    In time for Halloween... My car is haunted.

    The last time I used nav in my car was months ago. I plugged my Android in to freshen the battery and continue Pandora. As soon as I started the car it announced: (paraphrasing) "The planned route may have delays". 10 seconds later it started playing music. What the ..... ?

    Interesting read on the future of gasoline, it’s cost, reluctance to throw money at aging infrastructure and the rising cost of insuring a refinery. It's easier to pull the plug. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/26/biden-gas-prices-inflation-future-00046083?utm_source=pocket-newtab

    What's in this update? Oh... not much.

    Ford Pass's update info screen really isn't worth much today. I just thought I'd have a look to see what update I'm up to.

    Lift gate has no power some times, has power other times.

    No PAAK, fob is 70 feet away, car is unlocked, I don't change settings/choices, etc. If I push the outside button the gate sometimes lifts itself, sometimes it only unlatches allowing me to lift it manually. I can't imagine what makes it decide to behave one way or the other. It's happened...

    Parking brake applying with shift to Park.

    New OTA a few days ago (2.7.1), I've noticed that the parking brake is now being applied when I shift to park. Is this really part of the update or has something else been changed on the dash panel?

    Hyundai Ioniq 5 12V battery problems... also.

    There are more than a few articles and Youtubes of Ioniq 5 owners with dead 12 volt batteries. I like the small 12v jumper battery this guy has. Has anyone found happiness with one of these?

    Fill up in 9 seconds with quantum technology...?

    Sorry, I'm a little behind on the latest ways to squeeze a battery's worth of power through a wire in 9 seconds. Sounds a little like making 400 slices of toast at the same time. Sure, you might be able to do it, but I've only got 200 amp service. Any opinions on this...

    Your system is up to date.

    Your system is up to date. I'm at 1.4 with auto updates on. There is no button to push to force an update. (June '21 build) This is really a nonsense message. If I'm not allowed to get future updates, just post THAT as the message.
