WC Ford installed our dash cam with external battery. Hid all the wires and no issue with draining battery. Wasn’t “official” maintenance. But great work.
We are, too. Did a good amount of driving over the long weekend and it’s both fun to drive and relaxing. One pedal driving is great and the combo of adaptive/lane keep/Blue Cruise removes a lot of stress in congested traffic.
Hope your install goes well.
Here's what I bought:
Dash cam - front & rear
External battery
Memory card
I used my 22,000 points for discount on Ford Connected Charging Station, but assume you could cash in for discount on installation. Call and arrange with Service Manager Tim Lautze. They were super helpful.
I had to...
I was afraid of that. Sorry to hear. Walnut Creek isn’t the closest option for you, but they installed my equipment. Figured it was worth a few more bucks to have dealership do it. Tim is Service Manager there if you want to call and give that a try. The tech removed several panels to hide all...
I just got it installed a couple days ago and haven't been able to fully dive in. I can view camera and recordings via camera wifi and iPhone hotspot while in the car. Haven't figured out how to view while away from vehicle. More learning to be done.
While this dealership may be trustworthy, never give your PIN to the dealer until you're sitting in the car and ready to actually buy it. A dealer could use your pin for the sale of any other purchase to any other customer and pocket the savings, rendering your PIN useless.
In FordPass app, under Vehicle, turn on SecuriAlert. You phone will get notifications anytime any door is opened.
Also, another good reason to get a dashcam (THINKWARE U1000) which has a motion detector and starts recording when a person or other vehicle get close.
Our MME is a little over a week old. Due to holidays and weather, we haven't driven much. Just plugged in for the very first time - took it to 80% for free. I assumed that session would display in the app under Account>Charge History (even tho it was free). But it didn't/hasn't. Regardless...
Smash and grabs are a problem in Oakland. Even cars with nothing visible as they assume an SUV has valuables in the back. We plan on using frunk quite a bit.
Perhaps the reset method needs to be repeated? I haven't noticed this, but will see how ours functions next time I get in it.
From the Owner's Manual:
One-Touch Open
Fully press the window control switch and release it. Press again or lift it to stop the window...
Just got ours Sunday and I've noticed this...I, too, wish it could/would stay on. I prefer recycled air because I'm in a port/warehouse/urban environment with a lot of heavy truck exhaust. Our Benz will time out, but only after many, many minutes. And I can tell - the light goes out. In the...
If your MME is at or near the dealer, ask your salesperson to run your VIN against this recall. Not all vehicles built in this window are affected, it seems. I spoke to my rep a couple hours ago and our VIN is not on the recall list. There may be others that get cleared for delivery.
