Don MC Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I don't want to turn off the chime for upcoming turns. Besides, this chime isn't for upcoming turns because navigation isn't even on when I start the car. This chime is for something else and it doesn't even do it every time I start up. Still it annoys me. EDIT: Sync 4 for me. And it also announces upcoming turns in the instrument cluster, so the built-in navigation works well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep the chime on too. Maybe next software update will sort it. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plimp92 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Hi Don. I've had that ding ding on startup since picking up the car in Dec 22. Never worked out what it is. No message accompanying it etc. So I don't think it's "in" your latest software update, rather the update has reset a setting to enable the already existing ding. Would be good to hear what it is if you find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don MC Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 All my settings appear to be unchanged after the update. Even the radio stations are as they were before. I disabled some notifications in the map app. None of the descriptions for the notifications matched my problem and I have never been in a situation where those would notify me anyway, but I don't need notifications for things such as watching my fuel range or passing over borders. I can read my fuel gauge and I know which country I'm driving in. Let's see if any of those helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chera Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 I received today the AA/Carplay fullscreen update, seems to be fine. What's really weird it's that the software has been downgraded from 23096 to 23095... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ding-dings for a few days now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found on the Seven speed auto petrol, when i depress the button and slide into (L) low gear the button doesn't release and stays in. Also I know the low selection holds the gears longer but I'm hitting 4 to 5 thousand revs just to do 30mph. Is this normal behaviour for low gear selection? Duke, "Low Gear" is used for towing, or going up steep hills. it keeps the power high and the speed low, it's not for normal driving, it's no wonder you're not getting the speed you want. it's not for just driving about, the "D" is for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPickle Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Has anybody got a digital odo display on the new Fords that flickers? I am having issues with the display flickering, mainly on eco mode screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a special anti-Geata device intended to discourage owners from becoming overly green 🤣 If it is a problem then on a 2022 model I'd simply return it to a Ford dealer and ask them to fix the issue as it's not something you are likely to be able to fix yourself.

Plimp92 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Hi Mr Pickle. I can confirm this is a (slight) issue, and its common. My focus does it very occasionally, and my partners Puma does also. It only happens very rarely, and seems worse on eco mode, but it's still there but not as visible on the others. I did a Google when I first saw it, and others had gone back to the dealer with the issue. Not sure how they got on. For me, it's very rare, so I accept it as a quirk of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don MC Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Car went in for a repair attempt on the TCU unit (emegency call fault message). Came back withe everything reset to factory defaults. Had to seek all the radio channels etc. The Sync4 software version stayed the same (23095 rev. 807), but at least one menu item has vanished: The possibility to set a speed tolerance for the automatic speed sign recognition and overspeed warning (it is now permanently set at +5km/h). This also affects the "intelligent" speed limiter, which is set at +5km/h by default. Also gone is the possibility to permanently disable said speed sign recognition. It is now possible to disable only for the ongoing dive, it will be re-enabled at next start-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don MC Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Not ideal, no. And the TCU still isn't fixed. They say it's a software issue that must be fixed by the factory. It's going in again in a couple of weeks. They say they will have to remove the TCU unit and do something to it. Not getting my hopes up that will fix my speed tolerance setting gone missing.

eand12 Posted Monday at 10:10 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:10 PM I have been having issues with the battery, displaying on the app as constantly "Remote features preserved to save battery". Voltage wise batter looked to be idling around 14.3V. One for dealer to look at as per some of the other posts? Also Whats the service scedule for the Mk4.5 1.0 MHEV? Seen conflicting infromation - ford suggests 1 year/ 12.5 and dealer suggested 2 year /18.5k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing always at 2 years/30k km(in my case around 18-20k) because I think it's the best option, but it depends also on your driving behaviour, if you're driving a lot in town, long roads, highways and so on.

Otherwise it's two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
