  1. SYNC 4 incessantly nagging “CarPlay is available…”

    This was the culprit. The USB/Lightning cable has intermittent connection issues. I wiggled the wire near the Lightning connector and the charging indicator flashed between “charging” and not charging and every time it started charging the banner appeared. My bad! I’m sorry I was so abrasive.
  2. SYNC 4 incessantly nagging “CarPlay is available…”

    Yeah... I've considered just disabling CarPlay. But I like getting into the truck to go to an appointment and the destination is offered in the CarPlay map because it's in my calendar. I don't have to fiddle with Navigation to enter the destination. Now that you mention your usage, I think the...
  3. SYNC 4 incessantly nagging “CarPlay is available…”

    We’ve had our Lightning a year and a half. My wife and I both have Apple iPhones. We’re usually both in the truck. Both phones have been connected to SYNC. Usually I’m driving, and my phone is connected and CarPlay is enabled. Every couple of minutes there’s a banner message on SYNC saying...
  4. First year owner has battery question for winter

    Hi TaxmanHog, Thank you for clarifying. Hi Ford Motor Company, If I regularly commuted then making a schedule of departure times would be “value added”; but, I don’t regularly depart any day or any time. It’s a lot of FordPass app tedium to “schedule” to depart 30 minutes from “now” to go out...
  5. First year owner has battery question for winter

    Do I understand that starting (Fordpass app “fan” icon button) while plugged-in to the charger will only prepare cabin temperature but will not precondition the battery?
  6. Thought on our frigid 1,300 mile trip

    I’ve used ABRP. There are some things about it that bother my use cases. 1. There seems to be no way to totally start over with the actual, current location. Sometimes mid-trip, I just want to start-over from my present location. But ABRP is attached to my location the first time I planned that...
  7. DIY - bed bike stand

    I’m thinking about a DIY loading dock at my house. ;-)
  8. OTA Software Update 10.1.1 - Enhanced Connectivity and Power Management

    For the life of me I cannot find any way to update my account/profile/settings on f150lightningforum.com to include “model year”.
  9. Newish 24 lightning owner travel charging experience

    I have 2023 F150 Lightning XLT. I haven’t figured out how to get Apple Maps to show anything related to EV when I have Car Play turned on. The various websites with “instructions” and “how-to walkthrough” seem to be out of date wrt Apple iOS and Lighting updated UI.
  10. Chevrolet dealers know; Ford dealers are clueless

    [Refactoringdr said “… timely…] Yeah, when we were sitting at the 7.5 kW and looked at Ford Nav the broken fast DC charger at Meijer was no longer on the map. I was waiting for the NACS adapter Jim Farley promised us. Ford EV Navigation often wants to route me to Tesla. So far none of Tesla...
  11. Chevrolet dealers know; Ford dealers are clueless

    I’m sorry…. This day was a bad Ford EV Navigation Day from Marquette, MI to Canton, MI and I was venting a little. Chargers are sparse in northern Michigan. The route included a 36-mile side trip to Escanaba, MI for charging. The fast chargers were out of service. Riverside Chevrolet had an...
  12. Chevrolet dealers know; Ford dealers are clueless

    That’s my F-150 on the far right charging at the Chevy dealership in Escanaba MI. The Ford dealership a mile down the road is charger-less and clueless.
