GM fails to understand that yes, people really will choose a different brand over the lack of CarPlay or Android Auto compatibility.
I wouldn't even call myself a "Ford guy," but having owned two Fords over the last 15 years, and having had the displeasure of renting a handful of Chevys...
Yeah, please share the link if you can. I've literally been searching for something like this for years. I see a bunch of them on eBay, but I can't find one on Amazon.
Will do. I think I just need to update the Sync software. It’s running whatever was current in late 2022, when the first 2023 models were being built.
Interesting. Maybe that feature is enabled in one of the updates—my vehicle was built in late 2022 and the software has yet to be updated. Mine displays a generic radio antenna icon in that space.
I always loved the styling of the old International trucks of the 70s and I'm glad someone has resurrected the brand. An EV with a gas range extender sounds like a really great idea for the transitional period we're currently in.
We've done a few 900 mile road trips in our Badlands and I'm always surprised at how comfortable it is to drive for hours at a time on the highway. The adaptive cruise and lane holding are great for reducing fatigue.
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but can I install this latest update without installing prior updates that came out after my Bronco Sport was built? I've had it for around 18 months and I know there were software updates between what I got from the factory and the latest.
I wouldn't mind a slightly bigger screen, but I do not like those capacitive buttons at all. They're hard to use while you're trying to keep your eyes on the road and they don't offer the physical feedback that lets you know that you've actually pressed the button.
Yep! I believe that feature started disappearing during the 2022 model year. I use CarPlay a lot and it's annoying to have to turn the knob just to see the temperature setting.
I also got no credit for the missing Wi-Fi hotspot.
But having lived with my Badlands for a year now, the most annoying "supply chain" omissions would have to be the rear camera washer and the temp displays on the knobs in the cabin.
I just ordered a case on eBay that included a manual for a 2014 E-Series van, for around $10. The contents were all shrink wrapped from the factory, so it was probably discarded from a fleet vehicle or something similar.
Thanks, this is very helpful because the parking management company clearly is unaware of this information. They instructed everyone to put it in the far upper corner of the driver's side. Fortunately I've affixed it with a little piece of packing tape so it can be moved around. I will try...
