Honestly, at this point I think ford should push Siemens for an OTA for the charge station pro. If we were allowed to use the on board USB with Ethernet, I suspect all would work.

I had mine do something similar on Friday. However, I unlocked the truck on Thursday and fitted a new dog cover for the rear seats, and had the doors open for a while. I never turned the truck on. I wonder if there's a bug where the truck doesn't go back to sleep...

Thanks, That's what I *thought* the order was - but the previously quoted post made me question my sanity ;) \

You use a 2024 AsBuilt on the IPC before applying the software update? So it's 2024 AsBuilt >> IPC upgrade >> Restore 2024 AsBuilt >> your own tweaks?

Yup. Debug UART gives you output from the A8 chip - which is *post* boot. You get the usual linux boot messages scrolling by, then a login prompt. But again, without login, nada.

Interesting. If your app doesn't say there's an update, there probably isn't. However, were you plugged in? Most EVs will keep the 12V battery topped up if it gets low and it's plugged in. Do you have the script to share for that automation (if willing?) I've often wondered if there's a way to...

Did some more digging. TLDR: I don't think we can interrupt the boot process to try and circumvent the stock login requirement. I was able to get the MCU UART spitting out something, but all I see is the ******* Self Test Library Init BOOTLOADER ******* Start-up CPU Test OK Start-up FLASH...

To confirm, because I know if I have questions, others do too. Hoping someone here can confirm in plain language like not so smart. 1) If you have a '23 with IPC mods from previous tweaks you a) complete the upgrade with the '24 IPC and then you must b) apply an as-built for your...

Depending on where you are, I would TOTALLY leave it - or at least replace it with another unit. As home ownership becomes something of a laughable goal for anyone under the age of 40 in much of the world, having a charging station might get you renters with EVs.

Honestly, there are better products now in the field. Patrick and Liv (don't think they're on this forum) from The Electric Duo did a video just before their trip to Munich in which they did V2G with their MME. Pretty sure that would work with the Lightning too. And this system is DC...

I mean, the Bluetooth is probably on-chip on the A8. BUT, I did break out my serial adapter, and we have some bad news. Like so many before me, I can't get into the thing to diagnose. So, here's the boot log: [ 0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0 [ 0.000000] Linux version...

Time to dig this threat out of the cobwebs, in time for Halloween! Had to do a 'brain transplant' today with our FCSP, as the one on the side of the house stopped connecting to wifi or advertising its Wifi. I had a spare, so I swapped out the board and put the previous working unit (now...

I don't - but I really do like those tires. Currently have a different set on They are a LOT louder, but pretty good so far - awaiting the first snow of the season to test them out properly!

Yup. My F150 Lightning does both our well pumps with no problems. However, it's via our Home Integration System. Our main well pump is a traditional old-school pump that's low volume, and therefore pretty low power. Our reservoir-to-house pump is a soft-start three-phase unit.

If going for the lock that is keyed to your existing key, make sure you always carry it. We had a press F150 Lightning recently and it got a flat on location. It made me realize I don’t always carry my keys with me locally because PAAK….. Now I carry the blade ;)

Just published v.0.3.0 of this - and I've made some changes to the Power Cut sensor. I've got it arranged in my dashboard as two cards, but obviously within HA, the world's your oyster. After our FCSP died and a new replacement unit was sent out, I realized that the earlier software for...

I just had my (counts) Fourth FCSP arrive yesterday. They all seem to give up in the summer. Mine overheated, and Ford remote diagnosed it. A new one has been sent and arrived yesterday, but I wish Ford would work with Siemens to address the issue.

For all those frustrated about channels that buy EVs, drive them for a short while, then sell them, there is a YT channel out there that doesn’t do that. A channel thats been covering the industry for (checks) 15 years. Just saying ;) Oh, and also, for that channel, the vehicles aren’t write...

We just tweaked the app a little more to squish some bugs - and also add Power Cut detection. Yes, I know it sounds weird, but if you have a UPS system for a computer or something, this will help you figure out when a power cut occurs, so you can then activate graceful shutdowns if the HIS...

I've been working on tidying the code, and think I've squished one particularly pernicious bug. I've also made a video explaining it in more detail:
