Hehe so we imported a couple of these cars, they are so much fun to drive!
Anyhow 2 separate issues I was curious if anyone might be able to come up with possible solutions, if there are any.
The first being the charge plug for our rapid charge stations does not fit any in Iceland, assuming that is because the North American one and EU ones are not standardized (when will the world just standardize everything from the start) Could anyone think of a solution to this, possibly finding someone to engineer a cap to put on top of the plus that would fit in the EU rapid charge stations. We contacted Ford US and the EU, they have not been entirely helpful.
The 2nd issue is getting the My Ford App to work, I had to install the App on the Android phone by downloading the apk and installing that way, since there is a region restriction on the google play store for the app. But after installing, adding the vehicle with the VIN, I get to the screen where I have to get in to the car and look for I'm assuming something to pop up on the display to continue to the next step. Nothing happens, I tried connecting with a USB from the phone, turning the car on and off again a few times. Removing the Car from the My Vehicles screen on the APP.
I read somewhere people were taking fuses out and putting them back in, all kinds of stuff, but I'm worried that this might be a geo restriction issue firstly, BUT I have the app installed and it seems like the car should at least connect with the APP on the phone.
If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful.
Cheers,
Thor.
