I haven't connected my parking mode yet (just don't have any energy to do it right now), but in my previous car, I had a parking camera for years without any issues.
The way it works is:
* you connect to an "always-on" fuse, like someone mentioned
* the parking-mode wire has a special circuit...
i've been getting this for the past couple of months. I'm hesitant of taking it to the dealer as they will charge me $300 for diagnostics and, most likely, not find anything. I'm of a mindset that unless i have exact steps to reproduce, dealer won't find anything.
I can charge at fast charging...
I have the same situation as you... I did not take note, when this first started happening, but timing sounds very close to yours...
My ChargePoint L2 charger (been using it since 2017) is reporting that charge is complete. Ford app says "Charge Fault".
It hasn't happened in the past couple of...
I have a similar CarPlay issues, but never took it to the dealer.
My issues are:
Problem 1: No audio
Problem 2: Once every couple of months, only 1/2 of my speakers work for music via CarPlay (yes, my sound is set on "center"). What's weird is that phone calls utilize all speakers
How I deal...
anytime I am not on a trusted wifi (my house, my parent's house), I have VPN on my phone. Never had any issues.
I am not using PIA, Nord or anything else though... I am using WireGuard that connects to my home network. So, anytime I am not home, all my traffic is routed via my home network.
Yeah, as I saw that paper, I vaguely recall finance guy tell me about it. I don’t recall if I was given an option to opt out though (or if I was given the option, but wasn’t aware of the FordPass’ tracking capabilities).
But yes, it is on me - 100%.
mystery solved...
Apparently I purchased some Spartan RecoveryLync Plus BS for $999.00 😱
The serial numbers on the contract matched those on the device.
Apparently, it's a 7 year service. I wonder if I can cancel it (given that ford pass can do the same) and recoup some of the expenses...
I think those devices are like Verizon hum (or whatever they’re called).
Yeah… I moved it next to a store, not my house.
Good call on pulling up all the paperwork. I’ll do that today.
Thanks for all the replies. I really appreciate it.
My mind was racing thinking what could have caused this. Seeing so many replies stating that it is dealer-installed, calmed me down a bit.
To shed some light on my situation..
I did buy it new (not leased). I financed it and never missed a...
I bought it, but it is financed.
ChatGPT is saying that dealer could've installed it, when the car was on the lot, to track it for theft... I am hesitant calling them asking questions.
It was plugged into my ODBII connector. It essentially served as a pass-through ODBII. I did not take any...
Hi all,
I just found a GPS tracker in my car
Model: sp-gv53mg-ql (https://mondotracking.com/product/gv50mg-lte-vehicle-tracking/)
I did not put it there. Is this legit?
Thanks!
I used to have a 2016 VW e-Golf (traded in for '23 mach-E) and 2018 Nissan Rogue. My VW premiums were about the same as my Nissan's premiums. With Mach-E, it went up.
Went from:
2023 (June):
* Nissan: 467
* eGolf: 512
2023 (December):
* Nissan: 468
* machE: 791
2024 (June):
* Nissan...
I think a lot of insurance companies are leaving CA and that is the reason for price hikes.
My home insurance and umbrella insurance have also went up in price.
Sadly, I think that the only way to lower your rates are to move out of state :(
that's weird :(
So, you're now on Ford Pass 5.8.2 and iOS 18.1.1?
When I did that, Ford Pass did not appear immediately. It took a few mins. But then you said that you've rebooted. I would assume that would have re-initialized everything for you 🤔
maybe reach out to Ford for support?
