What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[Quashish]

...Put on the receiver hitch hole plug...
...looked for hiding/storage places for the rest of this stuff... Might have a clue on a fire extinguisher mount... I'll post it if it works.

Enjoy!

Have you seen the molle panel for the rear lift gate or rear seat back yet?

I like this option also. In the attached photo I have this sensor (?) facing the interior on the housing on my 2025 BL.

I think it's for the driver attention bull crap.

I'm not sure if this was on my 2021 BL.

I wonder if the Fitcamx has this on the new housing.

Looks like you are referring to the temperature sensor for the automatic climate system ?

Vantrue E1 Pro. Not because it’s a great dashcam, but because it fits where and how I want. Waiting on a 6”, 90-degree USB-C cable to power from the dash ports.

Using the 3M VHB on the mount for now. We’ll see how it works and go from there.

Nice mounting! The Vantrue E1 Pro power requirement on USB-C is stated at 5V/2A and while I’m not sure you plan to power it from the USB-C port just below the camera I believe that port is at least 15W so the camera is well within the capability of that USB-C port

I’ve already run it with a spare cable for an hour or so in an upper dash USB port, powers right up, runs fine, if on the hot side (common complaint with this unit). I will need to adjust the accessory power delay in FORScan, otherwise it keeps running for god knows how long. For now, I just manually power down at the conclusion of a trip.

When all else fails I read the manual.
Had to look for awhile.

it’s the sensor for the auto dimming rear view mirror.

Used a flashlight to verify.

Right and don’t you own a Klein Tools ET920? If so with your Bronco running, you can plug the short Klein USB-C cable into that accessory console USB-C port, take your 40-50% (or less) charged iPhone and plug into the bottom of the Klein (using a high power USB cable) and read off what the accessory console USB-C port provides which could be 5V/3A or more.

The type/brand of device you are powering (like an iPhone or whatever), how much the phone is currently charged to (measure at under 50% charged), and the type/brand/power capability of the USB cable all influence how much power the accessory console USB-C port provides.

Would be interesting for 2025/6 owners to at least get an idea of how much power the accessory console USB-C port can provide since Ford does not appear to document that spec.

I do have the Klein, haven’t tested anything for months when I was just looking for switched/unswitched accessory power.

I have yet to spend the time looking for wattage supplied at each port. I suppose I should get off my ass.

Funny!

But just the power supplied by the accessory tray ports USB-C and -A would be fine to have .. the other scattered ports typically have less interest

If you do get those perhaps making a new thread would be mostly helpful

The ‘21-‘24 ports are wimpy by todays standards .. would be interesting to see how Ford improved for ‘25-‘26

I pulled that console up when I was tinkering with some things. The "C" port seems piggybacked off the other one. So I doubt it delivers anything more than a typical USB-B 500ma port. they just made a "C" for user convenience. I think if they had a 3A or PD port, Ford would probably tout that in the sales material.

I've never read anything more realistic than this... hahaha

Are you referring to ‘25-‘26? the accessory tray USB-C port will supply well over 500mA at 5V and isn’t too difficult to measure the power output with some tools and a load

“ typical USB-B port (standard, 4-pin) operating under the USB 2.0 specification provides a maximum of 500 mA (0.5A) at 5 volts, delivering up to 2.5W of power. This is commonly found on printers, scanners, and USB hubs”

Have you seen the molle panel for the rear lift gate or rear seat back yet?

Yes, I'm still looking for other options though, I'm going to investigate some; under the back seats/replace the back seat, storage first; I got good storage in the Jeep cherokee XJ by doing this.
Also by storing some round things like rolled jumper cables; snatch strap etc in the space in the spare tire wheel...

The search has just begun...

Enjoy!

 

[Happy Joe]

Today I expect to measure the backseat foot wells and see if there is a case that will fit them well; (I really wish Ford had given me a 2 door option...). No desire to even investigate the 2 door full size; its simply too big. (I have no need to compensate for small/short things....)

I received the hitch tow point over the weekend Its a heavy bear (has anyone tried milling one out of aluminum yet; just the weight savings would make it attractive, IMO.).

Located the snatch strap shackle and jumper cable case from the TJ , today, I will check the shackles to see if they fit the front brush bar mount.. These 3/4 inch shackles fit...

Measured a rear passenger foot well I get approximately 13" x 20"
Harbor freight has a sale on their 3800 case ~$40; which should fit the back seat foot-well with room left over note the pic is for a larger case the 3800 does not have side latches.

... although I expect to fill it with tools instead of weaponry.
Enjoy!

Just pulled the trigger on a 2.25" lift

I'm sure that I will post more info as the project evolves...

Enjoy!
