I think it's safe to say that the double chime is from navigation alerts even when I'm not using the Ford Sync maps. Over the past couple of weeks, everytime I hear the double-chime, I jump over to Sync maps and there is some sort of traffic alert on the screen.
Interesting. I get the double chime while sitting in my driveway, no navigation routes plugged in. Next time I hear it I'll switch over to the Ford Navigation to see if there is an alert.

Yeah, switch over and see. My will double-chime and there is no navigation route planned but there is some kind of traffic on the road I'm on.

Mine was doing the same thing. Then I turned off suggested locations and hallelujah it stopped.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to see if anyone else has heard this on their trucks. Sometimes when Iā€™m driving around, Iā€™ll get the double chime sound for seemingly no reason. Itā€™s smart enough to lower my music volume but nothing pops up on the dash or screen.

It happened yesterday. I left my house, drove for about 5 minutes and then while cruising alongā€¦ *ding* *ding*

I was at 91% SOC, sport mode, cruising around 35mph.

It doesnā€™t happen everyday and seems to be random. Iā€™ll try to get a video of the interior when it happens.
Speed limit warning. When it happens look down, you should see the white speed limit sign blinking

I don't think so. It's happened to me while stopped and in my driveway. I think it's the navigation alerts from the Sync maps. It will alert you of traffic conditions even if you don't have a route planned.

Are you in a relatively dense area? Iā€™ve had it happen in a parking lot at startup before I started moving. When I looked down sure enough it was flashing and displayed 5mph.

My navigation disconnects because I always have Waze up via CarPlay. When that happens it goes to Waze in all the displays and disconnects from Fords nav.

I get it too my PRO, just randomly chimes (usually within 30sec or a min from start)and I look over and nothing. so Iv'e been keeping an eye on it and now I notice that the nav is trying to connect and when it does I get the chime. pretty consistent now that I know what to look for.
