Power-Up 4.3.4 Is Out

[Hammered]

Actually, I ask again out of curiosity. Back when my father worked at Ford, they’d purchase competitive products, tear them down, and price them to the component. Many of the electronics modules of his era were “potted” to reduce the chance of long-term damage due to environmental or vibration. He would tell me that they’d occasionally get a module where they couldn’t “dissolve” the potting material with whatever magic solvent they’d use, so they’d have to very carefully attack with a dremel tool.

Feels like silicone and silicone is resistant to most things. It's also pretty soft though (though some are hard). Some companies like to try and hide things with tinted epoxy, the laser vaporizes that stuff. The laser must have an external exhaust vent though as it's truly vaporizing the material. If you're curious about how a metal tastes, just keep the vent off ? -- I wouldn't breathe a polymer / plastic / epoxy though. That thing works great for personalizing tools and whatnot. Don't really want to breathe any of it but you can hang the tongue out and get enough particles for a taste test.

So its unlikely Ford will ever retro fit then?

I have a signed document from Ford stating that it will be available at a later date. If need be I will hire a lawyer.

Good luck.

You would think that the Apple designers, of all people, would understand the ugliness of rounded corners on an application designed for square frames. Tis puzzling.

Use full screen Maps on CarPlay and there are no rounded corners.

Hard to prove that wrong when “a later date” is always in the future.

I enjoy the challenge

oof ok. yeah i have a strong preference not to use the nav haha, a man of routine some would say. maybe will need to make the exception for winter charging or something

I think of it as a large interface that does exactly one thing: contain a preconditon button.

To the person who said precondition wasn't working. Unless you are watching the battery heat indication and amps, volts requested and delivered over an obd2 app, it is hard to know if it is working or not. i see 6kw diverted to heating the battery when i put a nearby dc charger as destination, every time, so i am quite sure it is working for me.

Update keeps failing even though the car has enough charge, windows/doors are closed, not charging etc...

Are you getting this update?

Your attitude is why we can't have nice things either....

From what I recall, the statement made was very indefinite not only on timeline but also on if it would be made available. We're talking about having to have an entire module swapped, which will involve diverting resources away from current production for something that will likely have a low take rate. Unless it prevents me from getting BC 1.2 in the future, I'll probably never bother with it myself.

From what I recall

Before you go accusing someone, it would be wise to have all the facts and not just “recall” them.

This is the letter I signed.

See where is says “I/we will have the opportunity to purchase Active Park Assist 2.0 at a later date.” that is quite clear. It does not say when, but it does say it will happen.

As far as “diverting resources” goes, swapping a module in a car is not a difficult thing, dealerships do it all the time. No resources at Ford need to be diverted either, this is an existing module, they just need to make them, not redesign them.

You can think what you want about this, but I have a signed agreement with Ford and I want my car made whole.
