I posted a couple of evening shots earlier in the thread, but here is a daytime.

Sweet. That is one cool ride. Love those light seats too (sadly the dealer messed up my order and I didn't catch it in time to change from the dark interior which is fine. At least I can get a vehicle !

Really helpful - am just a bit to the NE of PA from you - but mine didn't go on the train out of MO until Nov 2nd.

My biggest concern with the light color seats is staining with jeans, etc, they look awesome, but might need to get covers which kinda defeats the purpose.

Next curiosity, there is something called mobile app in the settings, however there appears to be no way to enable this. Just curious if any one has any insight, trying to figure out a way to get the MyQ (chamberlin garage door opener) app to be accecisble via voice commands on the phone so i'm not limited to the homelink button.
Also anyone know what the small black strip behind the steering wheel does?

Mobile App - For phone installed Apps. Only one I found out to work is Webex.

The black strip is the infrared eye tracking for bluecruise.

How did you enable the toggle switch, I tried disabling carplay, and connecting the phone, it wont enable the toggle, its always greyed out, did you use the command mobile apps to get the listing as per the info button?

I honestly have no clue. Did you connect pair your phone via bluetooth as well? I had this set up many months ago on my existing mach-e. Haven't picked up the 2nd on yet.

So my version of Sync will not allow both Car Play and Bluetooth Audio / Phone, my phone is listed with a drop down, and I can select one or the other. With either selection, the mobile apps toggle stays grayed out. I am thinking im not on the latest version of Sync yet, as I dont even see how to have 2 phones sync'd at the same time, as metioned in one of the updates, I do have Ford Streaming and Alexa however, which I would love to get rid off.

I was so excited to get a VINView update text just now, thinking it would mean my car had finally moved. But no. ?

I have not explored invoking MyQ via my phone, but I do invoke it via Alexa, so I could set Alexa as the assistant on my phone I suppose but have no need. I used IFTTT. If this is totally not the question you were asking.....ignore me.

 

[manikin]

I think it's under general, but what is your sync version?

So now that IFTTT is also pay, this is really not any different than paying MyQ for Google Assistant subscription. I think the easiest solution is replacing the bulbs, or switching the light off, alternatively I have started the using the MyQ app to close the door. Its annoying to have to use workarounds since this works seemlessly in my wife's car.
