I'm surprised to see this, but as I was turning off the car this afternoon and opening the rear hatch from settings, I thought I saw a message on the center console about "software update." Sure enough, it was telling me there'd be an inhibit install for an OBCC update. This is my first OTA...
I didn't see anyone else posting this article, so... discuss and enjoy.

I just finished a 1000+ mile trip, using BC 1.3 for about 70% of the driving.
Pros: very little ping-ponging, only had it drop out approximately six times. I drive mainly in the slow lane, so some of the ping-ponging occurred because of the line markers on the right side disappearing on...
We received our A2Z adapter yesterday and decided to test out Plug and Charge at the Tesla SC while we were there. I went into FordPass to turn it on (I'd previously done this just to make sure it worked) but every time I tried to toggle the setting it would wait for about 5-10 seconds, then no...
I posted this photo on Twitter last year from a trip to Death Valley. This was taken along Artist's Drive. Ford reached out for permission to use in the future. I said sure, just notify me if you use it. After I submitted I never heard anything, so if anyone ever sees this pop up somewhere...
Last weekend I received an unknown OTA update (no description, but sounds something like this; the CorrelationID was FIRE-PRD-SOFTWARE-FVN2-650160-722885-12756) and other then being curious if this would finally unlock 2.8.3 or 224S1/22S29 didn't think anything of it. However, Monday we left on...
I've been thinking about renaming the app and wanted to hear some opinions. My reasons are:
Now that not just Mach-E owners are using it the name is inaccurate;
The technique I use to make the single app version "look" like an app for each different vehicles has some issues;
I'm considering...
Had this pop up this morning, without any description:
I checked the URL embedded in the JSON and the text reads
Digital Owners Manual
This update includes a Digital Owners Manual that will allow you
to access information about your vehicle through your SYNC4 screen.
Edit: I think this is...
Just had this pop up about 20 minutes ago:
Ford Power-Up 2.5.1
Some minor fine-tuning to keep everything up to date.
As a result of these updates you may see a message in your screen behind the steering wheel, stating, “Reverse Brake Assist not available. See manual”. This message is accurate...
After tonesto7's posted his fantastic widget for iOS, I became interested in trying to do something similar for Android. It's been a few years since I did any coding for Android, and never anything involving widgets or network access. I only wanted something to let me see info on my car, and...
Our Mach E is riding the train between Kansas and NorCal. The ETA was originally estimated for this week but since it was in New Mexico yesterday that seems unlikely. We were planning to use Options to get the $2500 rebate, but after 3/31 that's an unknown. We talked with our dealer about it...
How is the charging door secured (IS it secured)? In a recent video from one of the auto shows it appeared that someone just walked up to the charging door and opened it. Is there an internal release for it? What do other Fords like the Fusion or C-MAX Energi have?
