There is a difference here..Waze provides you with information based on what users are submitting, here the local hazard information comes from the local weather authorities if I'm not mistaken...

Pretty sure there's a guide on this forum on installing one yourself, though obviously that would be at your own risk and you have to pull parts of the car apart to do so (and also buy the bits and enable it in the car software of course)! It does seem rather stingy to not include the rear camera on a car that costs over 30 grand! Mind you, it isn't just Ford - just the rear camera is a £330 option on a 30 grand Golf Style (though it has adaptive cruise control as standard, but a heated windscreen isn't even a option). Gone are the days when you could just buy a car at a certain price point and know you got all the toys (or even have them as options)! Yeah, it looks like the X trim has largely replaced the old Vignale option from reading about. The seats even have Vignale labels on them. Edit: You can see just how similar they all are on this pricelist which lists the main spec https://www.ford.co.uk/content/dam/guxeu/uk/documents/price-list/cars/PL-New_Focus.pdf AFAIK the Ford 8 speed auto is/was the same used by Vauxhall/Opel. Though pretty sure the PSA EAT8 is the same or similar box too. Perhaps Ford didn't want to pay licences or the cost of buying them in became too high or something 🤷♂️. I believe the return to powershift coincided with the introduction of MHEV - perhaps this implementation wasn;t compatible with the torque converter automatic. The 7 speed powershift seems a lot smoother than the version used in the mk3, but I haven't had a lot of miles yet as only got the car yesterday evening. Potential issue: The drain I have been getting on my iPhone 13 connected wirelessly to sync 4 is a bit alarming. This was not an issue on the Skoda which also had carplay. I wasn't even playing music or anything but it drained about 50% of my battery in an hour. Has anyone any tips of settings to change that might reduce the drain. I would like to avoid having to plug the phone in as I will leave it behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chera Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 Guys, if you have a sync4 update, don't do it, it is having a lot of issues(sound disconnection issues, driving modes not available).. Ford Power-Up version 4.2.2 We're about 8-9 behind the American release schedule and this is a shame, really...This update it's problematic and shouldn't be pushed: Full Screen Carplay Update - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flagged this with the sales person and was told it was only on the drivers side. A few days later keyless started working on the passenger side! The car is gaining features now 🤪. Is the steering supposed to be incredibly light? Last time I drove a car with steering this light it was my 2006 Fiat Panda on “city mode”!

Cheers uno. Nice of them to give me a battery that’s half charged (or half flat depending on your outlook 🤪) on a brand new car. Will get it on the charger at some stage with neg connected to chassis ground. It never clicked that it could be battery related but the 40 mile run I took her on must have got the charge up enough.

For me the start stop works but keyless not, but I suppose this is happening because the start stop it's now on the MHEV battery and not on the car battery 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plimp92 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Hi all, New issue. Seems to be since infotainment update. Selected stop start OFF in normal mode. Later wanted sport mode. Tried to select it, and the modes were greyed out. Pressed the greyed out button, and a message popped up in instrument cluster saying drive modes not available. I then re enabled stop start, and selected mode select again. Worked fine. Wierd. Anyone else had this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishFocus-ST-Line Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 so tried to remove my front matts to hoover them yesterday and couldn't remove them, i was in a hurry so didn't spend to much time trying to get them out, in particular the drivers side, i couldn't get the matt released from that we circle tab thing it was stuck to. I didn't want to just yank it off, seem as if the carpet under it would have ripped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to just yank it off, seem as if the carpet under it would have ripped. It does just pull off but they are very tight when new. Best idea is to use two fingers in a V sign under the mat around the central 'post' and pull the outer ring of the mat upwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 As Tom says, I always lift a corner of the mat and support the fixing in the carpet while unclipping the floot mats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigTon Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Encountered a new problem recently. My steering feels like it’s correcting itself despite my lane assist being turned off! I cannot remember hitting any deep potholes or anything and all tyres are in good condition. Just seems weird, can anyone shed any light? I have a 2023 ST Line MHEV estate. This is after the garage having my car for month to fix 6th gear crunching every time you go into it and to replace electric boot sensor as it would not close properly! I like driving the car as it’s good fun but all these little niggly problems are beginning to annoy me now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
