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...

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...

Maybe a collective amount of feedback may help them to fix their testing methodology related to electric vehicles. This is not an attempt to claim that the F150 meets its EPA target. However, their methodology is inherently flawed, which makes the F150 look pretty bad. The article is here...

How much space is between the cabin floor and anything underneath it? Like the battery. If I have new subwoofers installed, how do Instruct the installers about safe installation?

It’s weird as I thought there is no CarPlay support in GM EVs. But I am traveling and they gave me the Silverado EV to rent. I was prepared to do without. But plugged in for power and CarPlay popped up. Beyond that……it’s a powerful car with a a less bouncy ride. That’s where the positives...

I keep my ‘24 Lariat pretty up to date and there haven’t been many available FDRS updates in recent months. I did a bunch today and I have completed them all, except for IPMA (because I need to wait until I have time this afternoon). anyone know what this new IPMA update brings, or how long it...

I should start by saying that when I travel, I have been renting either a lightning or a mache -e, and using an electron adapter to charge a Tesla. Today, I happened to be traveling a little bit further from my house, to Bothell, Washington. I decided to test my A2Z and Ford manufactured...

Hi, My dealer replaced the blower motor last week. Since there were updates for the mach-e and no rain today I updated the mach-e. I decided to just check the lightning. I have not seen the three errors shown in the pic. Any advice? Note I did not run any updates today, and just ran the...

I am wondering whether any of the tools we have access to will show us the cabin temp, which presumably would influence the hvac system. then of course, the question is whether one can program in an offset or calibration. Thanks.

Hi. I am working with my dealer to try and resolve the issue with my 24 lightning’s heat. If I precondition the car it’s warm but after about 15 minutes cools off. I’m unable to maintain a reasonable constant temperature for any length of time. It often feels like cold air is blowing. Sometimes...

I have a Mach-E and a ‘24 lightning at home. I prefer to rent EV‘s when I travel, about once a month. This is the second time that I have rented a lightning during a trip. Although each time it has only been a standard range, I have had no issues. In Texas, I used Tesla superchargers. in...

Hi. I’ve noticed now that it’s getting cold, the heat in my 2024 lariat is not great. I am often cold. I have to really blast the heat to get the cabin to feel warm, and then when I put it back on auto, it gets cold again. I am in the Pacific Northwest, and so by cold I only mean 40 to 45°...

I am asking because I am having the darndest time feeling like my after-market DSP based audio system stays tuned. It feels like it fluctuates. I have almost the identical system in my Mach-e and it is perfection. I am going to head into FORScan, but thought I would ask here. Thanks!!

I am a little confused about how to ensure I select the correct extended service plan. I have seen “ FORD PROTECT PREMIUMCARE PLUS EV” for 10yr/100k at a cost of over $5k I have also seen Ford Protect Premium Care (minus the PLUS EV) from Granger for substantially less. I would like help...

I didn’t drive my F150 here, but rented an F150 in the Fort Worth area. I know Lightnings and other EVs are not as popular but I have seen a few and have taken part in “mutual WHAT-UPs” ? I brought my adapter and so I got to use the super charger. No issues and it hit a max of 170kw (although...

On the Mach-E forum, I asked vendors about a “keep the adapter cool” solution, like a mini umbrella. No takers. I started searching, and as a photographer hobbyist, I bought an adjustable hot-shoe flash reflector. See here: https://a.co/d/fuLGUih It serves its purpose of keeping the adapter...

I had Line-x premium installed, and now the UG Metal tonneau cover by Pace Edwards. I know a lot of people go with Retrax. My reason for choosing PE? (1)Flush install. (2) No lock on the outside for someone to mess with. (3) drain tubes at the front and back (helpful when parking on...

When I use my Thule bike rack in the hitch, the system asks if I have a trailer attached. It disables cross traffic…and sometimes blind spot? What are the ideal smart hitch and tow settings (and trailer sticker?) when using hitch mounted accessories (not a trailer)? Also. Is it possible to...

Hi. The dealer is about to install the line X spray-in liner for my 24 lightning. My initial thoughts have been that this is a great option to seal up all those little cracks and help keep the bed more dry. However, now I am wondering whether there are drain holes in a truck bed and whether...

I have the issue of no audio and the volume control permanently at zero. I just ran FDRS and the following issues come up (see photo). Any recommendations on how I should proceed?
