I received the OTA updates that enabled Blue Cruise for me last week. I had a chance to drive from the NorCal Bay Area Peninsula to Lake Tahoe and back this week, traveling mostly on the 101 and 80 through Sacramento. My experience with Blue Cruise was generally good.
Here are some...
I just received this email, with instructions to change the OTA update times. Anyone else go through this and have Bluecruise installed this way? I'm looking forward to getting it rolling.
I just received the 2.4.1 update. It completely broke CarPlay. I even tried to delete this truck on the phone and reinstall it. Nothing. I use this all the time. Bluetooth doesn’t work either. They both worked fine before the update. Any ideas how to fix this?
Hey, I'm thinking of upgrading shocks on my 2021 PowerBoost 4WD. Very little off-road driving. Just highway and snow. Stock ride height, Yokohama G015 Geolandars. Either the 4600 or 5100, which I know is for 0-2.5" lift, but looks so much better. I'd greatly appreciate any commentary from...
I received an OTA update last night and now have turn-by-turn indicators on the instrument cluster when using Apple Maps on CarPlay. It's pretty cool. It makes the speedo and tach smaller (similar to what I think Blue Cruise does) and it has the turn-by-turn indicator in the center of the screen...
I'm going to jet the stock Pirelli ATRs on my Powerboost Lariat to get something better for the snow. Although I live in NorCal, where it doesn't snow, I'll be going up to Tahoe 5-10x per year, and it can be extreme there. I'm deciding between BFG K02s and Cooper AT3 4s. I realize they're...
I am changing out my OEM Pirelli Scorpion ATR 275-60/20 RWL with 7.3k miles for tires with better snow capabilities, as I'll be in Tahoe a lot of the winter. These are great tires in perfect condition, worn evenly, no curb rubs or anything. They ride very well but just won't be that great in...
I hadn't driven my truck for a week. When I started it up today, the list of Sirius presets along the bottom were populated by stations I never listen to (and actively dislike). Strangely, when I went into Browse > Rock stations, my saved preset stations were still highlighted, each with a star...
I’m really looking for thoughts from people who drive their 4x4 F-150s in snow on all seasons.
My Lariat (4x4) came equipped with the Scorpion ATRs, which I think are all season and not M&S. I live in NorCal and don’t need anything more extreme for my daily driving, as it doesn’t snow here. It...
We know Apple upgraded its music service so many albums are Hi-res/lossless, encoded at 24-bit and either a 96kHz or 192 kHz sample rate. Apple isn't completely transparent about what systems can actually play hi-res/lossless, but, from what I've read, wireless CarPlay uses WiFi for the link...
Ahead of Apple upgrading its music service to hi-res in June, I'm trying to figure out the best way to play hi-res 24/192 through my iPhone into the truck. I was going to use iPhone > Apogee Lightning cable > Apogee One DAC > 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable > aux in/truck. But I can't find a 3.5mm aux into...

A am a bit of an audiophile and trialed Tidal last month, to take advantage of my B&O Unleashed system (which I like). To me, Tidal sounded a bit better than Apple Music, but I acknowledge it may be a...
I have a 2021 Lariat with the 12” screen and Sync 4. On the left side, smaller display, I can scroll up and down using the arrows. But the “tile” view no longer works and the icon is grayed out. I tried it while parked and while driving. Anyone I’ve any idea what’s going on and how to fix it?
I went into Vehicle Settings > Remote Start and set Climate to Last and Heated Seats to Auto. But when I remote start the truck the climate control doesn’t show it’s on and set, and it doesn’t seem to be blowing.
My questions are:
- How do I set the car so I can remote start it and get the...
I wanted a bike rack for my new PowerBoost F-150 that would carry two or three bikes solidly in the bed, work with the installed tracks of my LoMax tonneau cover, and could be installed and uninstalled easily. I couldn't find anything that met those requirements so I made this simple one out of...
