Truck ignition sequence
Very much a first world problem but still.
EVERY time I get in the truck
- Re-activate cruise control
- Re-activate current gear display(also after putting in park with engine running)
- 50% activate bluetooth audio
Not a big problem. One button press for cruise control, one button press for gear display. Gear display is really just for fun.
Bluetooth audio was connecting 90% of the time with my iphone 4s. Now it's down to about 50% with the 5s. Seems like it would be easy for Ford's QA to detect that problem and fix it. My guess is that they wanted the radio to wait a very small time for that people using USB or line in would get music ASAP. Since the SD target market is not very full of people using bluetooth audio I guess that's what I have to live with. Also why the long voice message? Can't I just press the button and speak immediately?
Maybe it's just me. Maybe nobody else uses cruise control or wants to see the gear they are in. Very probably few people use bluetooth audio. Still seems like you should do it right if you are going to put those things in.
Apart from that. Love the truck.
