    Confused GPS since 3.6.2

    Hello all, I have noticed recently that the navigation is frequently off by a block or two (upwards of 1/8 mi or so) recently. I do not know if this issue is related to my recent upgrade to 3.6.2, but this problem has only shown up after the upgrade -- noticed it a few days later. Has anyone...

    SYNC update is available!

    This is a part of the PCM update. I know this because I have the PCM update, but the dealer is having problems getting the main update done, so I am driving around with only one of the updates.

    SYNC update is available!

    My update included a PCM update. In fact, that is the only update they completed on my car. Strike two for Downtown Ford. They told me they have a call in with the "Ford Hotline" and that the updater would "not take my VIN". It all seems kinda questionable :( Hopefully the third time is a...

    SYNC update is available!

    Apparently what goes into the update varies by VIN. My local dealer, Downtown Ford, actually failed to install it on their first attempt (sad, eh?). They are going to try again tomorrow.

    A whole new bug

    While cycling the power did not solve the problem, driving in reverse did solve the issue. So I guess that is good. Sure hope 3.5.1 fixes this stuff (preferably soon).

    A whole new bug

    .. or at least I think so... Today on my way home from the office, the backup camera image (a still of the last moment before I put the car into drive) was shown as the background on all of the pages. The nav screen did not even paint the map (just the street name banner on the bottom). It...

    MyFord Touch update for FFE or not?

    FWIW, I have the opposite defect. On Friday nights it tries to charge when I get home (instead of midnight per the local PG&E Value Charge Profile). And it indicates that it will estimate finishing about three minutes before it starts. Needless to say I have to remember NOT to plug it in on...

    How to set the delay charging?

    I got a lightly used one from eBay. Super high quality for super cheap. Here is one available from the same guy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/J1772-40-Amp-EV-charger-/200867481624?pt=Battery_Chargers&hash=item2ec4a28818 Note that the one I linked is a 16 ft cord. Longer ones are often needed (I...

    Charging at any Ford dealership?

    Available to them? Yes. Public? No. The dealer I purchased from has their charger in the service bay.

    My Ford Mobile Updates & Connectivity

    I has this happen. Had to fully reset the MyFordTouch stuff on board (as suggested by Ford Tech Support). That also meant reconnecting the myfordmobile (which involves the 24 hour wait), my phones, etc. Not fun. I hope that i will not see the issue again. Regards, Neal

    Car turns charger on and off every so often

    It is definitely not. When it happens if I open the door the car does not say charging. Further, it happens all day long, not just during the value charge window. That said, with as buggy as the software is, anything is possible. Regards, Neal

    Car turns charger on and off every so often

    At various time while the car is plugged in and not charging it will wave up the EVSE for a minute or two, then drop the connection again. This can happen randomly when the car is either fully charged or waiting to charge. It also happens consistently if I open the door to the car. Does...

    Nissan Leaf vs Ford Focus Electric

    Jimbo, I cannot say who the range king would be. I have driven both the Leaf and the Focus. The biggest deciding factor for me was that the Focus drives like.. well.. a car. The Leaf.. not so much. It feels more like a Prius.. or some other transport that is desperately trying to be extra...

    Lease terms on FFE?

    Just picked mine up over the weekend. 2012, platinum metallic white, leather seats $2556 down (so $56 after the rebate), $208/mo (including tax, etc), 12k mi/yr, 36 mo. Seems there are still quite a few 12's to be had. Regards, Neal
