What I d What I dId not realize is that the Ford Connectivity Program and the AT&T Hotspot are 2 separate and distinct programs. Now that I realize that, I still don't understand how my previous phone worked with Waze on Android Auto wirelessly despite not having my phone mobile data on and not...

Yes I loaded the app on the Motorola phone and logged into it to make sure it worked. On the truck I verified that my Ford Connectivity program was active through May of 2026

Alrighty thanks, guess that confirms the Ford Connectivity package does not really connect. Not sure then what it does provide. If I am not mistaken I believe the Ford Rep indicated the "Ok Ford"and " Alexa" apps could still be used without it once it expires in May 2026. Anyway not sure then...

Android Auto wireless question here. At present I am about 7 months into the 1yr complimentary Premium Connectivity program and on the screen it indicates it is active until May 2026. Prior to Dec 5 I had a Samsung phone which brought up Android Auto once I got into the vehicle. It used Waze...

Seems like wherever I park somebody always manages to park next to me. My concern here is people backing into a parking space and not stopping until they hit something. Happened 3 times with my run around car, a Kia Soul. Trying to be a bit more proactive with the Maverick before it gets "Initiated"

I am looking for a little front bumper protection primarily to prevent damage from parking lot mishaps. I came across these items and was wondering if anybody has used them for this purpose. The license plate surround is rubber and indicates 2.3" at its thickest points. The mini bull bar is...

Thanks. Great pic and thanks for your effort! From where I was sitting I could not see it and expected the prong to be on the outside of the frame. I confirmed it is definitely there and will try again tomorrow. The hole on the dampener on that side actually seems a bit smaller in diameter than...

Thanks. I just went out and rechecked and it turns out I have that prong tip where you are pointing. I just could not see it from where I was sitting and was expecting to see something on the outside.

I have read several places that the $15 dampeners sold on Amazon for the Toyota will work on the Maverick . So I purchased one. I have a 2025 XLT Hybrid FWD and attempted to install it. Has anyone done this? I easily dropped the glovebox and saw the connect point on the glove box but could not...

Thanks, I appreciate it! Your lights look real good. I bought lever blocks by on Amazon by a place I think was called Hvelle or something like that. Supposedly they were good down to 28 awg but the hole looked pretty big. I tried unsuccessfully popping out the driver side light from the outside...

Thank, I will give that a shot. I did notice a lot of cloth tape on the truck from the factory. I never realized it is the preferred method. I never considered the heat and the adhesive melting. I just ordered some. I'm glad that little wire to wire experiment worked otherwise it would be more...

Thanks, I thought the link indicated it came with a fuse....but there was not one. Anyway I endwd up cutting the shrink tubing off and pulling the wires out of the splice block. Stripped a little more insulation off and just twisted the wires together to see if it would work.....and it did...

Hello, I saw finally was doing well enough to install the dynamic scan led lights under the hood. Turns out that fuse tap I had must have been different than what you had as it would not fit. I opted to buy a harness and tie into the front side lights as the guy from Redneck Garage did. I could...

I have been planning on a 2 or 3 row LED lighbar that mounts under the tailgate to increase visibility. Brand is not important but i have come across a good selection by OPT7 such as the one in the link...

Not sure what you mean. I usually just type my response in where it says something like Write Your Reply, then hit Post Reply
