I recently got a new iPhone 16 Pro and it seems to be at odds with my stereo (‘23 OBX). If I don’t hook up the CarPlay in just the right order it won’t work, and today the whole system froze, even after I shut the car off and opened the door to completely shut everything down. I did a factory...

You can roll your eyes, but does my OBX have traction control? If so, where do I find it? Remember, I’m a So. CA kid and we just don’t have weather to worry about this kind of stuff. Thanks.

Thanks. I should be fine. Went to the local auto shop and it appears that I can buy them and return them if I don’t use them.

Wotan, you say to use 2 sets, but the owner’s manual says to put them on the front only. Is this a requirement of getting into Yosemite, and is there somewhere that I can confirm it? I don’t intend to use them if I don’t have to and will return them if they don’t get used. I can count on...

Before I begin, let me preface my question with this: I’m a So. CA kid and have VERY limited experience driving in snow, so please be kind. ? My niece is getting married on February 27 in Yosemite at the Valley Chapel. While I’ve been to the Valley dozens of times I’ve never gone during the...

Well. Guess I’ll be checking THAT today … ?

Does the RDU shudder happen only at low speeds or all the time when you’re turning?

It’s hard to explain. The only other thing I can liken it to is how brakes will sometimes shudder, but it’s not as pronounced as that. But yes, it definitely feels like it’s in the wrong gear, causing the motor to lug. The bottom line is that it’s been identified, acknowledged and it can’t be...

Update from the dealer: I took a drive with the Service Manager and was able to replicate the shudder 3 times for him to feel. His initial comment was that it was as if the car was shifting to a higher gear and therefore the motor was lagging — kind of like what happens when you drive a stick...

I’ve just sent you a message, hoping you’ll see it and let me know what I should do before I pick up my car later this morning. Thanks.

I haven’t posted here simply because I haven’t felt the need. However, my 23 OBX (with 11k miles) is currently in the shop and I need some of your collective thoughts. I took my car in for its regular oil change and they found that I needed a new water pump. I’d been watching the fluid level...

Not that it’s going to make much difference, but I have a ‘23 OBX that I got in November. My auto stop/start never worked correctly … until my battery totally died at 400 miles after 8 days of ownership. To say I was angry is an understatement. The dealership quietly replaced the battery and...

Okay, I need to weigh in here too. I’ve got a 2023 OBX and my spouse has a 2023 Escape. She can connect to CarPlay wirelessly and I can’t, even though my car is more “upgraded” than theirs. Should I be able to connect to CarPlay wirelessly? We both have iPhone 14 Pros. Thanks.

I’d love to know this as well. I used it last week when we had our “atmospheric river” pass through and roads were crazy-wet.
