    So whats the process of returning Ford Options Hybrid Lease

    Around 2 months before the potential return date, I got multiple voicemails from a big lease return inspection firm. I forgot their name, sorry... I wanted to refinance the balloon or just pay it off, so I was ignoring the unsolicited calls. I'd recommend to keep checking with Ford Credit or a...

    Regenerative Braking Symbol

    One pedal drive is enabled. When the symbol isn't visible, one pedal drive is disabled. The only way to (sort of) turn off regenerative braking is Neutral.

    My partner took the Mustang in for the HVBJB recall work. A few hours later they tell her it's done... Huh?

    There's no clutch on the Mach-E. Not even for neutral. Our vehicles employ 3-phase AC motors whose direction and rate of spin is controlled electronically. https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/182800/how-to-change-rotation-direction-of-3-phase-electrical-machines

    How to Enable B&O Beosonic EQ with FORScan

    Most likely it's because Ford's DSP module is one of the few that isn't OTA capable.

    Suggestions for a hardwired charger

    The site's search function (and Google/Bing) are actually pretty good at locating discussions on this topic. Here's a starter as an example: https://www.macheforum.com/site/search/3277402/?q=Hardwired&c[title_only]=1&o=date There's nothing special about the Mustang Mach-E with regards to...

    BlueCruise 1.4 -- my review / experience so far

    Nope, we've never figured out what company runs these forums. It's definitely not Ford -- the "sister sites" cover many different brands.

    This vehicle does not meet Bluecruise requirements... (Mach-E 2023)

    All of that looks proper and recent to me. I'm out of ideas, hopefully someone else can chime in.

    This vehicle does not meet Bluecruise requirements... (Mach-E 2023)

    @Juanle, can you post a photo of the settings > General > About SYNC screen? Include the entire screen so we can see the top bar icons. You can redact the personal identifiers such as serial number, MAC address. This might be helpful someone here give some more suggestions. I'm wondering, for...

    This vehicle does not meet Bluecruise requirements... (Mach-E 2023)

    Does your vehicle include a driver monitor camera? If yes, they should be able to activate BlueCruise Hands Free functionality. If not, then your vehicle isn't compatible. The DMC is this big "camera bar" that I've circled in red here. It watches your eye gaze using some infrared lights and a...

    Let's talk about a dangerous, and maybe deadly, BlueCruise flaw

    Yup... 🤙 Originally I found the punch spot much further forward, closer to one of the sun visors. After adjusting the camera's coax connection, the spot moved to just rearward of the sunglass holder. I've heard that on some cars the issue can be reproduced by hitting the A-pillar but that...

    Let's talk about a dangerous, and maybe deadly, BlueCruise flaw

    The issue is that cruise control shuts off without any grace period, and because of 1 pedal drive, the car begins decelerating rapidly. If there's a car following closely behind me, I hope they'll react quickly, too. Yes, there are chimes and error messages popping up on the IPC, sometimes...

    Let's talk about a dangerous, and maybe deadly, BlueCruise flaw

    Thanks for posting this, @Chuck. I had a similar scare on my way home from work just tonight, coincidentally. While in hands free BlueCruise, I drove over a minor pothole during a curved portion of the freeway. The car immediately suspended cruise control, lane keeping, and recentered the...

    SOLVED What is this symbol on rearview camera?

    My 21J1 used to rock a bit on the parking pawl after I'd switch to park. If I parked on an incline, or if it detected substantial rocking, then the car would sometimes activate the parking brake on its own. Then an OTA update changed this behavior... Now it always engages the EPB after I've...

    Did they change the Chime or Is Something Wrong?

    I think I'd try rebooting all the modules by disconnecting the 12V battery for a few minutes. If you're uncomfortable trying that, another option could be to remove certain fuses like the one for the DSP. Fuse tables/diagrams are in our owners manuals.
