Wow, I am so thankful for these posts. I have a Bronco Sport Badlands and had a reservation for the Moab Off-Roadeo (and the overpriced hotel). After I read these posts I called Ford and it seems they had mistakenly put me down as owning the full sized Bronco. Imagine how happy a camper I would...

Looking forward to seeing how it works and looks. Please share pictures of the installation.

I got the BS back from the dealer. They couldn't replicate what happened but then they didn't pour any liquid on the switches either. Curiously there were no error codes. They cleaned a little residue off, tested the system and added dielectric grease to the switches. . I'm still curious if...

I spoke to a service manager and his reply was yes its likely the splash shorted out the circuits. I asked the same question we all have, are these switches protected from splashes? He really didn't know. The Bronco Sport seems to be uncharted territory to them since it's still so new but the...

Most likely I had stopped enough when I pulled over for it to switch. It went into reverse twice while trying to pull forward without any input to selector from me.

I took delivery on this BS back in December. Being it was at the beginning of the manufacturing learning curve it is possible something got left out. I'm definitely giving the dealer a call about checking out the switches.

So I'm driving my BS Badlands yesterday morning when a pothole and a poorly timed coffee cup return to the cupholder resulted in a small geyser of coffee shooting into the air though the little drink hole and landing on my shift knob and G.O.A.T selector. All heck broke loose. The shift...

My transceiver (mounted with heavy duty velcro under the drivers seat) is grounded and powered through the firewall (via an existing grommet) to the battery via 12 gauge copper wire . I'm only transmitting at 50 watts but if I ever go for higher output I'll be prepared. I also can't get myself...

If they specify a 20 amp fuse then the 5 amp fuse position wont work or at least not for long. Check the owners manual, I believe there might be a 20 or 30 amp fuse that's not in use and you could tap it. If you use a 20 amp fuse position that's already protecting a large load then your...

Thanks. Sorry I missed the earlier post on my rear camera. I installed it on the side of the rear window just for ease of installation. The viewing angle isn't much of a factor due to the wide angle lens still capturing everything behind me. Tinting isn't really noticeable in recordings but be...

I ran power from the fuse block, under the dash, along the passenger door seal, then along the A column trim and then along windshield trim to mirror. Most of the interior trim can be pried apart enough to get smaller gauged wires hidden. I used a nylon bike tire change tool so I didn't damage...

I changed antenna to a Nagoya UT-73 Mag mount and moved it to roughly Fords recommended position number 2. It's now about 3 inches forward of the BS antenna instead of the 27 inches previously. I also rerouted the coax in the interior in case that mattered. I didn't change anything with power...

So. I'm having my first actual long conversation on my radio installed in the BS. About 15 min. into the conversation I get an error on dash stating: "Intelligent Cruise Control Speed Sign Recognition Not Available" (Co-pilot 360+ installed) Everything seems to work fine but I try to reset by...

The only thing I've seen said that the crossbar weight limit is based on the roof weight limits. In my case I have a moonroof so I supposedly can only throw 100 lbs up there while moving.

Looking forward to seeing your experience show how an install should be done. I'm definitely winging it here. This new hobby I'm trying has a long learning curve The motorized mount uses a ground Independent antenna. I went with one of the recommended antennas, a Diamond NR770HBNMO. If the...

Thanks! I just ordered the micro-3 tap for 1-2 fuse.

I'm riding on the 235 Wildpeaks but have a 225 Scorpion as a spare. Dealer said it came that way from the factory when I questioned them.

My receiver will fit perfectly in the depression below the drivers seat. I have a VGC VR-N7500 dual band. I bought it because it's dimensions are perfect for under the seat. It also has no controls except an on/off switch. All frequency, squelch, memory changes etc. are bluetooth controlled via...

So after balancing my options I decided on going through a grommet instead of drilling a new hole for adding wires through the firewall. I ended up using the grommet directly behind the battery. Careful to avoid hitting other wires I punctured the grommet using an aluminum arrow shaft...

I might try 17 if it's accessible. It's listed as "SYNC. Receiver transceiver module. Integrated control panel". Since the radio Infotainment system stays on with auto stop this should work for us. Only problem is it may be an always on circuit for the Ford Pass/Sync system and not the power for...
