Things you like or were surprised to find on your Bronco Sport

Wait there is a front camera - gonna love it when it arrives....

Yes, but the front camera can only be manually activated at low speeds, such as when parking.

Yep - The wife's new Subaru Outback has that and auto up/down all windows etc like the Bronco Sport. Not enough knobs in the Outback now - always poking at the screen.

I am a new Bronco Sport owner so not familiar with everything about it yet. I just found out that I can turn the radio on while the car is shut off by just hitting the radio on button and bypassing hitting the start button for auxiliary power. The downside of this is if you forget to turn off the radio before leaving the car it will still be on. I assume it would have turned off eventually but I got out of the car after turning the radio on with the radio power button and when I came back about 10 minutes later the radio was still on when I opened the door.

What features were you surprised to find out were on your Bronco Sport?

The "crumb catchers" between te consul and front seats. They catch everything that usually falls under the seats.

That every window in my Badlands is one touch up and down. Even the back ones.

I hate this…any way to adjust?

The driver's seat moving back and up on startup and shut down. I love that feature.

Can you be more specific? Are you saying you don't want global window control? To use this feature you must press the unlock button on your fob and hold it for four seconds on the second press. Have you experienced undesired global open?

In your owner's manual describing the SYNC 3 system:

I missed that. I was searching under radio.

This is a great feature that I also have on my edge and escape. It can be a bit finicky. Every once in a while the seat doesn't move forward when starting the car. All of my Ford's that have it act the same way. So I have accepted that it is just the way it is and if the seat didn't move up I just hit the memory button that I previously set.

Ok, now I understand…thanks. The feature I do not like is that the windows go all the way down with a button push…even when I want to crack them open they don’t stop…I have to take them all the way down and then work them back in the partial position.

If you press the unlock button during a global open the windows will stop. Only want them halfway down? Press unlock once, press unlock again and hold for four seconds, once windows start down release and press unlock again.

Yet to receive it - but the suede leather was a surprise - and the rotating knob of a shifter. The peppy power of the 2.0L in a test drive was really nice. I drive a 6.2L Silverado now - used to more cubes and more weight. Of course the the auto stop/start is a surprising pain on new cars now. Installed the Auto Start Eliminator today on the wife's Subaru Outback - easy install and works like a charm. BS will get it too right away.

Yeah it does have the option to stop it but you have to press the button every time you restart it which is kindof a pain. I don’t see the point of it, do you have a link to where I can buy the eliminator?

Mine did that one day and the car was pretty far in front of me but must have been going slower than me.

Same here, scared the heck out of me!

What year is your OBX? I don’t have it on my 2021. I like that, our F350 has it, do I have to program it? I’ll have to gave my husband check it out, better yet i’ll read the manual!
