  1. ios 27 supports CarPlay video apps

    I doubt Ford is going to enable this in existing vehicles. They don't want the support hassle of users complaining that these streaming apps are stuttering or audio drops out when they have no control over the user's bandwidth/connectivity. The average user will look at the Netflix/YouTube/Hulu...
  2. Dealership wanted over $1,500 for "Parking Sensor Fault" problem

    A soldering iron and heat shrink or crimp on connectors might be adequate for a shade tree mechanic, but absolutely not a dealer shop. They have to stand behind their work and make sure it can stand up to all the environmental elements it will be exposed to. It isn't because this is a more...
  3. iPhone 15 Pro IOS V. 26.2 killed the CarPlay in MME

    Do you use a VPN on your phone by chance? You would think that wouldn't make a difference, but there was an old post here about wired or wireless CarPlay issues and someone posted a Apple support KB article that said VPNs could prevent CarPlay connectivity.
  4. Apple Maps and communication issue

    I have this a few times a month. I use Maps daily. It usually resolves itself after a few minutes.
  5. IOS 26 Apple Maps Pinch to Zoom?

    The turn by turn list will appear on the iPhone if you open Maps on the phone while connected to CarPlay.
  6. Since thank yous

    My dad has a '25 Blazer RS. The ride is much smoother. I like the instrument cluster display much better. There are many options to choose from. I initially had a deposit on one before they were shipping to dealers. When GM announced no longer supporting CarPlay/AA in their EVs, I cancelled the...
  7. Drivers Seat Tears in 2022 Premium

    2023 Job 2 w/ 51k miles and I have the same wear issue. Didn't notice it until last month.
  8. Some speakers sometimes just don’t work - a sync reboot fixes it

    I've only experienced this with CarPlay. Unplugging my phone and plugging it back in resolves it every time. Seems similar to what @HuntingPudel does - switch sources.
  9. I play not connecting

    I have trouble connecting CarPlay wired from time to time. I usually unplug and plug in or reboot sync to resolve. Sometimes I wonder if Sync just isn't ready to read USB devices.
  10. Should I turn Hot Spot off? Is it necessary?

    Make that a dozen and one. I use Mint Mobile for $240/yr. I also get the AT&T internet service in the MME at $200/yr. After taxes and fees for both services, let's round it up to $40/mo. Still cheaper than paying any of the big 3 wireless providers for a single line and my daughter can use Wi-Fi...
  11. Apple Maps Adding Charging to Route???

    Maps is using the last known charge level in your vehicle. If you charge overnight and the phone hasn't picked up the current charge level in CarPlay, it may add a charging stop. When I parked last night, my vehicle was at 18%. If I try to navigate to work on my phone right now, it is adding a...
  12. Try This First - Powertrain Malfunction / High-Voltage Battery Warning / Service Vehicle Soon While Charging

    2nd time in a week I got a SSN message in the garage. 1st time was Sunday the 9th. Came out to find an orange ring indicator. Turned the vehicle on and got SSN. I panicked a bit because I had to get my daughter to her dance class. Pulled the 12v battery but apparently didn't wait long enough...
  13. Post here if you have an active FDRS account and are willing to look up info for others

    Just got a SSN in my garage after hearing the contactors cycle multiple times when plugging in to my L2 charger. Can someone look up the codes? 3FMTK3SU1PMA62891 FYI, I did pull the neg cable off the battery for 5 minutes before remembering I have a ODB dongle and Car Scanner. I dumped the...
  14. Winter Hypermiling Club - Can you beat 1.8 mi/kWh at 0° F?

    -10F this morning when I left for work. 32mi trip mostly on highways. Heat set at 68 with some use of the MAX Defrost button. Departure set for 8am, but didn't leave until 9:30am Cruise set to 75 on the interstate and N/S US HWY and 65 for the E/W US HWY. I got 1.9
  15. Has anyone tried one of these alternative 12V batteries?

    It needs to constantly draw power to keep the transceiver on, otherwise it wouldn't be able to connect to the endpoint (phone)
  16. Memory Recall Message

    Good thought on PaaK vs. fob. I always have both unless I forget my fob.
  17. Front USB Ports - UPDATE!

    If that happens again, try a Sync reset. I haven't had a problem with the USB ports not charging devices, but when Sync does a reset, the power on those ports will cycle off and on.
  18. Short Roadtrip; Testing Tesla V4 Supercharger and Ionna Charger in Ohio

    Nice Gulf color scheme on the Ionna chargers!
  19. Memory Recall Message

    I got that this morning. I hit 1 on the drivers door seat memory to make sure my seat is where I want it to be and make sure my driver profile is selected on the center screen. It has to be a bug. It happens a few times a month.
