    AM Radio / Priority Update 23-PU0907-RAD-ON

    I noticed the posts about OTA 7.0.0 and thought I'd go out to check the car ... but when I did, instead of 7.0, I found this. This is on a '23.0. My '21 has AM radio -- so this is new for the '23.

    Glossary of Acronyms?

    As updates come in, we are often told the update was for the GWM (Gateway Module) or BCM (Body Control Module) or ... TCU. TCU? What's a TCU? I was hoping for an ACU (Antimatter Containment Unit). :rolleyes: There are lot of acronyms that I haven't learned. Is there a glossary somewhere...

    Power-up 6.2.0 déjà vu

    OTA 6.2.0 was re-released. I already received 6.2.0 ... but just got it again today. It is not an error ... it's a re-release with changes.

    Clear a key-fob?

    A couple of weeks ago, my '21 FE lost it's brain and refused to recognize PaaK. Fortunately I was at home so I just needed to grab a key-fob. In this scenario, FordPass showed my PaaK was configured, but the car wouldn't recognize it. Since the car refused to recognize PaaK ... it ALSO...

    Need high-quality close-up photo of lower-trim piece please

    The lower trim piece on my '23 GT Performance was damaged. The body shop ordered a replacement and when it arrived, they said Ford docs don't specify the color. They asked me to bring my car by so they could inspect it to make sure they had the correct black color (they needed to know if it...

    '23 Build Week 10/31/2022

    Nevermind ... I see there was already a thread for 2023 cars. Doesn't look like I can delete this but ... I'm sure a moderator will be along shortly to make this disappear. I just got my VIN and build-week assignment. This is a model year 2023 car. Ordered: Aug 30, 2022 (first day of '23...

    Badging

    Today while driving through downtown Dearborn, I saw another Mach-E ... but what caught my eye was the badging. On the rear lift-gate it had the pony badge ... and just below the pony, another badge labeled "Mach-E". I thought the owner had a custom badge made ... until I noticed it had...

    Met the Ford team today + charging tips from Donna Dickson (Mach-E Chief Engineer)

    I got to meet some of the folks behind the @Ford Motor Company today ... a really cool experience. Also, I got to see one of these in person for the first time -- surprising because living in Dearborn I'm really surprised I haven't seen one on the roads around town (I saw several Mach-E's...

    Thoughts on the price of gas

    My "other" car is an '09 Ford Escape Hybrid. I filled up the other day for $3.89/gallon ... but most stations around here were over $4 (currently most stations are around $4.29 and I saw one station at $4.49). So I was checking out the data at GasBuddy.com and I made this chart: You can see...

    Auto-locking/un-locking coming to Ford Connected Charge Station

    I'm in the Early Access Program and was invited to use a new feature coming to the Ford Connection Charge Station (FCCS). This will mostly be of interest to those who have their charge station located outside -- especially if it in an area where it might be accessible to others. The FCCS has...

    Road Tripping report and LOVING the SYNC 4A navigation system!

    For the holidays @AEtherScythe and I are headed to Florida (from Michigan). We were *supposed* to go to Washington DC (Lorton, VA - about 500 miles for us) and board the Amtrak AutoTrain. When were were nearly there, the phone rang and an Amtrak robo-call announced that our train had been...

    After CSP 21P22 install ... check your charging settings

    I just had the dealer install the 21P22 updates. When I got home and connected the charger, I noticed the car started charging (it shouldn't charge until off-peak rates kick in at 11pm). I checked FordPass and it reset my charge settings. It was planning to charge to 100%. I had to...

    "Winter is coming"

    We had snow yesterday with temps in the low 30°F's. @AEtherScythe and I had to drive down to his parents house for his brother's birthday. When we left the house it was a steady snowfall and 32°F. I'm driving and the snow seems to be melting as soon as it hits any surfaces ... so the roads...

    Stopping a charge at EA (or any DC Fast Charge station)

    I've worked out how to do quite a few things with the car and learned a lot of tips & tricks ... but there is one that still eludes me. When I'm at Electrify America ... if I use the screen on the EA charge station to "stop" the the charge (e.g. once I reach 80%) I get a charge fault error in...

    "Car Scanner" (OBD software) now supports Mach-E

    I bought an OBD adapter (in my case it was the OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth interface) and I've tried different apps with it. My adapter comes with OBDLink software ... but that doesn't have direct support for the Mach-E. I also tried FORScan ... which also doesn't have direct support yet for Mach-E...

    Did I get someone else's Ford Pass message?

    Today at 1:15p Eastern I got a message in the Ford Pass app: Desired charge level will not be reached Mach-E will only reach 89% by your Departure Time, as there is not enough time to charge. But... I don't have any scheduled departures. I have the car configured to limit charging to 80% and...

    Ford Pass on Apple Watch

    Apparently I'm not alone... https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/fordpass-app-and-apple-watch.2282560/ But at least it's a generic Ford Pass bug and nothing specific to the Mach-E. Hopefully it gets Ford's attention and they get a software update -- or instructions on how to fix it -- soon.
