    Battery Charge

    It's my understanding that lithium ion batteries charged to only 80% will last longer. A friend of mine has a Tesla that he has set up to only charge to 80%, which gives him 200 mile range. He can always override the setting and get his full 250 miles if he needs it for a long trip. But with the...

    Sync 3 v3.0

    I have been trying to download Sync 3 v3.0 using my wifi connection. The process seems to start, but the download is very slow and never seems to finish. Has anyone else had luck upgrading their Sync 3 with wifi? I have tried it using the wifi at home and the office. May have to resort to USB...

    Lease a new 2018 FFE vs purchase a used 2014 FFE

    I purchased a 2017 FFE last summer for $23K from the dealership in Tracy California. With the $10K in rebates available, it cost me $13K. If I could have qualifed for the California state tax rebate of $2,500, it would have cost me $10,500. Of course you pay sales tax on the full $23K. Some of...

    Programming Replacement Key

    I would call them at Car & Truck Remotes. I think I talked to Brian, he was very helpful. He should remember the issues he had with my remote and get the right part to you. They were confused because that BT4T is listed for another Ford model car, not the FFE. Just say you want the BT4T with the...

    Programming Replacement Key

    Regarding the 2012 FFE key programming, the FFE owners manuals for all years are available online from Ford. My dealer said that I couldn't program a key myself, so don't expect them to know. I had a hard time confirming that the 2017 FFE key could be self programmed. The manual for the 2012...

    Programming Replacement Key

    They said it couldn't be done, but I was able to program a replacement intelligent access key myself without the need to pay a locksmith or dealer. I have a 2017 FFE and wanted a 3rd key in case I lost one of the others. Apparently you can't program a key yourself without 2 working keys. The...

    Value Charge Failure

    I contacted the dealership and talked to the salesman who is somewhat knowledgeable about Value Charging. He said to try deleting the Value Charging Profiles that I set up online and modify the Default Value Charging Profile to just specify the times directly using the car's Sync 3 interface. It...

    Value Charge Failure

    I did see that I could set up my own Value Charge profile where I can modify a graph to set the rates and time. Kind of a clunky interface. No way to see the actual time you set for the changes, just a rough scale with no dividing lines. I guess I could revise my home Value Charge to be user...

    Value Charge Failure

    My Default Location Value Charge profile is the same as my Home profile, so I don't think the problem has anything to do with the GPS accuracy. I have a Time Of Use rate plan, so Value Charging usually starts at 9PM. This timing is set up automatically by MyFord Mobile. You are requested to...

    Value Charge Failure

    The location has always been my home. I haven't tried to value charge anywhere else. I didn't change anything from Saturday night to Sunday night. Same location and settings. One night it worked, the next it didn't. I had value charge fail one other time. That time there was a message that there...

    Value Charge Failure

    Damania, I'm not sure what you are referring to with the charging options. I haven't seen an option for charging except Value Charge on or off. Can you describe what that charging option is? I didn't change anything from Saturday night to Monday Morning. Saturday night it Value Charged fine...

    Value Charge Failure

    I plugged in my 2017 FFE in last night at 10:24 PM. Value charge was set on. MyFord Moblie said that value charging was beginning. Lights looked like charging had commenced. This morning I discover no charge happened. No error messages in the car or MyFord Mobile. I just said that it was...
