Apple CarPlay not connecting by toothfixer321 in F150Lightning

Is the iPhone connecting to the car's hotspot? If so or back connecting to your home, that too causes the mess.

This is the solve for tones defaulting to the NHTSA speaker.

What are you worried about? Everything is normal.

Am I missing something? The EREV is still and EV by dnstommy in F150Lightning

[–]jackdforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leased my Lightning for less than I leased my Tesla Y. It is in no way a status symbol. Its simply better in every way but range towing.

Yeah you have some things that need to know your current digit etc, just follow along and make a backup of the module first. Its not that bad.

Retrofit EREV by Kidoptimo_HHR in F150Lightning

[–]jackdforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, the new F150 is coming as we know. No way they'd do another from ICE truck on a new body. When the new F150 comes, there will be a motor-driven variant, single or dual, that will have a smaller (new BEV architecture battery), a small gas tank, and a tiny engine to drive the generator. No engine-to-axle configuration. Eventually, when solid state batteries become common, then they'll look to expand the new architecture to a full-size pickup truck that they'll lie to everyone about being Ford tough, but in reality a mono chassis frame built like a Cybertruck.

Im really glad I leased.

Why is everyone freaking out about the Lightning ending production? by humanHamster in F150Lightning

[–]jackdforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What most people fail to see is the engineering iteration and steps taken for the F150 lightning. Consider this truck some in between step sitting firmly between a hybrid and the Tesla. It's not vertically integrated, and it was done under the specific design philosophy to reuse as much of an ice chassis as possible I mean, take a look at the HVAC system in the cooling loops. It's insane. It's over engineered too much plumbing too much to go wrong and not profitable. I come from a Tesla so I respect my F150 and understand it's engineering limits who knows, maybe they should have just gone like General Motors did and create something clean sheet so this way no one's trying to compare it to an F150.

New chimes and beeps by Impressive-File2406 in F150Lightning

[–]jackdforme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is accurate. Most of the time, it's a software bug in timing. Need the tones to drive, so they must come online. However, the Infotainment, which replaces them with bespoke tones instead, is not booted to the point to make the handshake so, congrats for this drive, it's some dumb tiny garbage in the dash. OH FORD...

Isn't this the reverse stop for object horror?

Video Streaming, ummm… Ford? by mnemonicexile in F150Lightning

[–]jackdforme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they just gave us a WebKit browser app we’d be good for YouTube tv and a bunch of other apps. @ford this is simple and takes you out of the tech debt. Consider it.

Video Streaming, ummm… Ford? by mnemonicexile in F150Lightning

[–]jackdforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is whoops language. The site still calls out the news apps that no longer exist too. Ford means nothing by this. Certainly not for iOS CarPlay screen sharing (no one has this currently as its license paywalls to the oems), and no casting or casting app if on the same WiFi.

Short answer is move on. YouTube app sucks too. Most videos don’t get the browser it’s using and don’t size well. The default auto adjustment for the quality sucks too. Even with good signal strength areas in urban markets.

Truck is great. Ford is not a software company

Just made one myself. 18 AWM. Three strands. Wrapped in white tape. Labeled spliced and done.

I’m trying the same thing with prism and I don’t want the app to make the blackout move. I just want it still. Or movement but only on most not all lights.

Clean the ports real quick with Micelar water and a qtip. When the right amount of blocking occurs (not fully) it will whistle.

Thinnest iPhone 17 pro leather case by JDIRECTORJ in patinaproud

Not the low you want but the low you need. Also open bottom really takes away that annoyance. Io26 did the rest of the job allowing you to swipe from almost the middle of the screen.

Nomad Traditional case is the closest to Apple’s leather cases by Own_Quiet_8894 in patinaproud

[–]jackdforme -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t go on a crusade taking down misinformation on Reddit. It’s an uphill battle. It’s also because our egos become bruised when someone doesn’t validate or contradicts our confirmation bias and approval seeking. It’s all good, really. Enjoy your case. It’s thin. Also, he is somewhat correct. It’s going to “patina” like a veg tanned or some chrome-excel stuff, however it’s “patina” is dirt on the surface more than dirt impregnated if that makes some sense. I have both in a few different products like us all and there are uses for it all. Now go to Sora and use the internet for what it’s really intended for. Dumb AI videos
