetooth Connection Problems

    What is not working is the low energy Bluetooth, BLE is designed for low-power applications and does not support high data rates comparable to Bluetooth Classic. BLE is what is used for PAAK, Android Auto uses Bluetooth Classic. BLE is more secure, and can work when your phone is almost dead.
  9. Dec '24 Android Update - Bluetooth Connection Problems

    Haven't seen an update on my Samsung since 12/14/24. What phone and what software update?
  10. PAAK totally stopped working for me

    According to Ford Support, this is a known bug that they are working on. Seems to be a problem with Samsung Android primarily. If you want, there are at least 40 reports that could send you a VIN and local Ford Dealer.
  11. Dec '24 Android Update - Bluetooth Connection Problems

    Same exact problem. After update this weekend, PAAK won't work. Using Fob until they do a fix. Spoke to Ford Support today, they claim they know about the massive bug and are working on it. Seems to be only on Android phones according to them. . . I asked the lady if all the programmers were...
  12. What's going on with NACS charging adapters never shipping?

    Got mine last month. Just took awhile. Ordered at the end of February 2024.
  13. Does anyone park their Mach E in their garage?

    There is the same possibility of an EV catching fire in your garage as an ICE. I always park my cars in my garage, now going on 50 years and have yet to see a fire other than my wife when she is mad at me.
  14. Great app for finding charging stations on road trips

    iExit doesn't seem to have any way to default to only EV charging. Am I missing anything?
