Has anyone else noticed very bad audio quality in Youtube? I don't know any of the finer details of how the browser's audio have been implemented, but something is amiss. The audio from youtube is quite often overmodulated (clipping occurs). No matter what the volume level of the system is. It...

There's been enough chatter scattered throughout other threads on this, I figured we might as well have a dedicated thread to discuss it. I always appreciate having a thread I know I can go to for updates and news on a specific issue. As far as I can tell it's specifically 2021 Job 1 vehicles...

Between last night and this morning I've noticed that my Ford Pass app is not updating correctly. When I pull down to refresh it does in fact load everything, with no errors. But it is missing information. When I plugged in to charge last night, it showed that my car was going to charge all the...

When using the dial to turn down audio volume I have to be very careful to not accidentally push in on the dial as well. If I do, the system misinterprets that as me pushing the power button and turns of my audio completely. If I'm not turning the dial and just push in it operates normally...

My SO recently got a Tesla, and I'm loving the integrated Spotify app. I am investigating the Ford Streaming service to see if it's worth it. I know it gets you Youtube and NBC (who actually uses that one? o_O ). I know in the marketing materials they mention Amazon Music and Spotify. But...

Today just for fun I went to the Ford website and used the configurator to build my exact spec of car. I was shocked and extremely disappointed at what I saw. A bit of context: I've owned my Mach E since April of 2021. Very early build. I got VERY lucky with the timing of my purchase. I got it...

I've been having some strange, somewhat sporadic problems with AC charging my car recently. It started with my home charger (a custom built unit by openEVSE). My car would charge for a while, then randomly stop and say "charge station error". When I tried to re-plug my EVSE interface would flash...

An open letter to @Ford Motor Company - If you're reading this, you're likely on the social media team, and aren't allowed to respond to this type of post. But I'm just trying to get some attention on this. So please pass this on internally! I use BC with intelligent cruise control every day...

I've been having an issue with the map data on I-15 near where I live in Utah. The speed limit is 70, but there are 2 spots on the freeway (about 1/2 mile apart) where the car thinks the speed limit is 50. It's kinda dangerous, as you're cruising along all of a sudden the car will just stomp on...

Back in the early days Paak was horribly unreliable. Now it works reliably, but it's just a matter of speed. And I suspect that has to do with the phone. I thought it might be interesting to see if we can find out! How fast is yours on average? Please respond with your speed bracket and which...

After the most recent wave of updates (2.8.2/2.8.3) I've been noticing that the connected nav has been suggesting really bad routes. The biggest thing I've noticed is it seems to like to avoid the interstate. Instead it will take side roads that take significantly longer. Almost as if it's...

To preface this, I installed BC via FDRS, so theoretically I didn't need the software updates, but 2 days ago I received 2.8.2 and yesterday I got 2.8.3. The install for 2.8.2 was completely invisible to me. Car just told me when it was done. 2.8.3 I had no idea it was installing, but it made...

Just something interesting I've noted with blue cruise. Should you be in a situation where you want to go back to normal "hands on" lane centering... You basically can't. In the driver assist menu you can have lane centering with hands free turned on or off. There's no option for Hands on. On...

I installed blue cruise via FDRS (customer satisfaction 21G01) Software installed fine with no hitches. Car shows hands free driving mode, good till October, everything fine there. But the server side activation never came. No notice in Ford Pass, no email, no blue cruise in connected...

Today I was renting a Y on a work trip. First time spending a large amount of time with it and I have some thoughts on the auto steer system. some good. Some bad. Overall though, I was surprised to find that general performance of the system is very similar to Mach E. It gets talked up so much...

I have noticed something odd in the echo chamber that is this forum. A new update comes out, an EA member reports it, other EA members confirm, and everyone else gets FOMO. I suspect this is in part because the percentage of active users on here that are in EA is far higher than the actual ratio...

Been living with the new IPC UI for a few days now, and I've noted a few small but meaningful changes. (and a couple that are totally meaningless) The warnings have ok buttons now (very good for usability's sake) When you have the frunk open it tells you in two separate warnings that the frunk...

So, I got an fdrs license for the first time since October and ran all of the updates my car had (Which were many) So for those thinking of doing the same to get blue cruise, let me share how the journey has gone so far Not all, but most of the updates available for me were related to the blue...

Ford is definitely about to push an update that requires the car to be parked. And it's quite apparent they're very worried about people whining about it. So here's yet another form of communication on it that popped up in Ford pass.. I'm guessing the rumored 2.5.2 will be the first "parked" update

So I just had a fun thing happened with my audio system! When I got into my car and started it instead of hearing the usual chimes I heard a series of very loud crackles and Pops from the speakers as if audio cables were being plugged in and unplugged repeatedly to a live amp. Android Auto...
