Hey there! I’m new to the forum. I love my new Bronco Sport. I was in the market for a new Ford Ranger, because I‘ve always driven a truck, but my wife convinced me to look at the Bronco Sport. Glad I did, traded in my Tacoma and scored a Cactus Grey Big Bend. Got my fingers crossed - so far I am not encountering any of the problems mentioned on this forum. I do need help in how to handle the new tech, though: is there a way to turn the electricity on without starting the car? Thanks in advance.

Keep your foot off the brake pedal, and press start... that's the accessory mode.

What do you need accessory power for? You do not need accessory power to turn on the infotainment system (SYNC); just touch the power button (on the volume knob). SYNC will power on independently of other systems and remain powered on for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes it will shut off automatically.

Just need to turn on the lights or roll up the windows when the car isn’t running. Thanks.
