[StillWaitingForMachE]

This inspirational moment brought to you by Ford

Ford needs to follow their own inspirational poster. They are not meeting the challenge, or capturing the opportunity of creating a repeat Ford buyer in me.

Just wondering if anyone else is having one hell of a time getting wireless CarPlay to connect. Maddening.

I had a bad sequence of events where PaaK didn't work correctly, then Android Auto didn't want to work, but did work when I connected it to USB and then starting working wirelessly.

After I reset everything and got PaaK set up without a hitch, everything else worked as it should have. I believe having 2 or 3 phones in the car at the time of initial setup was a bad idea.

Very helpful. Both my wife and I deleted PaaK completely and don’t anticipate reconnecting it again. We’ll see if any of this functionality starts working properly. The car also randomly defaults to my wife’s seating position even when she’s not around and I have my key fob.

It likes her more.

Yes. I left my garage in total frustration one night with this issue. After a late night revelation- In the morning I removed the car from the phone app, removed the phone from the car and reinstalled both. It’s worked fine since. Good luck.

Yesterday was two weeks of having our MME, and we have been awash in emails from Ford about the car.
Why wasn't Ford this blabby when I was sweating through the ordering, producing, and shipping parts?

Great! Congratulations.


I got the call from dealership yesterday. Unfortunately, I was out of town. I am going to pick mine at 6 pm. Hopefully things will go fine.

Yes. Unfortunately as far as I can tell, you are the winner here. Beyond comical at this point, especially given your location.

Congrats, Happy for you. Enjoy your ride.
when are you changing your name "StillWaitingForMachE" ?

Interested in seeing if your driving experience will completely negate the long wait you endured.

The website just updated!! Unfortunately, it wasn’t good news. It is now 8/4-8/10. Someone could’ve pushed the car to the dealership by this point.
