  1. Disabling F-150 Lightning's Beeps, Dings, Chimes, Honks, Bings, Bongs, and Dongs

    I’ve removed my ignition and key in chime sounds, but at startup and shitdown, I still have a single beep. Believe that beep was always there. It sounds like a computer processor beep…does anyone else have this? Any way to remove it?
  2. OTA Software Update - 10.1.0 - It's karaoke time

    I have been in a drought since 10/18 and while Karaoke is a ridiculous feature, it’ll be good to see it come through even if it only means I’m ready for the next OTA.
  3. Connected with CarScanner...now what?

    Thanks everyone. Here is my first dashboard attempt using the ideas here.
  4. Connected with CarScanner...now what?

    I bought the Veapeak BLE+ OBDII device and connected with the car scanner app. I was primarily interested in monitoring my 12v SOC and my HVB SOH. I did that and.... now what? Is there really much value in monitoring CarScanner metrics continuously? I'm a data geek but am likely overwhelmed by...
  5. What’s your exit plan for the truck?

    No clear exit plan. The range and charging speed is perfectly fine for my use cases that I don't foresee changing, so I'm not too worried about better battery tech coming out. While I could imagine an industry to replace batteries in cars after market, I'm assuming the frame wouldn't be in a...
  6. Frunk envy

    Maybe. My instinct would be to bring a chair and sit on that in the bed. Separately, the scout looks cool though not sure how different it is from the Rivians. Though i don’t see how lightning owners would have frunk envy.
  7. Lightning as a battery backup split loads

    thanks. Is there an option to use non-enphase batteries in this setup? Or is everything tied up in their own proprietary eco systems?
  8. Lightning as a battery backup split loads

    I have enphase solar but not the ford charger. Currently my solar shuts off when the power goes out. I haven’t pursued it but was envisioning adding a small battery that serves as a sort of hub. It would be charged from the solar and power the house in the event of an outage. Additionally, the...
  9. FordPass 5.7.0 for iOS & Android released

    The app is borderline unusable still but slowly improving. Seems like one time charge doesn’t work and changing target charge and departure times works maybe 33% of the time. However as long as it remotely starts, locks/unlocks, and opens the trunk I’m good
  10. Rear-ended, $13K in repairs!

    I’ve been debating keeping a large trailer hitch on at all times just for this reason. Will certainly bang my knee more than once but…
  11. Leaves in the radiator? Why is it designed like this?

    I used BBQ tongs and then bought this on Amazon. https://a.co/d/1O4XhIp
  12. ECG-24.2.5.6.2 Technical Adj of Send/Rcv Software [24.2.5.6.2.2]

    My updates are on fire since 10/7 when I got 6.3, 6.5, 6.8 every other day and this past week received 6.14, the driver alertness one, and this one (6.2 not .2.2) this morning. seems like ford figured something out. Only visible change is the SOC on the dash but presumably some good back end...
  13. OTA Software Update - 10.1.0 - It's karaoke time

    I just got 6.5 on Tuesday. not sure why ford doesn’t just roll out one update at a time and hit everyone in a month. The overhead to maintain multiple continuous and simultaneous rollouts must be insane
  14. 2023 Lightning Lariat ER

    Best bet is to buy lightly used. Many out there are from people that towed or didn’t plan ahead for charging logistics. Their depreciation loss is your gain.
  15. Remote Start on used Lightning not working

    Are there specific instructions for pulling the 12v? Do I just unclip the negative?
  16. Remote Start on used Lightning not working

    I purchased a new to me 2023 Lariat a few weeks ago and have a very inconsistent Ford App experience. I'm coming from a MachE where I never really had functionality issues as described below. 1. My phone is connected as a PAAK and it automatically unlocks when I approach and usually works to...
  17. Confused about CSP 24B56 - front sensor error

    No, I'm not the original owner. The CSP isn't showing up in the App or online. My recall list says No Recalls, No CSPs The letter to dealers does say they should repair it for any owner with this issue. Not sure about the requirement to reproduce, but I'm assuming they can test the sensor...
  18. Would a Lightning address my issues with the MachE? and other newbie questions

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I found a deal I was happy with on a 2023 Lariat ER with about 8K miles, spray in liner, and tonneau. I was able to get 33K for the MachE so the net depreciation hit wasn't too painful. Most importantly, the Lightning is awesome and definitely was the right...
  19. Confused about CSP 24B56 - front sensor error

    I recently purchased a 23 Lariat and have seen this error message sporadically (3 times total). Additionally, my camera does not automatically come on when I'm parking. It sounds like this CSP is my issue, but I haven't received a letter nor can I see it in my Ford.com vehicle dashboard. With...
  20. Would a Lightning address my issues with the MachE? and other newbie questions

    it’s possible, at least for my wife. I do use OPD, but keep it in whisper mode with passengers. I find the actual brake pedal is pretty sensitive so I think whisper is smoothest if I feather the “gas” while braking. From what I can tell, the backseat is an unbearable ride regardless.
