  1. Switching Temperature Control Knobs in MY22 to MY21

    Can validate that the part with displays from a 2021 BS BL with heated seats & heated steering wheel does work when put in a 2023 BS BL. Which should be expected to work, but I haven't seen anyone else report on doing it with a 2023, so chiming in. As others have said, the 4D Tech video...
  2. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    In something that I'm sure wasn't worth the money or effort (the swap isn't quick... You need to remove many dash pieces to get it out), I bought the temperature controls from a 2021 BS BL (that have the temperatures on a small displays within the dials) and put it in my 23 BS BL (which lacked...
  3. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    A couple of days ago I ran a wire for my Uniden R7 radar detector (mounted to the mirror stem via a Blendmount - highly recommended) through the headliner, down the passenger A pillar to aux power. I also took the opportunity to run a front/rear dashcam combo (Viofo A129 Pro Duo - 4K in the...
  4. Moonroof...please explain why you would want one...

    Moonroof is a matter of opinion. First is money, second is potential negative impacts. In my last car (a 2015 Fusion) the difference in the height of the headliner to accommodate the moonroof would be an issue for taller drivers, but the Bronco is so boxy and tall already, that it's likely not...
  5. Best OBD to USB cable for FordScan

    Some people are very concerned about the risk of a bluetooth disconnect during programming, but I've never had an issue with an OBDLink MX+ and making changes. I also generally restart my PC from fresh, close unneeded programs, and run FORScan alone to minimize the chance of any stability...
  6. Big Bend Upgrade to Outer Banks / Badlands Gauge Cluster

    It's may be doable, but when I was looking to do this in a 2015 Ford Fusion (to swap to a Mondeo European instrument cluster where it was entirely a projected screen with no physical dials), the programming of the odometer couldn't be done via Forscan. It required a different software, UCDS, and...
  7. Cracked windshield — get OEM glass?

    I can't speak to the Bronco Sport but when I had a windshield crack on my 2015 Ford Fusion, I used a local glass guy and he used a Fuyao (non-OEM) windshield. It was marked as acoustic glass (what Ford calls soundscreen), other than the logo in the corner it looked just like the Ford one...
  8. Three little buttons on the ‘23 Badlands

    I just took delivery of a 23 BS BL a month ago and I would have been very sad if it didn't have driver seat/mirror memory. One other note: it is possible with the mirror memory to enable the sideview mirror going down to a set (memory) position while in reverse gear. It requires: 1) Using a...
  9. 12V Dc outlets port always on??

    Reviving this thread but if you have an OBDII adapter with MS-CAN bus support and a Windows computer running Forscan, you can change the powerpoint timeout in the bodyCM from whatever setting it was (I think it was around 4200s / 60 seconds to the minute = 70 minutes) to something lower (I...
  10. For those interested in getting wireless car play rather than have to plug the phone in.

    Carlinkit 4.0's Android Auto implementation isn't great. What it does is it basically "fakes" to the car radio that it's Carplay, and translates that for the Android phone. The pro of this is that there are some cars/aftermarket radios which had Carplay support, but no Android Auto support - so...
  11. Bronco ForScan Thread

    23MY became supported in the version released March 29th, 2023. I tweaked a couple parameters - auto start/stop disable didn't work (so I just installed the inline wired hardware one for that purpose) and restored the BodyCM back to where it was. Powerpoint timeout in seconds did work (which...
  12. $ 40.00 Bucks for a map update c’mon Ford ???

    Q2 2021 is still the most current map, but there are ways to get the map update USB created for free (namely, Syn3 updater, which is not created by/affiliated with/etc. FoMoCo). All you need is a computer running a recent version of Windows and a USB drive large enough to hold the map data...
  13. Ford Bronco Sport Heads Up Display

    I just got my car, but I'm going to put in a relatively obscure heads up display called a Navdy in my car. (Founded ~2012, broke 2017, hobbyist community took to updating firmware and map update instructions - had it in my last car, will migrate to the BS when I have the chance). Nothing...
  14. Has the Wi-Fi hotspot been eliminated from all models going forward?

    My 2023 BS BL doesn't have the wifi delete credit on the window sticker and AT&T let me activate the 3GB trial plan. I haven't had the chance to actually test if it works, will report back when I do.
  15. How do I program a (third) bronco sport key fob?

    I can validate that this procedure works to program a third and fourth keyfob on a 2023 Bronco Sport Badlands, having just done this. Thank you for this contribution, you saved me $175 in labor + tax having the dealer program the keys instead. I was able to validate functionalty by testing the...
  16. Bronco Sport Outer Banks and Badlands Two Tone

    I just got scheduled on a 23 Badlands with Alto Blue paint and black roof for the week of 01/09/23, so either the restriction was limited that to gray paint/gray roof and black paint/black roof, or it's been lifted now, best I can tell.
  17. I Got The Magic Email!

    Congrats all who were scheduled. I put my order in 08/10 and no such luck on scheduling. Dealer told me that the moonroof and 2.0 engine were showing slight shortages...
