    How to put vehicle in neutral with non-working key fob/for towing

    The $60 fob's from eBay work well with the BS and can be programed by the owner. Figure another $30 for a locksmith to cut the key that fits in the fob.

    Adding a Service Record to FordPass?

    Nm, figured it out. A scanned receipt can be uploaded only after the cost is entered.

    Adding a Service Record to FordPass?

    I’m trying to add a dealer service receipt to “Service History” in the FordPass app as a scanned .pdf file. That used to work but the upload button seems to be missing. I can create a service record with date, mileage, etc but can’t upload the receipt. Any help on this? Tnx.

    Who’s Waiting for a Bronco Sport Hybrid?

    My previous vehicle before the BS was a Ford Escape Hybrid 4WD. I drove it for 15 years and 100k trouble free miles, just routine service, even had the original brakes. I loved it until the HV battery needed replacement, $10k from Ford. The only alternative batteries are rebuilds at $2k-4k with...

    Window Deflectors - Ford vs EGR Before and After Pics

    Same here. I normally like WeatherTech products but got tired of waiting on them to be available. Got the EGR instead and they are a perfect fit. I'm only using them on the front windows, no need for deflectors on the rears.

    Theft from Vehicle

    Maybe just get a plain hitch cover without the Bronco on it. I'm still using the one from my 2007 Escape, not worth stealing I guess.

    Lost my battery at 19 months

    Good to know, I thought it used the starter. Start/stop is one aspect of my Escape hybrid I miss.

    SYNC 3.4 Build 22251 Now Available 1/22/23

    I did the sync install on a short drive, was about 10 min as you said. Did the map install just now on a charger after @Mark S. explained why that is necessary, took maybe 30 min but I wasn’t watching. So all up to date for now. Thanks for your help on this.

    SYNC 3.4 Build 22251 Now Available 1/22/23

    The link displays my specific VIN and order number so it’s unlikely to work for you. Just call the Ford number that was referenced above and explain you didn’t get the one free update. They are quick to respond. Unfortunately future updates are $100, so this is the last one for me.

    SYNC 3.4 Build 22251 Now Available 1/22/23

    I got an email from Ford today with a link for the one free map download. I don’t understand why the engine needs to be running to apply the Sync and map updates. Seems like having the electrical system on should be enough. Ford needs to take a lesson from Garmin on OTA updates.

    SYNC 3.4 Build 22251 Now Available 1/22/23

    Ford replied to me about my inability to DL the free map update, see below. There was no change in "About Sync" display after the resets, exactly the same. I did lose all my Navigation Favorites & radio presets after the reset, and most other settings go to default, a big hassle with nothing...

    SYNC 3.4 Build 22251 Now Available 1/22/23

    Mine's a '22. I'll contact the Connected Services Team, I current have NAV 2 20. Thanks for the help! UPDATE: Spoke to Tyler at Connected Services Team. It appears that someone downloaded the update already using my VIN , that's why only the paid option appears for me. They agreed to...

    SYNC 3.4 Build 22251 Now Available 1/22/23

    I need some advice. I downloaded and performed the Sync3 update, no problems and completed normally in about 10 minutes of driving. The xml file was written to my USB stick at completion, but it fails as "Sync_VOAK0493_3FMC…. Upload Failed" when I attempt to upload it to Ford. Is this a known...

    Using Engineering Test Mode

    I’ve recorded my displayed mpg and actual mpg since new (fuelly.com), so I’m ready to apply a correction factor. Thanks for the info on how to do that.

    3rd Dealer Oil Change, Oil Pan Missing Threads.

    What do they mean by "missing threads"? A manufacturing defect in the threading would have been discovered on the first oil change. I'm betting that the mechanic stripped the threads at the last oil change when he got the plug cross-threaded.

    Ford BMS Battery Monitoring System: How it Works, How to Properly Charge, How to Power Accessories

    "After battery replacement, or in some cases after charging the battery with an external charger, the battery management system requires eight hours of vehicle sleep time to relearn the battery state of charge. During this time, your vehicle must remain fully locked with the ignition switched...
