The XML file is in the SyncMyRide folder, not in the root.

I have a 68 Barracuda. And here is my latest project. A Factory Five Racing Speedstar.

I down loaded the zip file and extracted it to a USB memory stick. I have never had much luck up loading the XML file with the five Ford's I have had with Sync. I had updated to 22200 before Ford rolled it out via Cyanlabs. There is no XML file created this way but the Sync database still...

I updated today, took about 15 to 20 minutes. I was even able to upload the XML file. Maybe it's wishful thinking but the fonts on the nav screen seem crisper. Other than that I didn't notice anything else.

I tried the auto hi-beams for a couple of weeks and found them to be very annoying. Constantly up and down. I took care of my frustration by turning them off in settings. I have the same feeling about rain sensing wipers and they are turned off too. Even my wife found both frustrating in her...

Since the Ranger has plastic bed protectors on the rails the drop in bed liner is going to tuck up under the rails. Virtually all tonneau covers available these days clamp to the bed rails so there will not be any interference from the bed liner.

I was in Tractor Supply the other day and I always stop at the tables near the entrance with the clearance and sale stuff. They had a 10 piece socket set. It was just 10mm sockets. Six point, 12 point, 1/4 drive, 3/8 drive, shallow and deep. If they had looked like quality sockets I would have...

FWIW, everything I have been able to read is that AGM batteries require a slightly higher charge voltage than flooded lead acid batteries, 14.1 to 14.5 is what I most often see compared to 13.8 to 14.1 for flooded lead acid. The reason is an 12 volt AGM battery has a slightly higher nominal full...

The T2 had the aluminum pan too. I had upgraded mine to full ball bearing in the steering linkage, carbon reinforced suspension arms and Teflon coated shock absorber shafts.

Below is a description of the BMS (IBS in Jeep speak) from a Jeep workshop manual. Thing I noticed with my wife's Jeep with the BMS connected is the charge voltage stays at a constant 14.5 volts unlike the Ranger BMS system that reduces the charge voltage down into the 13 volt range and...

I used to race off road trucks. I still have an Associated RC10 T2 and the first truck my wife gave me as a Christmas present probably 25 years ago, it's a Tamiya Stadium Blitzer. It was fun to learn to drive with but was severely outclassed by the Associated and Lossi stuff of the time. It was...

Not sure if any manufacturer provides an amp gauge these days. I know in the case of my Barracuda and other Chrysler products of the time the shunt for the amp gauge was part of the gauge so the output of the alternator has to be routed from the alternator through the bulkhead connector to the...

Went back and looked at my paperwork. The window sticker was $47,770 but it didn't have a bed liner. Had Bullet Liner added making the price $48,320. The invoice price was $45,757, the deal I got was $1000 below invoice or $44,757 and there was a rebate at the time of $500 so my final price was...

My wife has a 21 Jeep Cherokee that has auto start/stop, it also has all the electronic goodies that my Lariat has plus a heated steering wheel and a panoramic sunroof. The battery is an AGM and there is a sensor (looks just like the one on the Ranger) on the negative terminal of the battery. I...

FWIW, my 21 Ranger Lariat Tremor had a MSRP about $1500 more and I paid just under $43K new for it last year.

I disconnected my BMS sensor yesterday to see what happened. It stayed at a constant 14.4 volts, never varied.

As others have said you connect your phone to the M1 via Bluetooth and that acts as a control path. The actual data from Android Auto on your phone travels via WiFi to the M1. It then travels via USB from the M1 to your Sync system. If you look at the specs for your Motorola M1 you will see it...

FWIW, the actual data going from your phone to the M1 is via WiFi, Bluetooth does not have enough band width to support AA. Not sure why the Bluetooth pairing is necessary but the Carlin wireless CarPlay adapter for my wife's iphone in her Jeep works exactly the same way.

FWIW, I have a 21 Lariat that I have put just shy of 22k miles on since I got it in August 21. My first mod was a Auto Start/Stop Eliminator and have not used ASS since. The truck seldom sits for more than a day and the most it has sat is 5 days. I have not had any issues with the battery. With...

That is true but E10 87, 89 or 93 octane uses less of other octane increasing compounds so you do not get any additional benefit of the ethanol. I live in Massachusetts and we have not had anything but E10 since the 90s. I probably have closer to 3/4 of a million miles using E10 with no issues...
