Ok... authorisa calls for either a Master Reset or a FordPass Connect Reset. Neither of these, when executed, result in an authorisation message on the infotainment screen. As the photo shows, the modem is active, but as previously known, there is no connection to the cell network (it needs an...
Yup, wi-fi all set up and has been reporting stats to Ford since I got it home in November 🤷♂️. I'd still like to see if they're saying anything different from that message. Last time I tried to activate was, I admit, months ago and no dice. I'll give it another go shortly. Javier already has...
"To receive new updates as soon as possible, check these Wi-Fi settings to activate immediate downloads via Wi-Fi."
Would some kind person put these up as I can't activate my KR using fordpass (long story but no TCU connectivity)? Curious to see if OTAs can actually be done without cellular...
'23 KR in Star White here. My guess is either Oxford white or base coat white in hidden areas. The photos are using the same distance and angle of light of the fender and the internal fender lip; you can see star white overspray from the metallic coat on the hidden areas, which I think is great...
Status Report:
OK, so when changing this valu, in addition to key off/on cycle AND APIM reboot (FORScan), I found that I had to wait for complete power down (rear USB courtesy lights off) before I could key on and be assured that a change would stick 🙄; otherwise it looked like the change made...
Ford Australia have a few thousand XLTs and Lariats allocated to them; they bring the in and use RMA for the conversion. RMA have been doing it for about a year or two.
I chose a long-time dealer called Harrison F-Truck to get my KR imported and converted by the company they use, Vehicle...
Nope, Aussie Maps need to be loaded from initial files, USB or OTA... I can do without because the nice lady in Google maps tells me where to get off 🤣
Complete functionality in these areas; they did add custom Power Running Board modules and a LIN interface for them, so as not to confuse the...
Sweet FA 🤣... when I use Google maps on CarPlay though, it has direction from the phone gps... I just hate it if the dash doesn't agree with it 🤣
The first doc that Buyer2021 gave me seems to say that the APIM display of gps info comes (for the 12" APIM) directly from the gps/satnav split...
Thanks @Buyer2021 , and thanks for the Diag info second file 🙂.
Having reverted each APIM edit one at a time and FORScan-rebooting the APIM each time, I am now chasing my tail because it's not gone bad as I expected it to. The APIM must have latched to no GPS at some past time 🤷♂️. I'm going to...
Thank you very much @Buyer2021, re-enabling SDARS and/or SiriusXM and a APIM reboot in FORScan brought my compass back. Seems that disabling it will disable the GPS from using the aerial or blocking the APIM from receiving the signal 🤷♂️. I will lock down exactly what change does it, then...
@Buyer2021, thank you very much for this, it's excellent operational info 🙂. The following (for future peoples' reference should the issue be solved) is particularly useful:
"...The satellite antenna sends satellite radio and GPS data through the satellite radio cable to a splitter (integrated...
Disclaimer: I have not tried this as I'm happy with fresh air mostly 🤣. My best guess is that the Cabin Air Refresh strategy is governing how long on recirc before opening up to fresh air. See if yours is enabled and, after a backup or notes written to back out the change try disabling it:
There's just one annoying thing that upsets my OCD: whenever I glance at my dash, my compass indicator is stuck on "N" (north) no matter the direction I'm headed. As can be seen in the photo, GPS is disabled on my truck; I'll never have TCU connectivity (previously confirmed) so I wonder if...
@KTM753, Never would my friend; I never know when I'll need help and paying it forward is what these forums have that other online places often lack 👍
interestingly I will never get OTAs (long story) so I rely on FDRS for updates... this CSP has disappeared from my list so one of two things...
Yep, 10.1L/100km (~ 24mpg) doing 100kph (~60mph) for hours on country roads. These trucks, even though they are rolling bricks, have been "wind-optimised" for sure. I added a retrax roller cover and some Yakima towers and crossbars; now I can't get it below 12s (~19-ish mpg)🤣
