So I had some real thin nylon string laying around and I said let me go try this and I actually did it on my driver side, not the passenger side, I’m not sure if the passenger side operates different from the driver side, but man that thing open very easy I hardly had to pull on that string I believe only pulled one time. I had the keys far enough away and you could hear it starting to beep a little bit inside the car and then about 10 seconds later the horn started going off.

Before or after they get the next batch of NACS adapters out?

Before or after they acknowledge the error?

Before or after they expand the HVBJB TSBs to include 2023 MY?

Before or after the sun expands and engulfs the Earth?

I just wish this thread would be seen (and publicized) by some national car news outlets. I think that would pressure Ford into fixing this issue sooner. I’d love to see Farley try to talk his way out of this mess.
True, you post a picture of your car and @Ford Motor Company replies, post a real need a nothing?!?

I was thinking more along the lines of what a great news story this would make for Car & Driver, Jalopnik, Motor Trend, etc.

Then Farley could revise his explanation to shareholders on why Ford is losing money.

This is a very creative idea. My 23.5 has only done updates at the preset time, 1AM and while in my garage. Is there any reason you couldn’t leave a window down if expecting an update?
Like myself, not having a garage no option really for that. But the fact that you have a garage, I mean they’re not gonna hotwire your car unless there’s something in the car and they can get through your garage on a break-in you leave your windows open all the time if you lock your garage. I know my neighbor has a Corvette and he leaves the top down in his garage 24 seven so I’m just saying.

Mach-Lee definitely MacGyver’d this work around! Lee deserves a lot of credit for coming up with this emergency door opening idea. Go figure, a low tech temporary fix for a high tech problem. Thank you Lee.

not that far off from #4 so the first three would be irrelevant. ;)

Maybe I’m the first one but Amazon sales just went up for black nylon twine?

It’s too damn hot outside right now to get out there and just mess around unnecessarily, but I was trying to run a string inside out the back and have it kind of hidden somewhere back there, but the door option showed is actually the easiest way to go. It works.

Based on how *I think* the OTAs work, there could be an OTA being delivered in pieces/parts but not fully executed - essentially staged, so there could be some module/sub-module that is being prepped and it's going sideways.

I say this because I still get random screens for parking assistance that look much different than the "normal" screen. It's like pieces of new software are there, and something accidentally calls it very specific circumstances.

Complete speculation on my part.
