  1. Re: Ford insists it will continue to support Apple CarPlay

    Ford is a corporation, since as a legal construct they literally have no conscience, they are incapable of moral guilt, and no crime has been alleged, so they're not guilty in any sense of the word. Now, if you're referring to Bill Ford, Jim Farley or other officers of the corporation, they may...
  2. Re: Ford insists it will continue to support Apple CarPlay

    Yet here we are wasting our time arguing about a corporation and its Swiss cheese privacy policies that only look good in comparison to another absurdly large corporations privacy policies that are more holes than cheese.
  3. Re: Ford insists it will continue to support Apple CarPlay

    :rolleyes: If you actually read all of the cases you claim, you would have seen my name on several appeals cases argued in the 9th circuit. Your assertation is quite wrong. Let your worship of Apple go, they're not worth it.
  4. Re: Ford insists it will continue to support Apple CarPlay

    You are aware, no doubt, of the numerous lawsuits and technical papers exposing the lengths Apple has gone to circumvent the privacy restrictions you've been touting in this thread, and do exactly what it says it does not do — sell personalized data? Further, Apple routinely shares its analytics...
  5. Two business days left for November 2024 NACS adapter shipments...

    At this point if people really need one it’d be best to just buy the A2Z adapter and be done with it.
  6. Trunk platform support plastic trim piece

    The Ford interior protection optional rear mat only fits properly when the floor is in the lowest position. That should have clued you in if you have those (and most do). Otherwise, it’s an unfortunate and unexpected lesson.
  7. Potential Price Increase due to tariffs? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    A more pertinent question might be whether the legislation allowing the president to slide preexisting tariffs up and down would pass judicial review now. The past decade plus have come down strongly on the side of such broad grants of power as being an unconstitutional abrogation of...
  8. Potential Price Increase due to tariffs? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    The following cars/car manufacturers assemble cars in Mexico. Targeting Mexico built cars is going to require a huge target. Audi Q5 BMW 2 series coup, 3 series sedans, M2 Stellantis: Jeep Compass Ford: Bronco Sport, Maverick, Mustang Mach-e. GM: Siverado, Blazer, Cruze, Equinox, and various...
  9. Potential Price Increase due to tariffs? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Actually he didn’t run PayPal either. He ran a company called X.com which was acquired by Confinity. He was CEO for 6 months and was then fired. Confinity became PayPal a year later. He started SpaceX in 2001 and acquired his original interest in Tesla in 2004, both with his sale of his...
  10. A2Z Adapter Recall: Typhoon v1 Exchange Program

    Why worry about the what if’s? Just do it. — All 3 of the major brand adapters have had recalls now. While that’s unfortunate, I can say my second gen A2Z (Typhon Pro) has worked flawlessly. I’d have no qualms about exchanging one of those affected for a newer version. Be glad they’re upfront...
  11. What's the CEO of Ford been driving?

    I’d take a car with that design over a M3 in a heartbeat.
  12. Potential Price Increase due to tariffs? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    No he can’t. Unless a treaty specifically allows for it to be abrogated by 1 party (usually with notice), the president has no power to “void” it. G.W. Bush was able that with the ABM treaty after giving the required 6 month notice. In the case of USMC, treaty disputes have a resolution...
  13. Need to pay for updates

    Most extended warranties cover parts & labor. Updating modules is entirely labor and no parts. That's my guess as to how they can charge for the module updates. In any event, check the TSB as suggested, and if it applies get it done. As stated above, you don't need all your modules updated...
