I got my NACS from Ford a couple weeks ago, and haven't tried it yet. I do not plan to create a Tesla account since I rarely take road trips, but I do have a trip next week so I'm documenting the steps to start using it..... -last updated 12/5/24, 5pm Here's what I did, and what I have left to...

yesterday (11/12/24) my MME lost all audio.... setting show the 'sound' section grayed out (audio off), pressing the on/off button in middle of console knob lights console briefly, so it does detect the switch touch. -no phone -no read your text voice -no navigation voice -no radio so I tried...

It is now possible to display 17 different 'stock' dashboards from CarScanner via the center screen Android Auto, but not any user defined custom dashboards unfortunately. I updated my phone Apps to CarScanner v 1.111.8 AA v 12.8.643614-release and found that Carscanner now appears as a valid...

Thought I'd kick off a thread for any of ya'll that are participating in DriveElectricWeek.org events around the country this year. I'll start it off with a couple pix from the event in Taos, NM on Saturday 9/28/2024. First, we had a great drive up from Santa Fe to Taos, taking the 'High Road'...

Dear @Ford Motor Company , I would like a 'data-only' Map update... just the new streets... hopefully free. I'd also really like the return of the ability to speak my Navigation destination while moving... which seems to have expired when I let 'connected services' expire because I do NOT want...

I have tried passing my hand over the driver's door pillar keypad area in all different directions and different speeds, and sometimes it lights up and is ready for entry on the first pass..... but usually it takes several passes from different direction, and occasionally it just doesn't. So...

I have a little over 20k miles on my second set of tires. While rotating front to back as I usually do ever 5k miles or so, I noticed that while the wear across most of the tire is even, the inside 2" or so are MUCH more worn. Stock Select wheels are 18" x 7.5" wide with inset=38, tires 225...

so I let my 'Connected Services' lapse. I refuse to pay for maps I can get for free on my phone.... are you listening @Ford Motor Company ? Turns out that the 'Native' Navigation Maps do not update if you do this.... which is pissing me off. I don't want or need interactive mapping layers that...

I've been a proponent of the Ford Mobile for 'daily use' charging... partly because it was 'included' with my purchase, and partly because it worked flawlessly charging my '21, and my wife's BMW PHEV 330e, until now. Yesterday I got a slow charge with charge rate bouncing around between 3kw and...

I let Connected Services lapse on purpose... I think it's unreasonable to have to pay to renew a feature that was an integral part of the vehicle when I bought it. I missed being able to 'speak' my destination while moving, but I am now used to stopping to punch in the address. However, it has...

Last night we had a massive lightning storm in Santa Fe... knocked out power in my corner of town from 5pm yesterday afternoon to 5am this morning. I was kinda thrilled to get a chance to put my ePony thru the paces and power my 'whole house' as an emergency generator for a solid 12 hours. ran...

Making holes in the driver's side beauty cover to expose 12v+, 12v, and HV disconnect is a good DIY mod which takes 5 minutes with a 1-7/8 hole saw; and it works fine for emergency access to charge or jump. BUT, alligator clamps do not provide enough surface area to carry much current for...

I got an email today (6/14/24) from @Ford Motor Company thanking me for my patience and encouraging me to check on status. So, I logged into Ford.com and my order page still shows original ship date of July 2024 for my order (#22003).... and there is no change on the page, still shows July. so...

As you all are aware, our MMEs have 12v +/- 'connection points', along with the HV disconnect relay, well hidden under the driver's side 'beauty cover'. One of my first DIY mods was to use a 1-7/8 hole saw to cut access ports to make these important connections accessible for safety, first...

I ran my original battery 39 months... tested shortly before 36 months hoping for warranty replacement, but it still tested ok. 'Great' SoH in fact... So I thought I'd charge to 100% and test monthly until it had a problem; thinking that since these little batteries are not cranking a starter...

'Save' your custom dashboard open CarScanner Settings -> Dashboard , scroll to bottom, click 'Save' button This creates a file 'dashboard.json' ; Carscanner gives you options on where to save/share the configuration file. You can share to email, and email it to yourself or someone else, or you...

--- updated choices 5/2/2014, and enabled multiple selections to reflect 'why' --- I have a real problem with the way @Ford Motor Company manages OTA Software updates... The lack of version control, release notes, and the lack of the ability to roll back to or skip ahead to a known stable...

Looks like a2zevshop carries a range of adaptors and ports.... and now a V2L they say will export up to 20amps from CCS port. https://a2zevshop.com/collections/charging-adapters/products/v2l-j1772 [update 3/7/24] - I got a call from CEO... the V2L adaptor is NOT compatible with Ford Mach-e or...

I don't usually use Android Auto for anything.... but it keeps trying to connect every time I use the USB cord to charge phone while I am driving. Even worse, since the 2/23/24 AA update on the phone side, my carScanner app doesn't connect to the ODB2 properly.... it gets thru the first ELM...

as I approached 36k miles and just passed 3 years of ownership.... I find myself wondering how long the 12v battery will perform adequately past 3-year warranty (assuming that your internal dc-dc and charging modules are working correctly to maintain the 12v battery). [updated 6/4/24] - Be...
