I mean, carplay apps are just the regular apps with support for carplay added, right? If you think of this as an extension of the existing ford app rather than a new app developed specifically for carplay, this makes sense. Hopefully there will be new features added that are specifically...

That shouldn't require forscan, it's just a setting in the infotainment system. According to the owner's manual, press Vehicle> Lighting > toggle Welcome Lighting on

It looks like the kit I received, if purchased from redtiger’s site, is $309. https://redtigercam.com/products/redtiger-f17elite-4k-3-channel-full-night-color-wifi6-dash-cam I haven’t shopped other cameras, so I really can’t offer an opinion of value

Note: I received this camera for free in exchange for writing this review. The opinions below are entirely my own. My @Redtiger F17 Elite dashcam arrived just before Christmas, which gave me time to install it on Christmas Eve so we could use it during our Christmas Day travels. Inside the...

I bought the RealTruck Truxedo TruXport (GEN 2) Soft Roll-Up Tonneau Cover, via the Realtruck rep here on the forums. Having never had a tonneau cover before, I have limited experience with others to evaluate mine. I do know that my friend's cover always looks taut, while mine seems like...

A pharmacy robot is dramatically different from anything resembling AI. They are relatively simple systems. There are large bins that staff fills with pills. The 'robot' just counts pills from those bins, puts them into a bottle, and applies the label to the bottle. The bottle then drops out...

Even better, there could just be a physical button you press to toggle the seat heater on and off.

I understand the potential benefits of giving the AI access to data from the vehicle. What doesn't make sense is making it a separate voice assistant that I have to go into the ford app to use. It would make more sense to expose it to Siri / Google / ChatGPT's existing services already on the...

Woohoo! I was more interested in the tailgate mat than bed mat since I slide stuff in and out of the bed a lot, but on further consideration maybe the bed mat would be nice other than when hauling stuff to markets in the summer. And I’ll just buy the tailgate mat to go with it. Yay all around

(Checks Calendar... Nope, Not April Yet) This seems like a terrible idea. Who asked for a Ford specific AI built into the app? Is ANYONE actually going to think 'I should ask my Ford app about that!'? They might ask questions like this of Google, or ChatGPT, but nobody is really so linked...

I believe the global windows setting is already available on the '25s without the need for a forscan change. At least, it was on mine.

Whoa, that's a thing? I must have missed that one in the big forscan thread. The eye monitor alerts on me all the time when I'm perfectly focused on the road, at least if I can adjust the timing maybe it would go off less frequently.

We bought our first EV, a Bolt, in January of last year. Then added the lightning in June. According to the Emporia charger, we used 7046 kWh during 2025 to feed the EVs. And, according to emporia, the total cost for that charging was about $708. 8 months out of the year we pay about...

Wow, I didn't realize that the tailgate mat was something I needed until I saw it listed here. I have noticed in just 6 months of truck ownership that the tailgate trim seems to catch stuff sliding in and out and the little trim fasteners pop out. From what I see in the pictures, it looks like...

I don’t know enough to help figure this out, but I’d be willing to donate to help if you need to buy an extra module to work on or components for a custom module. Just share the knowledge when you’ve solved this so the rest of us can follow your lead.
