I just moved my Garmin Mini 2 from my leased ā23 OB to my ā25 Badlands using the dongal. They said it wouldnāt work with a 2025, but mine works flawlessly. I had it hooked up in less than 5 minutes.
Itās just a PITA. Iām used to the old way that never failed me. Now start the vehicle, turn it off, go to accessory mode, then the regular sequence. Why the addional step starting the vehicle?
It works off of the Motorhomes air brake system. It has a connection that ties into the EBB. When installed, they said they had to purchase a T fitting. I didnāt watch them install it, Iām just going on what they told me.
The way that they are describing the supplemental braking system is not related to a DEMCO AF1. Look at the #14 (installation) and the #1 Removal of braking system statements. Our AF1 Is connected to the EBB and as I stated, weāve towed over 500 miles with no issue.
Ford may need to update...
Again, my onboard manual instructions on my ā25 Badlands doe not require pulling fuses. I have flat towed it twice 250 miles each way without any issue. Just an FYI.
Iāve towed our ā25 Badlands on a 400 mile trip and had no issues. I put thousands of miles on our ā23 Outer Banks after a ācatastrophic transmissionā failure. The transmission was replaced under warranty and even with a new charge line installed, I would still get the ācheck brakesā warning. So...
I currently have a 2025 Badlands with my camera hooked up to the dongar. I guess mine must have the mirror option. I had it hooked up on my 2023 Bronco also and just transferred it over.
Up for sale is one pair of Rock Rails from my 2025 Bronco Badlands. I installed running boards and no longer need these. These would have to be picked up in the Tulsa Oklahoma area. Iām asking $300 or best offer. Contact me here or text me at 9-1-6-4-1-6-4-1-0-9.
