My quirk is that so many people giving me thumbs up while driving and when parked want to engage me with conversation regarding my baby!!!!........

I spent like 25 minutes digging through the settings to see if I could turn off the horn honk on exit if you have the fob in your pocket... nope. I HATE it lol. I honked multiple times early in the AM by accident while I was loading up golf clubs and stuff. It still scares the crap out of me when it happens lol. Im not used to have a vehicle honk at me when the fob exits the car.
Don’t have a Ford to try it yet, but on my GM vehicles with the fob if you leave the driver’s door open it won’t do the double honk…must think you are coming right back. Not ideal if it raining or very cold, but it prevents the honk of the horn. Might be worth a try on the Bronco.

Oh it still honks lol Thats actually normally what I do.

My Volkswagens and Porsches don't honk at all just an alert on the dash saying the fob isn't detected

I read that you can disable it with Forscan, I bought a USB to OBD cord. I'm going to sit down and learn it this weekend hopefully and figure it out.
Might as well add missing GOAT modes and disable the key/seatbelt/door chimes too 👍🏻

Constant whistle with roof up or down is annoying

12" touch screen when changing channels on XM satellite by pushing the onscreen left or right button will go all the way to the last channel about 1/3 of the time.

that's how it works for me, if I get out and leave the door open I get no honk. That's how I get my mail every day.

You can disable this with forscan if you like

maybe from the side mirrors? There's a remedy for that if you search here, I think might even be a replacement cap from Ford, can't remember. I don't have the musical mirrors so din't really pay much attention to those threads, but you should find info for that in the forum.

Water temp, oil temp, trans temp, turbo boost but no oil pressure: the most important gauge IMO

Thanks. Pretty sure it’s coming from over the windshield. Gets really loud when the roof is down.

One issue is that at times the ambient lighting will set to all the way dim even though I keep it at max. The last issue is when I’m on the highway air is being pushed through the vents like the blower is on high speed even at speed one. I think it has to do with an issue with the cowl.
