The Complete DIY Guide to Updating Your Mach-E with FDRS (Alternative to Forscan)

[Mike G]

I did a slew of updates a couple of weeks ago to get caught up and now my departure times no longer report to me remotely that the cabin temp has been reached and the car is ready to roll. I have deleted all departure times and set new ones to no avail. Anyone else seen this behavior? Any suggestions on a fix, or is this new behavior enacted by the updates?

Wasn't there some comments made about the recent FP update 4.27 causing some disturbance in the force?

FP is always up to some shenanigans. This is from yesterday:

It actually did finish charging at around 2115.

Departure times have been not syncing correctly for some people for several months now with no fix in sight from Ford. Mine can only be edited in the car. Any changes made in the app do not apply in the car, and get overwritten by the car within a few hours.

It seems it works for people, until something changes and then its broken. Potentially an update that is breaking it, but not sure which one, or if it is a server side issue.

Yeah, they somehow broke the space/time continuum and now think that charging will complete before it started. I assume we'll see a 4.27.1 sometime soon to fix that.

Thanks for the heads up. Glad (or not) that it's not just me. ;O(

It doesn't say WHICH Monday it would finish charging.

I have all the HVAC updates (now on version -AM). Compared with last Summer and this WInter, it appears to me the HVAC upgrades are worth it... just had two mid-length trips, yesterday to Richmond VA and today to North of Baltimore MD. The car now seems to "eat" less energy while the A/C is running while keeping itself and me, comfortable. No hard numbers, but a decent butt dyno reading while checking the "trip kw use" drawer display throughout both trips.

They must have heard me. FP 4.27.1 is now available.

They mentioned you in the notes.

They mentioned you in the notes.

I would hope so.

So...the new FP 4.27.1

Got home from a drive around town yesterday doing errands and plugged in.

Checked for an update to the charging status about two hour afters getting home and got this:

What's missing is the banner toward the bottom that says it's plugged in and charging with an estimated finish time. The truck was charging at the time this screengrab was done (I checked).

So not only did they "fix" the estimated completion time....it's gone completely!

That's one way to solve a problem. Just make it go away altogether.

Did you check on the "Vehicle" page? They took it off the "Home" page after the last update (4.27).

We’re you able to pull up charging details.

I didn't check there. I just saw the banner was missing at the bottom and thought they'd removed the whole thing. Why would they make it so you'd have to take the extra step of selecting the vehicle specific tab just to see what the charging status is?

Nope and it doesn't say anywhere that the truck is still plugged in like it used to. That banner used to stay there even after it was charged back up, until you disconnected. And it says I have no previous charge logs to view. So there's that...

Cause it removed 3 lines of code and made the app run "faster".
