Scheduled updates should give you a notification it has an update so before is a good time to put it on your 12V charger. Mine has updated with a 15 amp hooked up. Just close the ford app and tell your phones system to not allow it to do anything in the background. You can shut off...

No that Ford app update did nothing. Rebooted phone following and it still does not work as a key. Mine has nothing to do with IOS 26.4.1 and it was the ford app cancelling my key and forcing me to redo it. It has not worked since. Last set up of many. Charged the 12V to 100% waited a day...

Anything on constraints on the program if no phone passcode like the original did? As noted added it a number of times each time it finishes successful each time it does not work. You would think if cell is no good it would not finish successfully. When I got the car it worked with my iPhone 7...

Good to know. Would it be better to help people on the forum through the forum and not in private as that way we can all follow and learn. You would also not need to tell people you are doing a lot behind the scenes as we could see Ford in action. Are you looking into my PAAK problem of just...

It told me my PAAK was no good anymore and required setting up again awhile ago. Ran through the process said successful but no key detected after. Delete all phones as a key off the phones apps, reset in car, run through the setup and it says successful but no key detected with phone. Did...

So you think the car would consume more energy keeping the cars 12V charged than your battery tenderer does? It is also sucking electricity. I charge on low rates and have scheduled that but have no problems with the car maintaining itself whenever it wants. The 10 20 buck subscription during...

Retired and mine sits for weeks also 5 years and 23,000 miles. Mine sits outside in colder temps and more snow than in CT. It has been plugged to L2 and at least for the last 3 years (HVJB and departure scheduling fixed) no problems. As I mentioned I believe the car should maintain itself better...

The crack between the front fender and hood will slip an extension cord at the nose with the hood closed. The suggestion was why the trickle charger as it should be no smarter then the car. Maybe in 2021 it was but I think not now. Your setup may be just a hassle and redundant?

It is the competitive race between BYD and Geely. I am not even taking notice of the 1.5 Megawatt charging and am holding out for the 1.21 Gigawatts because that is when things really start to happen ;) More different connections and cables that is a first. ;) I think if they can find the...

Maybe take it off the trickle charger and leave the car plugged to L2. See if the car will look after things for you. I know the car will suck juice from the L2 charger once and a while for sometime with no recirc pump running so it is not heating the batteries. All I have that it could be is...

That should make for a more responsive EV. One idea and they may keep coming. You would thinking if the batteries themselves become nonflammable that design regulation will adapt and may help also. It is the electrolyte burning that makes all those spectacular videos. Smoldering wires not so...

Taking a cart and horse into town was also cheap. Not everyone wants cheap. Sodium will be cheaper than solid state. I would have no problems seeing the lead acid disappear. A change for something that is more dependable with greater longevity, has less of a environmental impact and is cheaper...

Take all workload off the 12V and use the big pack seems pretty obvious glad tesla is getting around to that after all this time. Have no idea why tesla would model after an ice to begin with. Ford I understand. Can't be scared the contacts will melt if you start opening and closing them more...

It sits here for a long time on a 12V installed 12/17/21 (4.25 years ago). Ones that refresh the app too often may have 12V problems. My apps are off when not using the car as the ford app sucks too much phone battery here. The car will come on 2 to 3 times a day plugged to L2 to condition...

Not looking at any voltage and Ford's 365V and the 400V's will not be around forever now most are transitioning to 800V. It is becoming a computer on wheels with that whole AI thing that is just happening but has really been going on for years. You know Y2K was the fall of the machines now we...
