Since some updates to car and iPhone a few weeks ago (I'm not sure which to "blame"), my PAAK function, which has worked problem free since I got my First Edition in February. '21 has this recurring problem: The app seems to go to sleep when the phone is idle, so when I first go to the car in...

I bought a spare from Modern Spare. I only rarely drive more than 30 miles from home, so on those rare road trips, I put the Modern Spare in the hatch. Peace of mind; though I've not had to use it in my 4 years/ 30,000 mi.

I just reread the Ford opening to this thread. Though I don't see it mentioned there, elsewhere I've come across the question, "Is your car parked outside, and not under cover?" (or something close to this). Why is this a question? I thought a good WiFi signal was the key–are there some done via...

I researched this after having a $1,100 bill for installing updates to my 2021 First Edition that hadn't received an update since last October. From what I can tell the Ford plans offered by Ford (and Granger) would not cover the shop installing what should be OTA updates. Did I misunderstand?

Hello, all. I'd be grateful for a snapshot of pending updates before I go in for routine service tomorrow. VIN = 3FMTK3SU8MMA10931

In Illinois, they’re about to roll out RFID stickers to replace toll transponders for Ipass. if you have made the switch, please let us know if the sticker works in the same black-dot area beside the rear view mirror where the transponders have been working. Thanks. BTW, please don’t...

Thank you again, Mike!

I just got the car back yetsterday from 2.5 days at the shop. It went in for the 23B50 stuck cord recall software update, but then they told me they had a proper HVJB replacement part, and I let them do that as well. Many updates appear on the [zero-cost] service ticket, but just mentioning the...

Thank you, Mike!

Hello, again. It's been a few weeks, and I've received updates up through 6.7. (I love having a working frunk button on my phone!) My car goes to the shop on Tuesday 12/26 for the 23B50 "Reprogram Battery Charge Control Module" update. *My "ASK": Would you able to run the FDRS report for me...

I’ve got 18,000mi on my first Edition-not very many on blue cruise roads. When the talk of $800/yr began, I was definitely a “no”. Got my invite yesterday for $600 for 3 years. Now I’m thinking about it.

I have a 2021 First Edition. When I went to my dealer about the frunk not closing easily, 1) the put some extra heavy lube on the receiving latch; 2) he showed me to place my hands together on the hood right over the place the latch is, and to follow it down with a firm shove—but only from about...

Was that long list of updates needed for my VIN?

I just started up the car and sat there for a bit reviewing in-car screens and my FordPass app. Both show I'm at Power-Up 6.1.0 and indicate that was installed Oct. 12. Is there something else I need to do to trigger the download/install you're talking about to get that 6.3.0 update?

As far as your concerns in the question you added in the edit, I will have to defer to someone else. I highly doubt updating the BECM takes all day. They probably just mean that they aren't going to work on it as soon as you drop it off and they'll get to it when they get to it. Also, the...
