So a new interesting problem has snuck up...now when I answer a phone call I can't hear the caller and they can't hear me. But if I call someone everything works fine. So basically my car is a giant pager now.
Yeah I reached out to a local dealership, and forwarded the appraisal to them, and they were like "best we can do is $32k."
Not bad, but it's not a 3-5k profit. So, it's staying in my driveway.
Just today I entered my Badlands (W/O Badlands package) into Ford's Black Book trade-in appraisal form, and it came back with a trade in offer of $38-42k. Thats $3-5k more than what I paid for it!
That tells you that if Ford is offering that kind of trade in value, you know they're in high demand.
Honestly, I think my issues likely stem from Spotify. The app kinda sucks, and causes all sorts of other random issues. Fore example, sometimes it just doesn't want to work. Tapping on the Spotify icon just gives me a black screen with a note that says "Spotify doesn't seem to be working right...
My Badlands occasionally has this problem, but not nearly as often as my Subaru did. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10e, which I also used in the Subaru. I think problems occur most often when using Spotify, and especially when using Spotify and Google Maps at the same time. But, definitely need to...
Sadly, I think it's an issue with Android Auto. It basically only works when it works. Then it doesn't. I have seen reports of people having trouble with it in lots of different cars.
As a Badlands owner, I can say that there are some...quirks. They aren't specific to the Badlands, but to the first year Bronco Sport, and hopefully they will be addressed for the next model year, whenever that comes out.
Here's the first few that come to mind:
As many have noted, the "bumps"...
The hard part is often times the Badlands that are "dealer ordered" or "in transit" not only were ordered by someone that has already put down a deposit, but they already have 2 to 3+ people already lined up in case the original customer backs out. My dealer made this abundantly clear when I...
Do it! It's pretty easy to do yourself, and aftermarket speakers are a much more cost effective way to upgrade your car's audio. WAY cheaper and better than the factory "upgrade." A set of $100 speakers can easily provide a HUGE improvement in sound.
If you're going to DIY I highly recommend...
The points don't need to used to purchase accessories, basically it can included services, and my local Ford dealer said I could use them take $210 off the purchase of new tires as well.
Thanks Brody! The Metra adapter cable was the last piece of the puzzle I needed, so that's a huge help.
Most important question--how does it sound?? :):)
