I had bed caps on my 1989, 1990 and 1998 Rangers. The only thing is that the back window becomes opaque with salt and road grime in the winter. I see that you live in Louisiana, so that is probably not a problem unless you drive on wet dirt roads. I wished that someone made a rear wiper for the...

Ford Authority reports that Cactus Gray is going away in 2025. I thought that it was a popular color! Ford Authority Article about Cactus Gray Greg H. P.S. I checked the "Build and Price" for the 2025 Ranger and sure enough the Cactus Gray is not there.

I recently updated Sync3 and even the new Samsung phone running Android 14. Software developers have a habit of breaking things in the process of new updates. I don't think that they thoroughly test their code. It seems that the AA commands are not passed through to the vehicle. I guess that I...

I tried what you suggested. I found the Ford icon and it did indeed go to the normal vehicle Sync3 screen. Unfortunately, the microphone or steering wheel speech button worked as it did before, using the AA voice. The Ford icon on the AA screen behaved just like pressing the little "House"...

Thanks, I'll give this a try...

On Tom's Hardware I found this article: Does Android Auto take control of your car? which is part of a larger article called Android Auto FAQ. The interesting part is that they state: (quoting) "No. As with the current version of Apple's CarPlay, you cannot use the Android Auto app to control...

I guess that I will have to do this method. I have tried it in the past, but I thought that the voice method was faster/easier. Greg

Um, no. I tried this, and when Google maps is running, it tries to navigate to some restaurant in New York called "75 degrees". When I switch to the Android Auto home screen, it says that it "doesn't understand". As I said, when AA is not running it responded to "Set Temperature to 70 degrees"...

I have AA working quite well between the Moto dongle and the new Samsung Android phone I just got. It works very reliably now. I find the "+ and -" temperature HVAC buttons somewhat hard to read during the day. This is unique to my Ranger, my 2018 Fusion is easy to see, maybe the angle of the...

Active Alerts are "Temporarily Unavailable", but the other functions are OK. Last night the tire pressures were dashes (--), but they are showing now.

I just got a new Samsung S24 FE and the location map now shows on Ford Pass. I had to get a new phone for my wireless Android Auto to work, the old Moto was stuck on Android 10 and the wireless dongle requires Andoid 11. I wanted another Samsung similar to the wife's phone since the AA Wireless...

Hers is a Galaxy S23FE, Model SM-S711U, for what it is worth.

Just adding "Watch this thread".

OK, I did this and indeed it had the 3.4.22251 version and would not update via OTA. I did the USB stick procedure and updated the vehicle to 3.4.23188. Still no joy. I uninstalled and reinstalled Ford Pass and it didn't help. What happens is that I see the small location icon show up at the...

Updated the Forscan tool and obtained another 2 month "extended license". I use the OBD Link adapter which works well. I changed the "Panic Button" to require two presses on the key fob. I have been accidently triggering it in my pocket somehow. I hope that the two-press mode stops this from...

BTW, the hot melt glue gun was 80W. This is a resistive load and just over 50% of the outlet rating.

The owners manual states that you should not use an extension cord on the 110V AC Power Point. WARNING: Do not keep electrical devices plugged in the power point whenever the device is not in use. Do not use any extension cord with the 110 volt AC power point, since it will defeat the safety...

My CEL (prior to the new sender being installed) was on from Full down to just under 3/4 tank. At the next ignition cycle after being below 3/4, CEL would go out.

The only issue is that the "Check Engine light" comes on (MIL). The gas gauge is so heavily filtered that there is no noticeable effect. See my comments with the video of the fuel signals using Engineering Mode earlier in the thread. Other than the annoyance of the MIL coming on, there is the...

That would be the logical place for it if Ford added it.
