Lol throwing shade at Ford for build quality while praising Tesla is kinda funny. Just check out https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/top/?t=all and check out the top posts and you'll see just how abysmal the build quality is on these cars. Tesla was quick to the game being the first major EV...

Yeah, that makes sense. Either way, I'm not going to hold my breath. I have the lowest priority code at my dealer and there's 7 other EB's that are most likely ahead of me.

Do we know if they're gonna schedule again next week? I feel like if they decided to schedule an entire month in one day they're not going to worry about scheduling more until at least a couple weeks to another month.

Whelp. Didn't get the email, checked with Ford chat and all they could tell me is I'm currently in order processing. Priority code is 19 at my dealer, so I'm sure that's hurting my chances as well.

Yeah the only reason I'd want the 360 would be for the backup sensors, the blind spot detection isn't really that important for me as I always make sure to properly aim my mirrors. The block heater in your case makes sense given how far up north you are, if I were in one of those northern states...

Damn near close! I didn't get 360 as I heard that was a major constraint for last year and they were expecting it to be a constraint again for the MY23 year, also didn't get the block heater as here in VA it doesn't get nearly cold enough to necessitate one. Still, here's hoping we get scheduled...

Guarantee it's coincidence. I have a nearly fully loaded XLT on order (Lux, 4k tow, FX4) and so far I haven't been scheduled. I'm expecting not to be scheduled any time soon, but I made sure to drop the bed liner and the remote start to hopefully improve my chances of getting the truck sooner...

As a professional car audio technician, I highly agree. That's why I'm going to be changing out the radio as soon as they make a dash kit and firmware for the Maverick. I already know Metra is planning on making a dash kit within the next year or so.

Thanks to a good living situation I'm in and being smart with money, I'm hoping to pay 2/3 of my Maverick as a down payment and take a loan out on the remaining 1/3. So I'm planning on taking the Mav regardless of interest, suffer the high interest if there is and wait a couple months, then try...

Hi OP! I'm a professional technician who installs amplifiers like these for a living. I'll do my best to help out. I noticed you mentioned you have a Kicker 500.1, I'm guessing that's the Key500.1? Regardless, Kicker's DC Offset feature (what you know as auto-turn on) is reliable and what I...

True, but based on what I've seen in AllData it's just a normal relay. I'll have to double check when I'm back in but at least according to the electrical diagram it's just a standard SPST relay. Still, it's not like doing this will hurt the vehicle, just may kill the battery or cause the relay...

One thing to keep note of here is that this is a switched power source we're dealing with, that means it's using a relay. A standard single-pole double throw (SPDT) or even a single-pole single throw (SPST) relay utilize about 150mA of current to stay actuated. If you're turning this setting...

Yeah, this is normal for a very large majority of cars nowadays, especially hybrids. Cars nowadays have a lot of sensors and diagnostics they run through whenever you shut off the vehicle. I'm a 12v technician who works with vehicle electronics for a living and I've heard countless vehicles...

Yeah, the TPMS sensors will need to be synced/programmed to the vehicle whenever you add new ones. And yes, that is the torque value. If you got a cheap lock nut/nut key than that would potentially have some play. But no matter what it's going to feel a bit different on the lock nut as you...

Yeah those lever-style harnesses trip some technicians up sometimes. One of my trainees who installed a remote start on a Hyundai had it come back with a complaint that there were multiple lights on the dash and that the fuel gauge was inoperable. Turns out he did the exact same thing here in...

Yeah don't go to the rear speakers. Most OEMs nowadays have crossovers (audio filters) set for the rear speakers to filter out the bass that will work pretty poorly for a sub. There may be some signal there that would work, but it wouldn't be the loudest. Especially with the rear speakers...

Jesus, this is getting insane.

First truck and first Ford for me. I've never been a Ford guy, in fact I've always disliked working on them/doing installs on the majority of them. But I had a Maverick come in for a remote starter back in May and I ended up falling in love with the little truck. Even moreso when I found out how...

It depends on the parking mode settings you use. The Thinkware I installed in my mom's car as well as my own I have it set to energy saving, which means the camera records at like 6fps and only records in the event of an incident (someone hitting the vehicle), it'll save 10 seconds before the...

Then that's all that matters! Rexing's video quality is pretty decent if all you're looking for is just a camera that records when the vehicle is on, so you'll be fine. I always point out the parking mode thing just in case clients want that specific feature.
