    Lost Wireless CarPlay

    Wireless CarPlay issues can be related to either Sync or the iPhone itself...and sometimes both. In my experience issues happen on long drives (where it runs for hours) or when doing lots of short drives (power the car on/off in a short period of time). Assuming Wireless CarPlay was working...

    Would you still buy the Mach E today?

    This goes to what I like and dislike about the MME. I have the 2022 version. At the moment, if I had to do it again, I would look at the Kia EV6 or Hyundia Ionic 5 or simular. That said, I bought it because I had access to all the versions GT, Premium, and base and spend a few weekends with...

    Exiting a freeway while BlueCruise enabled

    BCHF is just ADAS where you can take your hands off the wheel. Most newer cars have a form of ADAS, but require some form of driver input on the steering wheel....even in a Telsa (without FSD)....and this has nothing to do with being a BEV. It's a small feature enhancement to move from having...

    FordPass 4.23.0 is available

    Well, that explains that problem. You can add "Me too". I actually had Ford Pass refuse to start my car remotely for two days but that fixed itself...but now the Apple Watch app doesn't work....have to pull the phone put to do it. Wonderful. Not. Mark

    CarPlay problems (disconnects/failed to connect) and SYNC 4A crash: Are these common issues?

    Thanks actually happened to me after I got a OTA update to "Power up 3.5.4.3" (or something like that). The profiles were unavailable and it wouldn't switch and got stuck in guess. It took a sync reboot and some persistence, and eventually, it came back. Occasionally, it loses it and I have to...

    CarPlay problems (disconnects/failed to connect) and SYNC 4A crash: Are these common issues?

    I don't disagree. I find that things work better if you reboot sync. I had to do that a few times on my last road trip. Keep in mind, Apple is also making changes....and CarPlay isn't bug free from their side either. I've had CarPlay go up on my 2020 VW Tiguan....and it only have a wired...

    CarPlay problems (disconnects/failed to connect) and SYNC 4A crash: Are these common issues?

    I find CarPlay works like a charm....until you have to use the USB cord to charge the phone....which is almost any road trip because the charging pad overheats the phone. Managed to duplicate this problem yesterday.

    False positives in Blind Spot Detection: Anyone else seen this?

    Thanks everyone for your responses and @Mach-Lee some some detail on the radar system running the Blind Spot detection. After driving with the bike on the rack this week during the day, I can say that day/night has no effect. In some way, I wish when the rear parking sensors auto disabled...

    False positives in Blind Spot Detection: Anyone else seen this?

    I've had my Mach-E for about 6 weeks. While it handles well, is fun to drive, I find some of the software "lacking". I have to wonder if anyone else has seen this issue with blind spot detection. I'm getting false positives...which aren't much of an issue unto themselves because one can ignore...

    Phone As Key - Does anyone's work consistently?

    I find PAAK works for me, so long as I don't have a hand full of groceries. No joke. I seems to know when my hands are full....and then I have pull my phone, open FordPass and it works. How well is works seems to be related to how awake the phone is...if I pull my phone out and unlock. it on...

    CarPlay problems (disconnects/failed to connect) and SYNC 4A crash: Are these common issues?

    I'm a new Mach-E owner. Had it now for about a month. 2022 Mach-E Premium. Love the car. The car is great. Fast. Fun to drive. I has been working fine unless last week when CarPlay started to fail to connect. I'm using a iPhone 12 Pro using iOS 16. Sometimes you can go into the phone list and...
