    Thanks from Canada, my recent contact with ford sales guy was that he was uninformed and bit lazy, I have been in sales and product development for many years and tried to politely explain to him that educating himself would reap great rewards, and that product knowledge is crucial. He brushed me off saying these trucks sell themselves and he didn’t need to know about anything except pricing and financing.
    Walked away and found a great guy at another dealership.

    Mitchell, thank you for that. I have done multiple searches and watched 50 videos on the Sync 4 system. Combine all of them and they don’t add up to half of the information you’ve given in this one. Can’t wait for your Bronco videos.

    watching this in august 2023... my brother just had an f-150 built and delivered. I sent him this video to help him a little - he''s got some stuff set up, but is having issues with the display when he used android auto. Says once he starts rolling the actual map shrinks to a small sliver top of the screen... it maybe be an android issue, but there may be something here to help. I have not seen his new truck, but at least now I can see a little of what he's up against. thank you for post this, you did a nice job. now tell people to stop texting you at work (LOL)

The dealership removed the Sirius radio and I am fighting them to have it put back in the vehicle. Your video is a big help in getting to know my new truck. Thanks.

    @johnrickard2020 3 года назад +8

    Mitchell, one reason I like using Ford's built in NAV is during long road trips, you can set up a custom route the day before, save it, load it. Then next day get in and drive your entire route, even if it takes a couple days it stays loaded. Using car play, every time you get out, you have to activate it again. But, I admit Car Play does at times work better. I compare route selection between the two, sometimes they take completely different routes.

  • @AV8R_1
    @AV8R_1 3 года назад +1

    I bought a 2021 F150 lariat 7.2kw hybrid FX4 Sport 302A a week ago. (NOT from T&C.) I put about 600 miles on it so far and have already experienced a bunch of weird anomalies with the hardware and software, as well as the 12 inch display having a line of dead pixels. Which the dealer has agreed to replace, but, So far, in only one week, here’s what I’ve run into.
    - [ ] Lane keep assist turns on and off at random. Sometimes even when parked at idle.
    - [ ] Lane keeping aid steering wheel vibration alerts BEFORE going over center line when cruise control is on or fully off, but only alerts when over the center line by 2-3 feet when Cruise control is in standby (on but not actively engaged)
    - [ ] Lane keep active steering assist works well while using cruise control, but sometimes fails to keep the truck in lane when going through intersections, allowing the truck to cross over into the oncoming lane.
    - [ ] When welcome lighting is turned on manually using the button in the cab, it does not turn off when vehicle is turned off. Even when headlights are set to auto, which allows all other exterior lighting to turn off when the vehicle is shut down. The welcome lighting will stay on indefinitely unless you power the vehicle back on manually push the button to turn off the welcome lighting and then power the vehicle off again.
    - [ ] Navigation map orientation settings (3D heading up) does not persist after truck is shut off.
    - [ ] Rain sensing windshield wipers sometimes come on for no reason.
    - [ ] Sync 4 does not always fully connect with phone wirelessly. Some features work while others don’t. For example the map will show on the screen for Waze, but you cannot interact with it in anyway, the audio screen will show that music is playing when it isn’t and turn the power on off Or adjusting volume does not change anything. Bluetooth settings on the phone will say it’s not connected while certain features of wireless sync are obviously connected.
    - [ ] Occasionally main screen display does not come on. It stays black. Putting the truck in reverse results in the back up camera and 360 camera is displaying on the screen, but when you put the vehicle in drive again the screen will again go fully black. Pressing any of the hard keys for settings etc. does not bring anything onto the screen.

Was out for several days, showed me in northern Nevada while driving to Vegas on I-15. Luckily, I had my Garmin in the truck with me. , another time, it showed a "failed antenna ". Have had a couple failures where I could not control radio, orswith to I-pod, lost volume control, and it stayed ON while my wife & I were running errands. Definitely will bring these issues up, when I take it in for 1st factory recommended service at 5000 miles

    I find it hilarious that a Ford dealer rep agrees with most all of Ford customers in that there is little demand for the Ford apps and navigation. The operation is noticeably bad when compared to even the most simple phone. I've been amazed for many years that R&D time has been wasted by all manufacturers on native stuff infotainment systems such as this while the popularity of the just having the ability to "extend" the use of each person's phone has clearly been the preference of the customers.

    Hi - Thanks for the tutorial. I have an elderly friend who wants to install an external CD player in his 22 F-150 XLT, which has Sync 4. His external CD player uses a single USB cable, which serves to supply power and as audio output. He's not interested in converting his CDs. He simply wants to be able to play CDs through Sync-4 using his external CD drive. If this is possible, could you briefly explain how to configure and use Sync-4 to play an external CD player with USB cord? Thanks for your reply.

    Love your videos and the information you share with us. Wish I was a bit closer to come shop with you but quite a ways from NC sadly. Question/suggestion for those of us that are totally confused by the new trailer sensor/sticker on our 2021 F150s (Maybe just me) could you possibly give us an updated video on how to setup the new system? I thought I'd use the stickers but the guide says that I need a software update before the stickers can be used (and Ford seems to have no idea what I'm talking about when I ask). Also seen some confusion online if the sensor is used on a conventional or gooseneck trailer (or both). Thank you.

    2023 Ford F250 XLT with Sync 4. My Sync 4 does not have satellite option except when paired with my phone. I didn't realize that until after I purchased the vehicle. I did the research and understood that Sync 4 had Satellite radio but I was mistaken. My previous vehicle was a 2017 Chevy Silverado LT and it didn't have much, but it did have a satellite radio. I Love my F250 and glad I bought it but this was a disappointment. I wish I could add Satellite since it appears the antenna is there in the puck?
