No EV routing in Google maps

[Jfennell55]

Did you tell Google Maps on your phone that you have an EV? I don’t know if it’s necessary, but try going into your Maps settings and set it so it knows which electric vehicle you have.

Yep

24s need this update, until then nothing you can do or enable on your phone to make it work. Its still in early access though, so hopefully it goes out to everyone else soon.

My 2025 Flash does not have Android Auto EV planning eather. I have updated everything I can and talked to Ford with no success.

Spent the day yesterday talking with Ford again about AA EV route planning. Bottom line, I won't bore with all the holds and bum steers, is that at the end of the day I was promised a push of the update that enabled EV routing in AA so I made sure automatic updates was enabled. It didn't happen. I called again this morning and was told that Ford cannot push updates and I should see my dealer.

Everyone I talked to was super polite and I hope I was as well but AA is so superior to the Ford route planning that I find myself switching back and forth which is awkward at best and dangerous at worst. From what I've seen the truck can do it but Ford can't.... yet.

Ford's updates are hit and miss at best. It may be hey did Mark you to push the update, but that might take time to get to the right people. FWIW, I always seem to get updates on Thursday afternoon. Why? Ask Ford. for that matter I think Ford quietly pushes updates without notifications at times, but can't prove it.

As for the dealer, they should have the equipment to push the update. So you probably need to be leaning on them hard to get you that update. Not saying, stop nagging Ford, just that the.dealer has a vested interest in keeping you happy, and they have some ability as well

Yeah, I have an appointment to get the recall done, Friday the 13th. I'll go by and add this prior to that. I don't want to burn the bridge but I'm not hopeful, we'll see.

I dropped my truck off at the dealer before I left for vacation to get ball joint recall done and talked to them about the apim update just called them they said it's getting updated now should be good to go will see when I get back tomorrow.

My dealer did the APIM update for me this week while I was in for the ball joint recall. I’ve finally got karaoke lol

Well I think the dealer bricked my truck doing the apim update it's been there since last Wednesday they said they don't know what's wrong. They can't get the update to finish. But they told me they were putting a new 12-volt battery in it I think somebody did the update without putting the battery maintainer on it now they're saying they're going to have to call Ford engineering tomorrow. Great

Sorry to hear that. So many lazy techs that think they know more than they do and/or don't want to learn anything new.

No don’t do that. They spent a ton of customer good will and who knows how much in $.$$ for him to learn that lesson. He’s not likely going to make that mistake again.

Every APIM update I've done was over USB with the truck running so wouldn't think it'd be a 12v issue. Still a good idea to have a good power source but shouldn't have broken anything with that one.

Give him a glowing discharge recommendation to go work for GM, sick of coddling incompetence

@Mal106 Any update?

I am taking my '24 Lightning (which I bought 2 weeks ago) into the dealer today about EV routing not working with google maps, and no Karaoke with print out copy of https://www.ford.com/support/how-to...ceiving-the-stingray-karaoke-software-update/ saying that I need Software version 10.1.0 and a copy of https://www.ford.com/support/how-to...se-android-auto-ev-routing-for-ford-vehicles/ and a print out of my software updates saying that I have 10.1.1 which meets the requirements. .

If my new vehicle is advertised to have the features and meets the requirements then it should have those features or else something is wrong with my truck and it needs to be fixed under warranty for free. Hopefully they can perform the update quickly

Edit: I asked them to perform the TSB 25-2105 update.
