I consider car parts to be "personal" territory. I don't want to make a decision for someone else, unless I know 100% for sure that the part I'm buying is exactly what they want, and then that sort of spoils the surprise. Getting someone the "wrong" part leads to noticeable awkwardness of...
MS Paint, or if I'm feeling fancy, Powerpoint.
Extreme Terrain used to have a decent visualizer (they might still, but I won't order from them or any of their other sites...)
The problem with any "warning light" in the vehicle for "soft top open" (such as a 12v NO switch running to an LED) is that it will be on any time the top is open.
If you want to get inventive, get an ultra-cheap 24vdc power supply (or pick up off your garage door opener's sensor circuit), a...
This is a very true statement. There are things that I feel could have been designed and tested better, but nothing that I would get rid of the vehicle over. I have said it many times on this forum, I think the Bronco is one of the best options for a modern vehicle out there today.
The...
Narrator: Coming soon, to a future near you!
*Gets in vehicle
*Goes to hit "start engine button"
*Stupid touch-screen Prompt: "Are you sure you want to start the engine, press yes or no"
*Hit "yes"
*"You selected yes, please confirm yes or no"
*Hit "yes"
*"Thank you for confirming. Please...
My argument against the "just push the button" rhetoric is this... It's one extra unnecessary motion in a time where unnecessary motions and commands have become normal because everyone is blind to it.
Think about "surfing the internet" in the 90's. Gee, those pop-up ads were so annoying...
I am normally the guy that says "screw options! Make simpler and more reliable vehicles for less!" But, I am totally with you on cooled seats. I had them in a S550 GT too, I ran those things year round. I'll gladly trade away all other options and electronic gizmos to get cooled seats. Give...
I've got to hand it to you crazy off-roaders- I can't mentally wrestle with the stress from that. I've dragged knee on public roads on race bikes, drove a 1200hp drag car in a blizzard across 3 states, raced up and down mountain switch-backs with no guardrails, climbed down rock faces with...
Our son is in a rear-facing car seat that has a ridiculous amount of padding like a quilt. There have been a few times where we have the AC cranked and he winds up sitting in a pool of sweat when we take him out after a 10 minute drive. The pediatrician said it might be genetic, since I can't...
Do you happen to know what the time delay is, and if it can be controlled in Forscan? I don't have any aux-switches.
I have heard mixed reviews on them. Some people say they work great, others not so much. I'll test out airflow on them and see if redirecting with some high-quality prototype...
Despite cranking the AC and parking in the garage or shade as much as possible, we are finding that the interior temp in the back seats of our 4dr Bronco is too high for our toddler in sweltering SC heat, even on a short drive. I bought a nice 12v fan and mounted it to the upper crossbar to...
Because program and marketing directors need to justify their existence.
"Fixes? We don't need no stinkin' fixes! Update the design! Update the design! Do it quicker, I have 34 weeks of vacation coming up and no proxy during my absence. Can we leverage AI? I hear AI is something we need...
I fell into that mentality for a few years when I got sick of driving high-mileage unreliable vehicles and wanted to treat myself to something "nicer" when my income started getting better. I quickly learned that my definition of "nicer" wasn't accurate. I had more issues with the newer...
The most comforting thing I can say to that is... the vehicle doesn't know what year it is. Our perception of "new" is fabricated and shaped by social trends. There 's an OBS Ford F150 on marketplace right now near me with < 10,000 original miles. It's a time capsule that look showroom new...
As others said, you can remove the unwanted modes in Forscan but I don't think you can re-order them.
I wish there wasn't such a delay when selecting mode. I like the ring dial for haptic sense, two clicks and I'm where I want to be. Not sure why there is a 4s delay.
I don't leave mine in...
