I can't believe they haven't fixed some of these things. Its pretty annoying.

1 ) Fordpass. I want to set my departure time and CHECK the box to have my car turn on WITHOUT being plugged in. Comon, The ford app doesn't do a lot. This should work by now. When I click it, it says ford pass isn't responding. I've seen others post about it. I have a iPhone 12 pro. Its not a unique phone or big ask to have work. I contacted fordpass and they called me a few times about it but after a while they gave up and stopped trying.

2 ) When I make a call, and I'm listening to Spotify sometimes when you hang up the call doesn't let go. It won't allow Spotify to play and keeps reverting to the radio. The only way to fix it is turn the car off and back on. I've tried repairing the device, turning on and off apple play... Nothing works.

3 ) I have my center dash set to dark mode. Once a week it wants to revert back to white. I have no idea why. It drives me crazy. I know this ones stupid but the software lags already booting up. I don't want to have to sit there for another few min just to change it back to dark mode.

4) Apple play once again. If you get out of the screen, sometimes when you go back into it will just show a play button with a loading screen. Doesn't matter how long you wait it just sits there. The ONLY way to fix it, is you have to go to phones, then click the apply play from this screen. The apple play icon on the main program screen will NOT work.

5) Iphone ringing volume. When I'm listening to music say at a level of 20, and my phone rings it blasts. So It won't allow you to turn down the volume of just the ringer without it effecting the music. This has worked in every car I've been in. Even before apple play. I always have to catch the phone before it rings and wakes up my kids.

It own, and work for a software company. These are issues that could be resolved very easy. They always come out with these other revisions I read that are irrelevant to the majority of people, and they say they fix bugs without even listing it. I can't be the only person with these issues that don't seem to ever get fixed. I've been hoping for just 1 to fix.

Hopefully ford is looking!

I can’t speak to this particular error, but I have major problems overall with FordPass communicating with my Mach E. I can send basic lock/unlock/lift gate commands, and FordPass reliably tells me every time my car locks upon walk away (pretty useless but funny that this works). Meanwhile, FordPass doesn’t tell me when my car is plugged in and doesn’t give me any active charging data. I can’t push ANY changes to the charging schedule from the app to the car.

Can’t speak to that issue specifically, but Apple CarPlay does occasionally break down for me when using Pandora.

Yup. Happens about once a week. More specifically, the screen setting reverts from Dark to Auto.

Yes. I have similar problems with CarPlay dropping connectivity.

So It won't allow you to turn down the volume of just the ringer without it effecting the music. This has worked in every car I've been in. Even before apple play.

Amen. It’s now been over four months since Jim Farley promised substantive OTA updates “soon.” The two updates released thus far have contained no enhancements, and no discernible bug fixes.

I have the same happen to me on occasion. I thinks it’s because it changes the profile. I have the door button #1 set to my profile settings and whenever it goes to the white mode I just hit button #1. Works every time.

There was someone who had this issue and they were able to resolve it... I forget what they did, but it was posted within like the last two weeks I believe.

50% of the time, when I hang up my Android phone it does not hang up. After a few minutes of hitting hang up button on wheel and screen. It hangs up, but then I have to reconnect my phone as it totally disconnects it. This is the one thing that is frustrating me right now. Does not seem like it happens to many others so I am going to take my phone in and have it checked.

1 ) Fordpass. I want to set my departure time and CHECK the box to have my car turn on WITHOUT being plugged in.

A. Checking the box on my app appeared successful.

2 ) When I make a call, and I'm listening to Spotify sometimes when you hang up the call doesn't let go.

A. When I hang up from a call it always brings the audio back.

3 ) I have my center dash set to dark mode.

A. My screen does that every time I remote start. When I get in the car, I press the start button and then press the preset on my door panel and it resets to my profile. Remote start must start in a general profile. Maybe your car is doing something similar?

4) Apple play once again. If you get out of the screen, sometimes when you go back into it will just show a play button with a loading screen.

A. CarPlay functions perfectly for me as far as I can tell. Not sure what might be causing your issue or how to resolve it. :(

5) Iphone ringing volume. When I'm listening to music say at a level of 20, and my phone rings it blasts.

A. Yes, appears much louder than my native ring. I just figured that was because my wife has her volume full blast on her phone? (I use Android and she uses Apple....)
See above for answers....

Yeah seems like issues are different for everyone. My screen goes white regardless if I remote start or not. It just happens every 3 weeks probably. Randomly.
The iphone blasting is by far the worst issue I have. Having a baby and a toddler, it will wake them up if my phone rings. Its that loud.

The other issues all still happen other then the departure time issue. They fixed that one.
