  1. Discount Tire - Likely losing a customer

    All appreciated and understand already from a few other posts. The other shop had already beat $100 - I didn't quote it because it was indeed a great deal given the circumstances. Here is my response to you as the business owner and this was my thought process. Those expenses and the $40...
  2. Discount Tire - Likely losing a customer

    @Discount Tire - Looks like you don't come to or support the forum any longer, so you likely won't care, but I've not a bad taste for you today. You can work 20 + years to keep me happy, but lose me in a day. There is competition and I'm happy to support them. The story - Over the years I...
  3. System Off to Save Battery message

    Accessory mode should have nothing to do with it. What about the other 18 to 20 or sometimes 24 hours a day it sits. Shouldn't Ford be maintaining the 12v battery?
  4. System Off to Save Battery message

    Nothing Ford has done has fixed the 12 v issue. They say they continue to tweak it. I've got all of the pushed updated except BC 1.4. I've the latest for the GW and other modules to help regulate 12v. Still I didn't drive for 4 days this past week, got in the truck and once again...
  5. BLUE CRUISE 1 YEAR EXTENSION FOR FREE IS BACK! CHECK YOUR FORD APP. DID MINE THIS MORNING

    Sadly just thinking about it, the offer may only be for original owners. Or if you just truly got the truck - let the very slow Ford computers catch up on the back end that the truck has a new owner and all of your services are activated and showing up in the app. Does the BC show an...
  6. Low / Medium Cost Audio upgrade

    Crutchfield is still a pretty good place to look. They carry decent brands and at a minimum they will show you which speakers need mounting brackets and they have those. To go with those you note or any like them you'll need a bracket and likely new electrical connectors too. Those are...
  7. Just ordered the Meross MSG200HK Garage door opener system - allegedly as CarPlay integration

    Odd you mention Apple router. I just upgraded to Ubiquiti from Orbi. Apple came before that about 10 years back. I just found it in the back of a closet and it went to the wasteland in the sky.
  8. System Off to Save Battery message

    You nailed it. I find it ironic that Ford owners want to brag about no "phantom drain". Sadly all this means is that Ford isn't maintaining the 12v battery and we have nothing like Sentry mode, which I think every owner on this forum has asked about our expressed an interest in at one time...
  9. PU-DDM-24.11.5 & 25.12.0 Smoother Window Closing

    Also got this about 5:30 today. I checked many times for the BC 1.4 (I guess only '23's got that love today), talk about disappointment when this came along. This is an inhibited release and I received the Early Access questionnaire from Ford just after installing. Version 25.12.0 as...
  10. Use 360 cameras for security.

    Why? Tesla didn't need either of those things. They do it all day long on most every car. The 12 v batteries are even Liion and have been for 5 or so years. It really just takes more engineering than Ford has and a real CEO to put that kind of work into a vehicle. Remember Ford just...
  11. Use 360 cameras for security.

    Umm 3 or 4 national stories just in the last week. Tesla's getting keyed, perp found and arrested. For about 3 years now the cameras are 4K on the Tesla. I can open the app and view any sentry video captured from the car within 5 to 10 seconds. No complaints here. Tesla continues to...
  12. System Off to Save Battery message

    WTH Ford you're stressing me out. What do you want me to do? Turn it off ? Or Turn it on? Or Off? Or On? You've not leaving me many options ! Haven't driven the truck for 4 days. Anytime it sits for at least 2 days I know the systems will be totally shut down and I always get the...
  13. New BlueCruise Version 1.4 - Rollout IPMA-24.204.10.9

    Congrats to you guys - this is good news for 1.4 especially if you aren't in EAP. I haven't done the front sensor update yet. At one time it was thought that wouldn't be a prerequisite. We'll see over the next couple of days. Otherwise I need that and the TSB for stereo issues, so I'll...
  14. Low / Medium Cost Audio upgrade

    I didn't think about putting the vapor barriers back on behind mine. I added a sound dampening barrier and the plates are sealing against that, but it would have been nice to have the plastic behind there too. I've still got them, but likely won't take the doors apart to put them back in now.
  15. BLUE CRUISE 1 YEAR EXTENSION FOR FREE IS BACK! CHECK YOUR FORD APP. DID MINE THIS MORNING

    There are a couple of other threads on this. Glad some are still finding it and able to take advantage. It wasn't offered to '24's, only '22's and '23's.
  16. Low / Medium Cost Audio upgrade

    Right where your square is on the positive. As noted I grounded to the cab. Did you add a fuse? I'm no expert, but did a bit of reading and research. They recommend one very near the battery to protect not only your gear but your wiring if I recall. I screwed it right to the slanted...
  17. Low / Medium Cost Audio upgrade

    The same here. I took sand paper and sanded the paint off behind it to get good contact. I know that SGS advises agains this, but I haven't had a problem in 2+ years.
