  1. 2019 software update

    That's true of everything. And "doing it wrong is subjective". I think Ford is "doing it wrong" when they don't create a proper zip image causing more issues. Honestly, if they created a standard zip that was, you know, unzipable in all the normal means like it's been for 30+ years it would...
  2. 2019 software update

    Not sure I stressed about it at all but I will say that the latest update that I applied back in December fixed my "Ranger Daylight Time" problem so it was a win for me. Assuming you do the unzip right (using Ford's definition of right) then the USB process is simple and easy. Not all of us...
  3. 2019 software update

    Except windows only. Doesn't help for us mac users.
  4. 2019 software update

    I also have an XL with STX (no FX2 though) so I have the small screen and did the update via USB. Don't know where you are looking where you see that error. I don't see any errors in my Fordpass app. Well just the pre collision ones when it's super cold outside and before the Windshield thaws.
  5. 2019 software update

    As I mentioned, be careful with "unzip the zip file" as if you don't use the right tool it won't unzip correctly and you won't have the files named correctly or in the right directory. Maybe Windows does it right since it likes backslashes. But, since I've dealt with zip files for well over 30...
  6. 2019 software update

    Took mine to the local dealer when I needed to get the heater box replaced due to the warping issue back in December. As luck would have it, the night before Fordpass told me I had a Sync update. I asked the dealer to do that too. When I picked it up he said "well, we tried to update it but...
  7. Maximizing Battery Life

    I disconnected my battery for the just under 4 hours to do the NOCO repair mode process. The first time, the only thing I had to do was retrain the drivers window one touch. The second time, I had to do that and set the clock back 2 hours. I do think my basic sync has some notion of network...
  8. Maximizing Battery Life

    And for me, after running the "Repair Mode" again over the weekend is that my voltages are down to 14.3/14.4 at startup, it goes down to 14.2-14.0 somewhat shortly after. Then, when the temps go up, I'm even seeing 13.9 and even down to 13.7. Auto stop/start seems to be back to normal and...
  9. What did I do wrong?

    Am I the only one screaming at the screen to get one of these: This is one of my absolute favorite options on the truck.
  10. Digital Fuel gauge reading wrong

    I don't have a digital gauge I have the standard gauge and this has happened to me twice. The first time I figured it was that it just clicked of early but it was indeed full and it did take a while for the gauge to finally report full. The last time was me taking a 150 mile trip, fueling up...
  11. Maximizing Battery Life

    That's good to know. I had mine at 95 for a week and then I read something here about the regenerative charging and dropped it to 90. I'm very tempted to put it back to 95.
  12. Maximizing Battery Life

    The hotrodder in me sympathizes wit those of you who've done this since it removes a lot of excess complexity. If I hated auto stop/start I would have done the same thing. Now I'm on a mission to figure out the best %. Who knows, one day could end up saying "screw it" and doing the same.
  13. Maximizing Battery Life

    I charged it with the NOCO first so it was fully charged. And, Repair Mode was indeed flashing the whole time and then went into Standby just like last time. So I'm reasonably sure it was indeed in repair mode. Oh, and, like last time, I disconnected the battery. This time, the radio...
  14. Maximizing Battery Life

    Doing an other NOCO Genius 5 "Repair Mode" today. I mentioned the voltage fluctuation in my last experience but this time it's not doing that. It started out in the 12.5 range and just slowly ticket up over the hours. It hit 13+ after about an hour and it hit 14 after 2.5 hours. Last check...
  15. Flip out key, no key detected

    Reviving this. I saw this last weekend once after I was looking at some forscan settings. The key fob unlocked and locked just fine but turning it gave me "no key detected". I got out of the truck, locked it and then unlocked it and it started fine. Today, in the drive thru carwash I...
  16. Maximizing Battery Life

    OK, so in theory your battery is in much better shape than mine. :-). I've noticed that despite running Repair Mode last weekend and having SOC set to 90% my auto stop/start isn't as consistent as it was before. It worked great on Sunday right after the Repair Mode and it worked again on...
  17. Maximizing Battery Life

    How old is your battery? How long had you had BMS deactivated? I wonder if the close to 4 years of SOC at 75% and me only recently trying to save my battery has it in poor enough shape that it doesn't have a lot of spare capacity. Still, the resistance is mid 3s, CCA is above 760 most mornings.
  18. Maximizing Battery Life

    Yea, I was hoping that there was some way it could possibly tell and that it would leverage that. It seems to me that higher levels of resistance would be a good indicator. I haven't come to that conclusion after reading all of this and other threads again. I don't think we know for sure...
  19. Maximizing Battery Life

    Thanks for finding that. I had some back and forth with NOCO support and I asked them about voltages and if the device can senes sulfation and I was told "I can't comment on our desulfation process" and "the device will always run the same repair process that takes close to 4 hours and it...
  20. Maximizing Battery Life

    Now a few days since defulfating with the NOCO Genius 5. Monday, voltages were back up to 14.5-14.6 in the morning but down to 14.0-14.2 in the afternoon. Auto stop/start stopped working. CCA back up above 760 in my morning tests. Tuesday morning was again back up to 14.5-14.6 and on the...
