  1. A better route planner (ABRP) and OBD connection

    Has anyone had success connecting the ABRP android app to their MME with an OBDLink mx+ adapter? I signed up for a monthly subscription and was hoping to get this working. ABRP just never sees the adapter. I have the CarScanner app talking to the mx+ just fine (I do disconnect and close Car...
  2. ADOT announces new L3 sites in AZ

    Yea! https://azdot.gov/news/adot-announces-awards-18-ev-charging-station-locations No word on who will own and operate them or when they will be completed. Probably not Tesla since all will have CCS plugs.
  3. Adaptive cruise control "phantom car" issue

    I have had an intermittent issue with the adaptive cruise control seeing a phantom car in front and slowing down. When this happens and I remain hands free in blue cruise, the car throws up a red box "adaptive cruise control" with a crash icon and beeps a lot. When I disengage blue cruise and...
  4. FDRS and Mongoose+ over bluetooth

    I tried searching old threads, but didn't see a clear answer. Does FDRS work with the Mongoose+ over bluetooth? I'm debating if spending the extra $140 is worth the benefit of being able to use the laptop without the cable. While the Mongoose+ has a backup USB cable I can use, I'd rather...
  5. vehicle health alerts/reports

    My GTPE threw the "stop safely now" and other powertrain messages a week ago. The car was connected to my FordPass app and the wifi at home. Later that night, I did see it "phone home" to Ford since my fordpass home assisant plugin saw the 12v batter go to 24% @ 1am. Shouldn't my phone...
  6. Charge limit ignored for location based setting

    I have a charging location programmed to limit charge to 90% at home. That' s been working perfect since last July. Yesterday, after a 10 mile trip the car was plugged in and charged to 100%. I saw folks were having this issue 2 years ago and the consensus was a wrong GPS coordinate was the...
  7. PSA: disable ad blockers when setting up phone as a key

    I just got a Pixel 8 Pro and was setting up phone as a key. The Fordpass app kept crashing after I clicked setup phone as key -> get started -> next. buttons When the app restarted, I would get a notification that my phone was successfully setup as a key, but the app kept telling me to set it...
  8. Fixing rattle in cargo area plastic grill cover

    I'm not sure what this plastic grill cover is. It looks like a speaker cover, but it has something white behind the holes. Maybe it's and cabin exhaust flaps? This thing rattles a lot (bad kind) when playing music with a lot of low bass beats. Anyone have tips how to remove the panel? I'd like...
  9. unusual brake pedal glitch right when coming to a complete stop

    Sometimes when my GTPE is about to come to a complete stop, the brake pedal goes slightly soft for half a second, then recovers to regular firmness. It's not the antilock brakes since these are just regular brake episodes. Not sure if it's the regenerative braking clicking off or what. It...
  10. falsely detecting vehicle ahead

    My car has started to see phantom cars in front of it. With no driving assist features on, the screen will show a red box in front of my car, indicating I'm following too close to vehicle in front of me, but there is none there. It's not constant - sometimes is starts to toggle between red and...
  11. IR transmissivity of side and rear windows.

    I've got a MME GTPE. I noticed the 2 rear windows and the tailgate glass are slightly darker than the front 2 door windows. My dealer originally had "tint" listed as an add on, but they removed that from the sales contract. I'm trying to figure out if they are truly tinted or not. I looked...
  12. Batttery precondition for the hot desert summers

    I'm educating myself about battery preconditioning for hot temps. I'm curious what experiences those of you in the >100 areas have with the MME. 99% of the time my MME will be garage housed, so most outings in the > 100 tempos will be local outings of 50 miles or less. I plan to store it at...
  13. Nothing but green window stickers

    I've been monitoring a couple of local dealer inventories for the past month for all MMEs just to get a feeling of what supply is out there. Around 90-95% of what I find are green window stickers (custom orders). I found one, maybe two blue stickers (retail orders). Has anyone else seen this...
  14. tracking a shipping from a dealer order?

    I found a dealer order that is now fully built and as of today "shipped". Is there any way to track the shipment progress on such an order? I have called the dealer and they said they would contact me when it arrives, but I'd prefer to know myself for sure. I don't want to keep asking them if...
  15. 6/5/2023 build gang

    Despite previous rumors no scheduling would occur this week, I just got the email today (4/13/2023) announcing my build got scheduled for 6/5/2023 week,
  16. black high gloss 20" wheels

    How much protection do the factor tires provide for the 20" black, high gloss wheels? Every care I have owned at some point gets a nasty curb scrape. Maybe if that happens a touch up with gloss paint would help hide it.
  17. current timelines for order progress

    I've looked through all the sticky threads and other threads to find the info I'm looking for, but didn't find it. I'm wanting to understand what the typical progress is for orders. Something like this (t minus, just like a rocket countdown): t-0 weeks = at dealer for customer pickup t-a weeks...
  18. explanation of a specific VIN window sticker price

    I found a GT performance model at a local dealer, but the window sticker confuses me. The base price matches what I get when I build a GT performance option, however the window sticker adds a $6k "option" listed as GT performance edition. Thus, the local model sticker price is $6k more than if...
