Exactly. Sometimes people would complain less if they read the manual and understood how things actually work. Lot easier to do if you have a paper copy. Like the adaptive cruise control -- if you're below the set speed limit and put on your turn signal, the car may intentionally give you a...

We had a ton of credit due to the hardtop, ended up buying Sunvisor, tailgate table, tow kit, grille lettering, cargo area liner + net, black platinum sill plates, rubber hitch plug, the pantone ambient lighting LEDs for front footwells, and a hoodie. Tailgate table was a waste of money though...

I get the feeling auto-hold would work on any Bronco -- i don't see why it would require Lux features. It doesn't use the camera or radar for its functionality.

It's possible if you DIY install the sensor. Thread on the subject. It's only partially tested, biggest issue is the vinyl. The sensor keeps trying to pull the vinyl off the glass so it may be necessary to add a layer of glass primer as well.

I'm assuming it's just flashing firmware to the SCCM or something? Would the tech even notice / would it affect anything that I added rain sensing to my Bronco, or should I disconnect/disable it first?

On the older lane assists that were integrated in the rearview mirror, they had different firmware for with/without traffic sign recognition. Many Focus owners in Europe would flash the TSR-enabled firmware to their mirror. The mirror itself would be stamped "AHBC/LA" or "AHBC/LA/TSR"...

A second battery under the hood is going to be difficult. I've had issues with mine going into deep sleep because it doesn't get driven on the highway much. Mounted a 10amp charger under the hood and popped an RV outlet in the bumper so I could plug it in at night. Keep a lithium jumpstarter...

The pins are numbered inside the body, though it's incredibly tiny. When the sensor is attached to the glass, connector facing towards the roof, the pins are arranged, left to right: Ground, LIN, Power. The connector diagram is pretty vague, so hopefully this is clearer:

Ours did it for the first 300 miles or so

I had a dealer do this on my Flex, drilled holes in the bumper just for their ugly dealer advertising tag. Both my cars were black so I was able to get away with using these little black plugs from some electrical boxes at work. You might be able to find something similar at a hardware store

Same, though I've noticed that if you just barely touch the throttle, you can get the engine to restart while auto-hold stays engaged. I like to restart the engine when crosstraffic gets a yellow, then simply hit the gas when I have green for a smooth takeoff. Sometimes in just the right...

Thanks, I kept forgetting to finish figuring out the templates. Luckily I found a plugin for Fusion 360 to export the sketches as SVG because Inkscape, Krita, Cricut, and all the rest of the Illustrator-style programs suck. Templates in SVG format are attached as a ZIP below, as well as...

Everybody driving slower than me is an idiot. Everybody driving faster than me is a maniac. But my blood gets angriest when I have cruise set and another car starts yo-yoing next to me on the highway. Pass me or don't, but don't hover in my blindspot when I was driving faster than you 30...

Tried to figure out Cricut Design Space. It's terrible. It was easier to convert my 3d printer into a vinyl cutter instead. I'm pretty happy with how it came out this time with the smaller circle. Looking at other vehicles, it turns out the sensor is slightly off-center in a lot of cars, I just...

I just have crap memory. Last time I compared, it was a 70k F150 to 90k Bronco. Still a 20k+ premium to get something that you can offroad a bit better a handful of times, vs something far more practical for daily/weekend use.

The Bronco is a bad value as-is, but Heritage is insane. It's an Outer Banks with a white roof and a couple accessories, for an extra $30k. It's such a dick move on Ford's part to do this Heritage vs Heritage Limited deal. You want the heritage styling, but heated steering wheel or garage door...

One of the first things I did was print a deeper tray in a similar style, but capable of holding more than half a pair of sunglasses.

Took another shot at automatically selecting Eco/Sport/Baja, thinking maybe switching networks would work. The "Return to ____?" prompt originates on FD1-CAN from the ABS module, so I was hoping I could detect that message and automatically send the response ("Yeah return to Eco"). FD1 is easy...

What's the exhaust column about?

Pretty happy with mine. Makes a big difference backing into the garage
