I haven't seen it mentioned, but I was able to install it, and I have the base with the base package. I thought this would only work on vehicles with MID and above packages.

Has anyone has issues logging in? I click Login with Ford account, something spins for a second and then it takes me right back to the previous screen with the Login with Ford account button.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I'm on Android by the way.

Nevermind, I use a DNS for adblocking and it was causing the issue. I turned it off, logged in, turned it back on and all is working as expected. Cool app!

For those that have tried recording,
1) Is anyone else experiencing choppy video playback?
2) When in camera mode, once I start moving, the phone screen goes black "for my safety". So does the on board screen. Is there any to bypass this important feature?

I’m in Canada but don’t know why it’s showing me trails in US
Can’t seem to find a filter to change location even though I have location services turned on and allowed

That is strange as I am out in BC and it shows all the trails around me, as well as US ones. Maybe uninstall and try again, ensuring you allow full location services.

Confirmed - only shows trails in BC & Alberta.
I’m in Ontario

we discussed this in the Ontario bronco club - they don’t have it for us yet

Whipped up a quick video for those folks who do not have their Bronco yet or are having issues getting it running—there are a few settings you have to tweak on your phone and on the Bronco to get it to work properly.

No problems with choppy playback.

My phone stays active until it gets to a certain speed. So you can use it on low-speed trails with the screen remaining active, but anything remotely fast and it blacks out the phone. (I’m sure there were lawyers involved with that one—don’t want to be sued due to a negligent Bronco driver using Ford’s fancy trail recording app.)

That said, I’m pretty sure the sync screen itself stayed active the entire time, I’ll have to double-check later today.

Once I got on solid wifi the map downloaded much better. Pretty cool so far. Need to try it out in the rig next.

Choppy was the wrong word. It's more like the framerate is incredibly low and video doesn't seem smooth.
Not if this will show but here goes:

Oh… yeah. I don’t have that problem.

Your video has a much higher resolution than mine, but produces much choppier video. So I’m guessing it’s having a hard time keeping up with the quality of the video.

I didn’t have to touch anything on my iPhone, so are you on an Android? I wonder if there is a setting within the Android OS to lower the resolution of the video. If so, may be worth a shot.

Oh you genius!
I'm using a now 5 year old Note 10 on Android 12, and the first thing I did was change the setting to 1080p, which I forgot about.
I'll try changing it back to 720p and report back.

Everglades is a Mid package with large screen option. All along it was high package or better for this stuff from the get go, but that was started before Everglades was a thing.

Low package BB here and it works on mine. I had thought it was an uptrim thing, but apparently not.
