I've come across a strange issue with my Pixel 7 where if the phone is connected to the car for PAAK, it will not connect to a BTLE OBD II dongle. I've tested this with two dongles (OBDLink CX & vLinker MC+), and a Pixel 6 which worked fine on Android 12, and has the same issue with Android 13...
I forgot to remove PAAK from my wife's phone when she upgraded, so now we have a ghost PAAK entry in the list. The app indicates that you can call Ford, and they can remove individual entries, but when I called they said "nope, can't do that". So I tried a PAAK reset in the car. Multiple times...
With winter fast approaching, I am reminded how blazing the heated seats are in my Mach-E. Even on the lowest setting they are scorching bits that aren't meant to get that hot... Is this just a me problem?
We also have an EV6, and it's really nice that the car will lock the J-1772 port while it's charging. Would love to see this on my Mach-E. Seems like it should be possible because it can lock while CCS charging, but I haven't seen a tear down to know whether it's reasonable that Ford could...
The number of minor issues has gotten to the point where I tried to get it serviced, and have 21P22 applied to the car. The problem: I can't find a dealer that is able to, and/or willing to service the car.
I was able to schedule service at one dealer, but the car sat on their lot for 1.5 days...
I wanted the MagneRide, but not the high performance summer tires, that came with my new Mach-E GT Performance. I'd love to tell you how awesome they are, but I only drove them on the way back from the dealership in Wisconsin, and to the tire shop to get them swapped for some all-seasons. So the...
Many EVs have a way to set the charge rate on the car. There are a few reasons why this is desirable, but for me the main one is that it makes it easier to use different plug/EVSE/cable combos without needing to jump through hoops.
For e.g., I am planning to buy a 40A portable EVSE to replace...
I have been experiencing abnormal battery drain on my Android phone (S21 Ultra) since installing FordPass. I have long suspected that FordPass was the problem, but it didn't show up in the usage graphs as causing issues, so it took me longer to isolate that it was the problem, and determine how...
Serious question. Not intending be negative, just curious. Those with FDRS can see a significant backlog of updates for cars, so clearly there are updates that we can benefit from. Why is it taking so long to get these pushed out? Would be awesome if someone from Ford could provide some...
Other than using an ODBII device + mobile device, is there a way to see what the charging speed is on the Mach-E? Planning to do some traveling in the next few weeks, and according to PlugShare several of the L2 locations with J1772 and Tesla Destination chargers offer higher Tesla charging kW...
