I remember this. Driving stick for most of my formative years, I always put the shifter in gear and used the parking break. After going to automatic, I thought the "park" was just that...a parking break, never used the manual one on a level spot because I'm stubborn. If there was ever any slope...

We use to call this down-shifting. Every car I ever did this in (whether on purpose or whoops) never seemed to like it!

Sorry, can't help you there. There is some part of the OS that passes that information on to the truck through the phone list. I know I figured it out on mine several years ago and on the few occasions my wife drives our truck (or connects her phone) the picture doesn't appear for her account...

If you're on Android, this used to be a real obscure setting to display your profile picture. With modern versions of the OS, I think this is more front and center in the phone settings but ymmv.

But does the frunk work?? I got a Lightning model toy for my son that first Christmas we owned the truck, and it's a cool diecast model (even comes with a toy "charger") but I was disappointed to find out the frunk didn't open :(

This is a really salient point. There was a recent pilot like this done in Maryland I read about with a guy that was using the Lightning so I assume their HIS as well. If we don't have reliable automatic transfers, the great potential for helping the grid goes away. Incidentally, my system has...

I have on my to-do list to check out the "ankle weight" options on the forums here to dissuade Sparky from thinking I'm not driving safely or distracted. What I've found driving long stretches w/o BlueCruise available is to keep a slight downward pressure on the right side of the wheel which...

Another here in the camp of sudden intermittent issues. Android app updated on Tuesday, sudden PaaK issues all week since then (no pattern I can discern, it just suddenly works way less than it use to which is usually in the 90th percentile). Plan to carry my fob for the foreseeable future until...

I've actually changed my tune on EVs lately. Other than family, friends, etc. that I will extol the great value of electric cars to, I don't want them to be mainstream. Takes all of our fun and advantage away from owning them! ?

This is really interesting and a possible out to get these systems reliable for us? I really hope Ford would be smart enough to repair the current systems with more reliable line communication instead of Bluetooth...

At this point I prefer an EV for more of the convenience and the drive; gas engines just can't compare anymore.

I am pretty much exclusively PaaK, for over a year without major problems (you can't get stranded with the backup code). Since this forum has started Yet Another PaaK Thread, the last two weeks has been absolutely stupid using PaaK exclusively. Four times I've been forced to use the backup code...

I bitched to my wife about this yesterday. The feds will take away any incentives for EVs (because free market, right?) but then DIS-incentive us with massive fees/taxes? Wait...what??

The craziest thing is the gas tax hasn't been adjusted for inflation since 1993. So if this federal fee (or any current state fees) for EVs only is in some way supposed to recoup that cost then it is way overpriced...

Heh, so not a day later after writing my post stating PaaK is fine despite its road bumps, yesterday it gave me more trouble than I've ever had in over a year's worth of usage (and two different Android devices). :facepalm: We were in the midst of a short weekend travel in the MD/DC area when...

I consider the PaaK to be a digital copy of my key fob. Issues I have are mostly walk-up-to-truck recognition problems (but I am lazy and keep my phone in my pocket and whoknowslasttimeIopenedFordpass). If Sparky doesn't start right away with just my phone in hand, I brute force and repeatedly...

Welcome to the club! I saw your truck earlier today (a White Lightning Lariat). Enjoy the vehicle, it's the best one I've ever owned!

Love the nerds here Regarding "changing" these sounds, wouldn't there be some kind of failsafe built in to prevent that? I only bring it up since it is federal law (as someone else already pointed out) to have minimum sound levels on hybrid & electric vehicles. Not that it is a simple feat to...

Cool beans. I used it multiple times today on my one "commute" day of the week. The auto-lane change works as advertised although I want to stress test it a little more (see if Sparky will realize he can't go into an occupied lane, properly supervised of course). I have tested how the adaptive...

Similar update sequence for me, although I think the front sensors were done as a CSP last year? Either way, BC 1.4 is here for Sparky (https://tenor.com/btV2h.gif). Are we putting experiences down here? Is there another thread for that?
