Bought new and did not see anything in the paperwork about this. It taps power of the OBD wires. Even if they buried it, they would have to disclose it. Law school taught me to read closely but it’s always possible they buried it in the fine mini fine print. It’s coming out as I get home...

I was doing some scouting around the car while I prepare for an audio upgrade project. I discovered this with a power wire tapped into the back of the ODB interface. Does anyone recognize it? Is this one of those sleazy slimy trackers that dealers install on the car and don’t tell you about...

Thank you for this. I just printed it out, and it is very helpful.

Super helpful. Let me study this. I am pretty sure I don’t have an all overdraw issue but I am open to better option than car scanner to measure.

Not sure if this reading right. This is what I see. One with the car off. The other with car on and my music playing at my listening levels. if the issue is the battery will die on 2 years instead of 3, I am all with that. I am just having a hard time figuring out how to monitor.

Super helpful. I am assuming I can use car scanner to monitor? This is is a hat is shows when playing music the way I listen to it.

Max power rms for all three components is 1900 (have no expectations to hit this). I am not interested in SPL so actual should be around 1100

Ok RLL and BMW, could you help me reconcile your two recommendations?

Thanks. I thought the issue wasn’t the aluminum you would attach to but the limited interface between that and the chassis. I thought the issue was also that the current ground wire was not big enough to support the current from two 4awg? I really appreciate the ongoing help (and pictures if...

I need to have a better ground for a higher end audio system being installed in the truck. My understanding is that the ground points in the truck cabin back wall should not be used because the cabin is aluminum. Yet Ford grounds there. Doesn’t that mean they run a ground elsewhere...

Also it seemed like it was a good bit of work and also required recalibration of the sensors

I just had my driver’s side one replaced under warranty. They will push to confirm it is not due to the mirror being hit. Good, but sad to know it’s not me !!

I am in the northwest and travel frequently to rural Texas and California. my experience is the opposite. At home, I am seeing many more, especially F150s being used as company work trucks. while traveling, I see more. It’s not my imagination as it’s a bit of a contest between my daughter...

Just another day at the weekend warrior office!

Been using this with my MyQ garage door opener withHomeKit/carplay for years: https://ismartgate.com/

So is the deal that some cars have a hw problem, or that the have a set problem they need to fix? I guess my question is whether there is a sync sw problem that they need to work out, or that ford is permanently ending software updates.

I have a Wallbox charger set at 40 amp. Regardless of car. It gets 9.1 from the grid. The car receives 8.6-8.7.

I spoke with Don at SGS yesterday, and I am really really impressed so far. The fact that they focus on F-Series and have a number of turn key solutions is really cool. I ordered the custom A-Pillars. If anyone here has used them for Audio and would be willing to share their experiences...

Funny that this thread appeared. The sunroof glass of my lightning is the first car I ever had where the sun is pinpoint brutal. Just yesterday I scheduled myself to have a UV tint put on the sunroof, and the front side windows (although I don’t need a darker tint - I just want less intense...

I have had it up to my eyeballs with local “high-end” audio installers and their excuses, complaints, and overcharging. I have an aftermarket Audio system that should be great but isn’t due to the shop install. The core physical install is solid however. I want to enhance the system by...
