Hi WD,It looks like your SYNC and iOS version should support CarPlay with EV routing - I’ll have to look into that a bit more for you.
I used it this morning … as you can see from the CarPlay screenshots from the Mach-E the battery integration all works.
Thanks very much for being so helpful!
Forgive my delayed reply.
Strange news is that after recent driving, my Welcome Lights including visible Puddle Lights, actually activate when approaching the my locked MME, now, even after 3days. (Puddle lights only visible at night with locked car & mirrors folded of course)
Further though, I can categorically confirm that my Apple Maps does not provide any battery integration information through Apple CarPlay on my 2021 Build1 MME AWD EXD. I did get the Turn by Turn only. After you message I did some trip planning in Apple Maps in the MME to lovely Norwich from
Lincolnshire and only Miles & Routing appear. (some pics below)
I did get 2.3 & 2.6 Power-Up updates in April, but never got any messages to set up EV routing in CarPlay nor on my IPhone IOS 16.2. I saw these posted in an earlier post of your about Apple Maps and adding your vehicles to Apple Maps.
Ikenna at FP Community still says there is no EV Data for Apple Maps in UK, something you proved without doubt is not true. Clearly as per usual they are clueless and not getting information from Ford Technical Dept. The UKBEV & FP Team also have admitted that they cannot get much actual technical support information from Ford to support MME owners, and now say you need to talk to your Dealer! Quite a sad state of affairs really for how FORD handling their flagship EV owners. Ford Motors Ltd now averages 1
with Trust Pilot from customers. It’s a good thing there is a community base out in this forum who can ask questions, help, and support support each other.You mentioned that OTA’s in UK and EU are not that far behind USA. But looking over the ton features added there so far, it seems a long way off, especially after 4.1.3 which provides the gull new updated display, with volume knob controlled HVAC settings. They also have the reconfigured increased usable kWh from 2022 now applied backdated to earlier MME. In my case it’d be 91kWh from 88kWH. Also you will see that for some time they have bluetooth connectivity for (2) devices, which is very handy when not travelling alone. I had this going back to a 2015 X5. Allowing
another device to play music while primary phone stays connected for calls & carplay. So many new features we sure could use. Ford Support claims updates are delayed because our non PAAK issues, and especially for the illusive missing FRUNK button, which they will not even reply to now.
Is there much can be done by FDRS & FORSCAN?
Thanks WD!
