    Annoying Horn alert

    The car will also do the double honk when you open the car door if the security system has been triggered.

    Apple CarPlay interface not showing

    I tried using a very short USB cable on mine and never could get it to work. I tried several brands. Looks like 14 inches or so is minimum length you can use. So check that. If you have a wireless adapter and that is not working, do a reset on it and then reconnect your phones.

    Apple CarPlay interface not showing

    I have an Ottocast Air 2 Pro in both my 350Z and the Bronco Sport and these work most of the time but not always. When it gets too bad, I do a reset on the Ottocast and it starts working again. The Porsche has built in wireless which always seems to work.

    Any known issues with the Collision Avoidance system?

    I had a false alarm this past week. There was a huge line of cars backed up in the opposing lane and the road was curving to the right. I can only conclude that the BS saw the mass of cars directly in front of me but did not detect that the road was curved and I was staying in my lane. I can...

    Dealer Maintenance Record?

    I read that you can post all the DIY maintenance to CarFax and it would retain it for you, however that information would not be available to third-parties.

    Back up camera glare

    Since it is a camera, a camera lens cover could help--maybe a polarized lens cover.

    Any 3d print files out there?

    There are many 3D parts around but the available search engines are not that good. I have attached a list of search engines that focus on STL files. The STL file format is the standard format for parts designed for 3D printers. Once you find what you are looking for, you have to download the...

    Towing capacity for Base model without factory install towing package?

    If you are trailering, there are lots of settings you can do in FORScan specifically for using a trailer but there seems to be very little documentation on what those settings do.

    Ordering - Ventilated Seats?

    I have ventilated seats in my Porsche and I am not sure that I would get a convertible without it, but I do not see the need with the Bronco Sport because the windows are usually closed with the air conditioner on..

    Towing capacity for Base model without factory install towing package?

    These posts are timely. I have been asked if can tow an aluminum trailer with up to 12 kayaks. I have the Bronco Sport and an Escape Hybrid, both rated at 1500 towing capacity. I think that either vehicle could tow the trailer but I have not weighed the trailer and kayaks to make sure.

    Beer of the day thread

    I had a work assignment in American Samoa for several months and our group became fans of Steinlagers, a beer made in New Zealand. It came in 1 liter bottles. Another favorite was Olympia. I recall that an Australian cruise ship came through for a day and there were no more Oly's on the...

    Stop / Start feature rarely engages

    The auto stop and start feature seems to be driven by the state of charge. Drive it daily and it should work reliably. My Porsche works the same way and I need to keep it on the Battery Minder or drive it a few miles before auto stop works.

    Bring A Trailer Auctions

    Anyone here purchased a car through the Bring A Trailer auctions? There always seems to be a good mix of old and newer cars and some prices are very good and some seem to be for more than a new car.

    Beer of the day thread

    That's a great brewery. I belonged to a camping group that set up each year at Oshkosh. We always had a keg of Spotted Cow on tap.

    swollen nuts, lol

    Using an impact is not necessarily bad or dangerous. I use an Ingersol Rand air impact all the time. Mine has an ability to regulate torque for both installation and removal. When set at the low setting for installation, mine gives me about 75-78 foot pounds and I use the torque wrench for...

    I have a Porsche Boxster 981 and a 350Z for fun and my 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid for work projects.

    Front camera service warning and assisted cruise Not working

    Is it reading the speed limit signs and displaying them? This sounds like a dealer issue; is it still under warranty?
