Man, that’s exactly the kind of “looks easy until it’s not” Colorado mud that’ll humble you real quick. That cattle-churned soup is a different beast—once those tires pack up, you’re basically on slicks 😅 Sliding sideways with a cliff right there though… yeahhh that’ll make your life flash real...

😂 ‘Yeahhh, that’s the ticket!’ Meanwhile I’m out here actually sliding sideways through mud soup at 5 mph wondering if I’m about to donate my Bronco to the mountain gods. Different kinds of fun I guess 😎.

Gotcha—that makes sense. Sounds like you picked the Badlands for exactly the right reason. That kind of steep, tight, no-run-up hill in snow is a legit test for any AWD system. Appreciate the context 👍 Accidentally catfishing the forum with a Google Images Bronco is wild work 🤣 100% JK...

Thank you for this info. I'm ready to pay the hundred. Seems like it only fails when my RPMs are high or obviously rocky dirt roads where there's bumps and then it drops connection. Pretty much where I need my GPS to work, it tends to glitch out and fail. Went up to Kremmling to go check out the...

With my extended warranty at this point, I'll pay the hundred to get this over with. I haven't been able to thoroughly connect to my dash screen with my phone since a year after I bought the car. I'm ready for a conveniency and less stress. The c-port to c-port connection dropped yesterday when...

Yeah same here—mine’s through Ford Motor Company so it should be covered under bumper-to-bumper. Still got charged, and it seems like it just depends on how the dealer runs it, which is frustrating.

By the way I like your profile picture. Is that hell's revenge? Did you try Mickey's hot tub? Yeah mine is actually through Ford Motor Company, so it should fall under bumper-to-bumper coverage. I still got charged though, and it really seems like it comes down to how the dealer handles...

Exactly—that’s been my experience too. Same phone, no issues in other vehicles, but in mine it’s inconsistent. That’s why it’s frustrating when it keeps getting chalked up to cables or phones when there’s clearly something else going on. Appreciate you confirming it’s not just me dealing with...

Haha I get where you’re coming from 👍 but I’ve actually tested this pretty thoroughly already. Same phone works perfectly in multiple other vehicles (even a loaner), so I’ve ruled that part out. What’s interesting is the issue changes depending on whether I use USB-A vs USB-C, which makes me...

Yeah I already addressed that with another member earlier — I’m aware of the port differences. I’m on Android, not iPhone. I’ve tested my phone in multiple other vehicles (including their loaners) and it works perfectly fine, so it’s not a phone issue. Another person suggested just running a...

They tried to say it was my phone causing the issue, but that doesn’t hold up. I’ve tested the same phone in multiple vehicles — including their loaner cars — and the connection works perfectly every time. The problem only happens in my vehicle. They wouldn’t really hear me out and just kept...

Appreciate you saying that — honestly that’s exactly how it feels. I’m not trying to dodge anything on my end… I’ve brought this in before, explained the issue clearly, and I even have an extended warranty. Being hit with a $250 “diagnostic fee” just to confirm something that’s already obvious...

Yeah I’m in the same boat. If I have to wedge the cable just to get power, it really seems like a port issue, not the phone. I’ve got an extended warranty too, so I’m hoping they’ll take care of it without the extra diagnostic fee. Might look into an independent diag like you mentioned just to...

I just meant a USB-C splitter that gives two USB-C outputs from one port. Main thing for me though is I want a solid CarPlay connection—I use the map a lot when I’m off-roading and having it on the dash is way better than my phone. My 12V port is already taken by my dash cam, so I’m really...

Yeah I hear you—that’s kind of where my head’s at too. I’ve tested multiple cables and phones in the same port and it still cuts out unless I mess with it, so it definitely feels like a hardware issue, not user error. I may end up contacting Ford directly because I’m getting the same vibe about...
