LMAO - “the cheap beeps” - that is so accurate but funny

Now I feel left out- don't get any cheap beeps ... ?

I’ve had it pop three mornings in a row recently. After I did some longer trips (30 miles or so) it went away again and I haven’t seen it since.

How reliable are those 12v battery state of charge indicators that you can plug into a cigarette lighter socket? Was considering trying one.

I've got one and it seems quite good. Shows 14 ish volts with system on, 12 off. My dealer says that sounds about right. Bought mine right from the start when our US friends were reporting issues.

I was going to put a link for the one I got but it has gone up from £16.95 to £34.99. Even I wouldn't pay that for one.

Just a heads up for any iPhone users….

iOS 15.1 appears to break wireless CarPlay. Just working on any solutions / workarounds but I’d say stick to 15.0.1 for now.

[EDIT: It was just me - 15.1 is fine!]

Ive got 15.1 on my iPhone 12 Pro and it worked fine with my Mach-E this morning wireless,

Hi,
It's working fine for me and had a Ford OTA update last night to 1.6

Oh that’s a relief that it’s still working for some of you. Must just be something wonky on my 13 Pro Max. Basically it thinks the wireless CarPlay is a data network as well and so it connects to the car fine, but I get no maps or music.

Worked fine on 15.0.1 - just borked itself on 15.1 update.

[EDIT: Got it working again. Deleted the phone from the car, and deleted the car from the phone. Set it up again from scratch and it was fine.]

Should've got an Andriod.

Yes that's the fella! I normally do one longer trip a week every Sunday - a 20 mile round trip (wow!!!). Sunday before last I stayed at home because I had one of these bouts of man flu going round, and then this popped up on the Monday morning, plus a couple of other mornings when I haven't used the car since lunchtime the previous day.
My concern really is whether there is an issue with the 12v battery, or whether it's simply a way the car protects that battery. At least I'm not alone!

Yeah I have had that message too!

It's been a while coming, but EURO NCAP finally released their crash safety report on the Mach-E today....

Good to see it got a 5 Star rating

Full report here

Well I suppose if you're comparing it to one of these monsters..... ?

I wonder if the results are different for those cars with the panoramic glass roof? The cars on the video all had metal roofs.
