Anybody else having problems with MFM 6-6-2014
Ekpsych replied to frbill's topic in Audio, Navigation & SYNC
I have not been able to get mfm working since 6/20/14. Tried reset routine as advised by ford tech support 4 times and no joy. Tried pulling fuse routine (are the ford designers out of their minds with the fuse box placement?) And still no joy. What's next? -
I have finally discovered the method for using the fan for venting outside air without running the air conditioning. This method allows you to use the vent fan without cutting into your HVB range and without using energy on the energy use bar display. Turn on climate Set temp to 60 (or cold) Turn off "auto" Turn off "air conditioning" Use manual control for fan speed Use manual control on screen for vent selection Do NOT select defrost vent ( if you do you will activate the compressor). And that should do it. Try it. You'll love it. I think once it's done it will stay that way and you can turn on air conditioning or turn it off as desired. When air conditioning is on you will notice an immediate drop in range. Let me know how it works for you. :happy feet: :clapping: :hi5: :jump_earth:

Two new points? My car was built on Feb 15, 2013. Thanks for the website!! My go time function does NOT work. Fan works on low but there is NO change in temp. Charge is noticeably reduced during this operation. I am using the 120 volt charger that came with the car. Perhaps the go time function does not get enough juice from the 120 volt unit to power up the heater?? Am I correct that the heater operation works by using an electric pump to circulate coolant through an electric heater coil and then to a heater core which has an electric fan blowing either outside or recirc inside air over it to the passenger compartment.? When the ICE runs and heats up the computer shunts the coolant from the electric heater coil to the engine block for engine cooling and heater operation?

Can someone explain exactly how the heating system works. Electric only? Electric + ICE? Most efficient method for heating cabin when starting out with a cold and fully charged battery?
-
I just got the latest software update and my go times are still inop. The charger kicks on but nothing happens in the car.
-
I have exactly the same experience. I think thete is a software update due and that might solve the problem? Is there a contact at Ford to call?
-
Set the go times remotely with MFM as well as in the car. No problem with getting them entered in the car. HOWEVER, they never activated. I left the car in the environmental control "on" state before shutting down. Remote start works fine. Will the MFM update fix this problem?
-
All MGM functions are perfect except for go times. I will try setting it up in the car and report back.
-
I have been setting go times with no problem. Only problem is that the car never seems to respond. I have excellent cell connectivity so that's not the problem. I love the concept and would love for it to work. It's getting cold here in New York. The heater sucks lots of juice out of my battery, like 6 miles. I would love to know the exact sequence of how it is supposed to work.
-
Well, now it is heating season. Has anyone thought through the most efficient settings for heating the car in ev mode? The heater sucks at least 6 to 7 miles off the range as soon as it is engaged and reduces my mpge significantly.

No. It's a bug.

I upgraded my ipad mini and now unable to access MY FORD MOBILE. After I select the website the ipad gets as far as the ford logo and then goes blank. I have tried uninstalling the application, turning off the ipad, turning back on and then reinstall the app and get the same result. Any other ipad users having the same issue?

But it IS WORKING perfectly on my samsung s4 droid.

It is not working on my ipad since I did the Apple iOS upgrade ??

Issue with climate control.. 72 vs 73 degrees
Ekpsych replied to TechOps's topic in Lounge - Fusion Energi
Is there any way to run the climate control to bring in fresh air from outside without running the heater or compressor?
