Agree with you Rick. As far as the Ponies go, the V2's are much better and have been working great for the past year. The bigger issue is that Ford has changed the wiring for the headlamp systems and rear taillights between '23 and '24 model years so the connector/harnesses for the earlier years don't work on the newer ones. Not to mention in the earlier years Ford had two different headlamps for the Mach-E and that required different connectors. Kind of a mess but things are being straightened out now with connectors that will work with both style headlamps and the various years.
I cannot fathom why the video instructions say to disconnect the front camera! I've now installed front ponies twice and disconnecting the camera never crossed my mind.
Jeff, with the new connectors, you will have your choice to either have them lit with the. headlights or on all the time. ?
Is that a matter of moving a wire in the connector? I am happy with them coming on with the headlights but now you have me curious!
Hey Jannick, nice to see those ponies all lit up!Hi guys from Denmark here, I Installed the front pony from BSKT Design yesterday and made a installation video, there is no issues in the connector, the pony looks amazing and is always on, there is people in the UK that has installed it too and the same no issues, seems this connector issue is just to USA Mach-E’s, however i got good news as im in close dialogue with Bskt design they are producing a new connector that fits in all Usa Mach-e´s coming very soon. Stay tuned ?
No Jeff, it is the matter of adding more wires to the connector/harness. I personally think the pony should only light up with headlamps because during the day you don't notice them lit up unless it is a cloudy. Why have them powered up when you can't really see them? The new connector/harness will have the option to have it either way.
I also agree with having the front pony light up only when the headlights are on vs. any time the car is on/active. However, I'm curious about the upgraded harnesses. When you say they will have the option either way, will there be a switch on the harness to toggle between the two modes? Will it be an external switch you can access once the pony is installed and all the frunk paneling has been replaced? Just curious because this would be a completely novel feature for these ponies.
No switch. There will be two different wires you can connect the pony to. One is for lit when headlights are on, the other lit anytime the car is on. So you will not be able to change this once the frunk panels are back on.
Gotcha, that's kinda what I suspected - one-and-done once everything in the frunk was put back. Guess people are gonna have a decision to make. Thanks again Mark.
Unless someone decides to add a pigtail that extends into the frunk allowing them to switch back and forth…but no one on this forum would do that. ?
Certainly no one I can think of..... ?
