Not to hijack the thread, but I'm seeing similar issues with Carscanner with my OBD dongle on my new Mach-e 2025. A lot of the data is missing in the dashboards. I've tried the two profiles for the Mach-e in Carscanner and see similar results. The OBD dongle is a Vgate vLinker MC+, which worked...

If you're considering the Lyriz, might I suggest looking at the ZDX? I just picked one up for my wife. It shares the same GM skateboard platform but a different style that might apply to a different group. I just picked up my 25 Mach-e, and while the ride is good, the ZDX absorbs bumps a bit...

Try the FLASHSPRING code which is on their front page, much better discount:

Just noticed my delivery got pushed back a week.

Given what everyone has said so I'm in the Chicago area. Is this estimate too optimistic?

FYI, if you're interested in a Magsafe compatible mount for the Mach-e, this model works well and keeps the phone at the ideal height. It installs in the air vent and includes a metal ring for cases that are not magsafe ready. There's a wireless model available as well. It does block the power...

Thanks @Tampamike , I knew the rate would drop but wasn't aware it was this drastic. This explains why everyone says to only charge to 80% at DCFCs during road trips, as you are just wasting time beyond that. Funny you mention 100%. There are level 3 chargers near downtown Chicago that are...

https://supercharge.info/map Just make sure to set the Stall Type to V4 and Open to NACS in the filter icon from on the far left of the menu. Unfortunately, depending on the state you might be challenged to find many V4 SuperChargers AND open to non-Tesla vehicles. In MA there's only 1 and...

This past weekend I decided to rent a Mach-e as I have a 2025 on order and haven't spent much time driving one. I wanted to see how the effects of cold weather impact the battery. Another reason is that I ordered the A2Z adapter and wanted to try it out. What better place than Chicago in the...

The Typhoon Pro with the HLD24 discount code.

I just picked up the A2Z with the current holiday sale it came down to $157 with free shipping.

Thanks for the quick reply Mach-Lee. It appears there are some AI boxes on the market now that can interface via CarPlay or Android Auto: https://www.carplaylife.com/how-to/does-switching-a-carplay-ai-box-to-android-auto-really-improve-performance/ Demonstrated in this video:

Simple, question. I have an iPhone. I don't have the option to precondition with Apple CarPlay. Will an AI box allow me to use Google Maps on Android to precondition when driving to a DC fast charging station? I know AI boxes are frowned upon in some circles, just looking for another...
