I can see why this is a safety feature when you have BC that drops out of "Hands Free" mode from time to time, but it's just pure annoyance if your Lightning doesn't have BC. Also, the audible ping every time it drops lane centering (usually when you're passing an exit) is also annoying. I...

Easiest solution is to connect your portable generator frame/ground to the neutral lead at the generator output receptacle. This doesn't meet code, but is how it was done for years before GFCIs were available.

So if I purchase a 2 day subscription for $120 at my house and on the laptop I use for FDRS updates, I shouldn't have an issue updating both my Lighting and my MME as long as I use FDRS to connect to each vehicle after plugging into the port with my VCMII? Don't try to look up any VINs...

Not sure how long Ford, GM, and Stellantis will last once the Chinese cars take over the rest of the world. This guy doesn't think it will be long. Tesla seems to be doing very well financially at this point.

So Ford FDRS is bumping your computer IP location against that being reported by your vehicle and suspending your account if they aren't close? I know my internet IP location doesn't match my house location because I use Verizon Home Internet, but it's usually within 100 miles. Hopefully this...

This update just finished installing, 25.12.0. Didn't notice any difference with function of windows.

I use this power supply for updates to both my MME and Lightning with no issues. Under heavy load the output voltage drops so I monitor and adjust voltage during the programming process. I use a DMM to double check the output voltage instead of just relying on the power supply meter. Little...

Thank you. That's equivalent to the VCM 2 and the Mongoose. A VCM 3 takes less than an hour. I don't close the Lightning or the MME door when updating.

Was the IPMA one of the modules you updated? If so, do you remember how long it took? More than 1 1/2 hour or less? Just wondering if the TOPDON is equivalent to a VCM 2 or a VCM 3.

You can't just replace your 10-30 outlet with an EV rated 15-50 outlet, Hubbell, Bryant, or Levitron because they won't fit into a single gang box. Box will need to be a deep or oversized 2-gang box. Isn't Ford now offering free charger installs? If not, maybe can buy a charger at a...

Hi Tony, Just saw this. I live in Silverdale WA. I use this which is much cheaper than the mongoose.

You can enable Silent Mode with FORScan.

Did ECG-24.2.5.7 result in the release of more module updates?
