  1. So, my Tesla adapter isn't working

    I went to try out the Tesla Supercharger adapter today. I have Blue Oval charging network setup as prescribed and successfully used it on Electrify America chargers. I went into the Charging app on the infotainmant center and, sadly none of the Superchargers near me are compatible. So, I...
  2. Let's talk about a dangerous, and maybe deadly, BlueCruise flaw

    Warning TL;DR but you should read it. I love Blue Cruise and I especially love the Hands Free part of Blue Cruise. I drive the freeways of Southern California. Some of the busiest freeways in the world are here and BCHF makes it a dream to drive them. But, over the last few months I've...
  3. A good dealer story and the benefit of an extended warranty

    I was having trouble with my Blue Cruise just stopping. I'd get the orange oval with the word canceled underneath. I had deduced that this only occurred when the car was physically hot. It'd be ok in the morning but wouldn't work at all in the afternoon on a 100+ degree day. So, I took to...
  4. What happened to password to start?

    ** Solved, but not really solved, see below ** I can successfully open the door with the keypad but I can no longer trigger the password to start the car. I press the start button over and over many times and all I get is message on the IP that no key is found. The infotainment screen never...

    So, I have this problem that causes Blue Cruise to stop working when the exterior of the car gets hot. I suspect it's a radar issue. This started happening in April. I'm taking it in for service this week. I'm also in the EA program and have software, mainly Blue Cruise related, that is...

  8. Adaptive Cruise Control issues

    Hey, About 50% of the times that I drive on the freeway since April I get a pop up message "Adaptive Cruise Control Not Available" when trying to use Blue Cruise. When that happens I can't use traditional cruise control for the rest of the trip. Today, for example, I drove 90 miles in one...
  9. What are these "Open Field Service Actions?"

    I get my monthly health report and these have shown up for a while. This month I click on the "View Full report" button and it takes me to my Ford login. After logging in it tells me that a "vehicle health report is not available". Anyway, what are these two alerts and why can't I see them...
  10. *** SOLVED AGAIN, I THINK *** After 3 years of no issues, new FordPass KILLED PAAK

    I've been an exclusive PAAK user for over 3 years. I love it. I also beta tested the new FordPass app. Hated it. I could never get some of the functionality to work. I tried it several times, always reverting back to the original model. But today I was "treated" to the new version...
  11. Recently Intelligent Cruise control stops working

  13. The enigma that is the Early Access program

  17. Why is there so much anxiety over 1.3?

    I have BCHF on my 2021 Job 1 car. It does the job I want it to do with regard to hands free. I love using it. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't 1.3 only add lane change, truck cowering and additional HF during turns? Why is that something to be so anxious about? What am I missing here...
  18. Why you should never use wireless charging

    and why I recommend you always keep the phone in your pocket. It was July 2009 and I was driving my 2009 Ford Edge. My phone was connected to the car and I had enabled 911 assist. The phone was snuggled tightly in a phone cradle that mounted in one of the cup holders. After trying many...
