    Phone mount for Android (pixel 7 pro) ?

    I have not been happy proclips phone holder :( It only supports the phone from sides and there is nothing at the bottom to hold the phone, So the the two small screws are doing the job of keeping it the perfect width to let the phone slide in and to keep it secure... Regularly they loosen up and...

    Phone mount for Android (pixel 7 pro) ?

    Hi, Lot of the phone mounts I see mentioned here are for iPhone (magsafe, etc), but I'm looking for one for Android. Best option I see is: proclips base mount + one of their phone mounts (either magnetic ones or not) - I assume Qi/wireless ones aren't that great since they need 12v port and...

    How can I tell if ACC is on?

    Got it...to clarify, I'm driving very carefully and slow down in advance if I don't see the car itself slowing down and mostly just trying to understand the features (and how and when they disengage) so appreciate the help. But I've def seen car slow down and stop at red lights by itself when...

    How can I tell if ACC is on?

    With all the settings on, sometimes I notice that car doesn't slow down when the car in front is stopped/slow, so somehow it's only activating normal cruise control and not the adaptive part of it. I'll need to check what buttons I have pressed next time (I have all settings enabled in the sync...

    Dashcams, parking mode (disabling in garage?) and battery drain

    So it's hard for me to connect to the dash cam Wi-Fi from the car when the car is on because Android Auto is aggressive and takes over the Wi-Fi connection. The only way I found is to disable Android auto temporarily but enabling it is a little bit of a pain cuz you have to go to settings and...

    Wow .. ford mobile app (android) doesn't notify when charging fails ?

    Thanks! I'll keep an eye on the charger light next time. However, in this case I contacted them and they said for some reason my car is not sending updates back to their system and that could have caused it . They had me try a few things on the car itself and that didn't help so they have...

    Wow .. ford mobile app (android) doesn't notify when charging fails ?

    I'm somewhat shocked that ford mobile app doesn't push a notification if charging fails - charging is one of the most unique things about electric cars and they didn't think to push a notification for that (i really hope they are prioritizing it ) ? For more context, I got Grizzl-E wall...

    Temporary override preferred charge settings?

    So I have my charge settings set up to charge at night when the electricity is cheaper. But if I really need the car to be charged during the day once I'm surprised there's no quick 'override it for this time' button in the app and I have to change the settings to not use preferred times (and...

    PSA: Unauthorized API use can disable your FordPass account

    So as a user, is there any way I can get status of the 12v battery ? I don't see it in the Ford app . And I assume even if I make a call to their API to get that, it will be considered against TOS (in case someone can write a script that users can run periodically on their own)?

    Dashcams, parking mode (disabling in garage?) and battery drain

    Awesome thanks! Btw, the other thread makes it seem like Android widget is also causing access to get blocked but there's some confusion in it and maybe the widget is okay (since it uses the app and not the API?). Did you look into it?

    Oh interesting! Do you have a link to which one you got or recommended capacity? The battery pack that cams sells are $200+

    Dashcams, parking mode (disabling in garage?) and battery drain

    Approximately how long will the camera (front+rear) run in parking mode if I shut it off at 12.4V ? I know it depends on various factors, but will I get at least 2-3 hours in average case ?

    Dashcams, parking mode (disabling in garage?) and battery drain

    wait - i'm confused. Are you saying the 12v battery is getting recharged by the electric battery even when parked - i didn't think that's the case ! Or is it that when you start driving, it gets charged back up very quickly (vs having to drive for a long time ?)

    Dashcams, parking mode (disabling in garage?) and battery drain

    Hi folks, I read some posts about dashcams and have some questions as I'm researching. I'd like to get a front + rear dashcam. I actually bough 'dongar' but now I'm thinking I might as well pay a little extra and get it hardwired so I can have parking mode. I was initially thinking of viofo 129...

    My Personal Favorite, Memory Foam Lumbar Support

    Thanks for the quick reply. By the way, I love the trash bag you have but unfortunately I'll have to return it since I keep kids organizers in the back of the seat. I really wish it was clampable around the center console (photo attached).. Maybe something to consider..
