I believe that it is a standard battery but I have not yet confirmed.

You can use FORScan to disable SiriusXM as a music source.

Here are some battery tests on my BS Outer Banks and charging system. The battery test was done about 6 days from last use and I used the 700 cold cranking amps on the battery. The battery test showed that battery at slightly below 12.0v and CCA tested significantly higher than 700 CCA (976...

So you are saying that the fastener's only screw into plastic and not any kind of metal underneath or on edges of the plastic? That would have to be very strong plastic since batteries are often 35-60 lbs or so.

I would bet that these are cheap fasteners that do not have much corrosion resistance. I doubt that the issue is acid related and more likely dissimilar metal corrosion. If I wanted to keep existing hardware, I would apply ACF-50, Corrosion-X, or Boeshield T-9 after wire brushing any rust or...

Make sure that previous owner did not install a disable start security system. I bought a used Miata and after a fuel fill the engine wold turn over but not start. I had given up and planned to call AAA but noticed the security system had a blinking light. I used the remote to unlock the...

When you use your Battery Tender, are you connecting the negative to either the negative battery terminal or a chassis ground and connecting the positive lead directly to the Ford Battery Minder System rather than the positive battery terminal? It has to go through the BMS.

I have a fingerprint activated safe in my 350Z in the rear storage compartment. It has a cable which I have attached to the body with some secure screws in one of the rear compartments. It is large enough to store one compact firearm in its holster with a couple of magazines. I do a couple of...

First, I plug in one of the Ottocast wireless adapters to one of the front USB outlets and I keep the phone in the console attached to the Apple wireless charging pad. I mostly use CarPlay; I only need to look at the phone to resolve any issues that may pop up.

My dealer installed the Perimeter plus on mine for about $100 but I did not have the extended antenna or the LED indicator light on my installation. I was tempted to just contract with a stereo installer to do this and I am sure that it would have been less expensive.

You may want to see if you can sell the hood insulator locally. I have seen quotes of $350 to ship that item. I had mine sent to my local Ford dealership for pickup and avoided those shipping costs.

I believe that those can be changed in settings. You should also be able to change in FORScan.

I am developing a FORScan spreadsheet for the Bronco Sport but not yet finished. It is a setting called "double honk" which just needs to be disabled. I do not recall the module. Give me a few days and I will post the instructions on how to do this. You will need a FORScan compatible OBD2...

No. Mine already had the dual controls and heated steering wheel so no hardware changes (just firmware configuration.) Mine just did not display climate controls on the sync screen like it does now. I will post something when I enable the heated seats and see if the rear controls will display...

I added climate controls to my 2023 Outer Banks and all worked well. I added the heated steering wheel. I will have to look some more to add the heated seats. I noticed that there was an enable for rear controls. I presume that that would be added to the screen as well? Anyone tried that?

I would not use acetone anywhere near a car. I tried to use it to clean the back of the seat on my plane. The vinyl started smoking and instantly deformed.

Your insurance company may cover this minus your deductible.

Misfire issues can usually be fixed with new plugs and new coils and looks like an easy job on the BS. I have had good luck with AAA on clutches and so I would check with them on a transmission.

I am trying to map the AS-Built lines for the BS to the respective modules. I have 3 addresses that I cannot map: 703,723. and 736. Anyone know what those are?

500ma is a little low for charging but may be OK for maintaining. There is some parasitic draw on the BS so power needs plus charging may be higher than this. Personally, I like one that can deliver at least 1 amp. I am a big fan of the Battery Minder.
