Hey, I stopped using SmartCharge since around October. Ford threatened to close my account because of the way SmartCharge was accessing their API. I reached out to SC and they promised to make changes to fix this and that I would "hear back soon" but I havent heard anything since before...
I believe VIN MACH E is PAAK and Mustang Mach-E is typical Bluetooth phone/audio
Not sure what you mean by the final question but I think CarPlay makes use of the Mustang Mach-E connection to connect, followed by WiFi to maintain that connection during use which is also why you’ll never be able...
have someone intentionally call you while it's connected to carplay and start lowering the volume with the switch on the steering wheel. afaik there's no way to specifically pick out whether to lower phone vs music volume. this will also lower the gps speech volume.
I have auto park on my 22 but I don’t trust it enough to use it consistently.
It has trouble identifying open parking spaces on the first try and requires quite a bit of space in front and behind so you can slowly roll back and forth past the spot so the space can be detected. It also flies...
I think the "crapping on Mach E" is going to mostly/only come from YouTube reviewers. It's their job to nitpick though they make valid points such as:
the HVBJB issue that Ford has allowed to linger in the air

ha, created a new account to try this and got a reset password email just now (1.5 hours after). looks like this won't be a viable option for ev.energy.
Wouldn't this add Fordpass as an "actively used integration" just by registering it in the first place? or would the lack of activity remove Fordpass from consideration?
in the same boat, relying on ev.energy for the charging incentives. had a lengthy conversation with FordPass support where they told me to use a different email with the ev.energy service.. did so and it was fine for 2 weeks but still had 29 reset password emails come in yesterday.
this is an...
Been getting these emails every day this week. I connect my account to my utility provider who provides a credit based on my charging activity.
Contacted FordPass support who suggested that I use a different email from the one that's assigned to my FordPass account to avoid the "suspicious...
got the popup for 6.3.0 tonight while waiting on a red light that my update had finished installing.. weird because i checked on it as soon as i jumped in the car but it was still showing the 6.2.0 notes and didnt say anything was downloading.
I don’t use these magnetic holders myself (I simply plug in the cable) but I assume a major reason is due to how useless the car’s wireless charger becomes when wireless CarPlay is active. It heats up the phone to the point that thermal limitations take place while the battery level drops during...
