    360 Degree Camera Misalignment

    The camera system in our Ford Timberline 2023 camera does not line up (please see attached picture). I've only had one 360 degree camera before (in a BMW X5), and it never had this issue. We get the feeling that the Ford dealership would rather not address this (when we bring in the truck for...

    Accuracy of Tire Pressure Sensors???

    Hi: We have a big analog tire gauge that I use to check and set tire pressures. Interestingly, the Ford sensors all read 4psi higher than the gauge. Should I assume that the Ford tire sensors are off or my gauge is off? The Ford console says that all 4 tires are at 39 psi, while the analog...

    Charging port cover?

    The (flimsy) cover to the charge port in the rear seat console snapped off. The dealer said that they had to replace the entire face of the console for this $0.25 worth of plastic :( Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions for a cheaper replacement? If not, we will be going coverless...

    What is the optimal oil change interval?

    I grew up in the dark ages when we changed the oil on our family cars like clockwork every 3500 miles. But in this modern era, with synthetic oils and automated oil quality monitoring, what is the best interval? Should we wait until the engine oil monitor says 5-10% oil life remaining, or...

    Do you know if FORScan works on a Mac OS laptop rather than Windows??? Tnx.

    Fixing 360 Degree Camera Alignment

    Perhaps I should invest the time and $$$ in learning how to use FORscan. Thanks for the heads up.

    Fixing 360 Degree Camera Alignment

    Thanks for your input! I think I will ask the dealer to do it the next time the vehicle is in, but now at least I know what to ask: "calibrate the 360 camera system with an IPMA calibration procedure in FORScan". Best wishes.

    Setting CarPlay Volume???

    Thank you 99WhiteC5Coupe and AJ82 for your input! An easy, obvious answer in retrospect, but one that I never would have figured out without your advice. Best wishes.

    Fixing 360 Degree Camera Alignment

    Hi: We have a 2023 Timberline which we love. However, for about a year, I've noticed a "malalignment" when it tries to stitch the images together from the 4 cameras. This is most pronounced when pulling into a parking spot with highly visible lines. The lines on the pavement "jump" and exhibit...

    Setting CarPlay Volume???

    Hi: Probably a very dumb question, but here goes: The CarPlay audio volume when I am running Google Maps is too loud- I feel like I'm being shouted at with the turn-by-turn directions :) How do I turn this volume down? I've tried both the System/Ford audio volume knob, and the volume setting...

    Removing Unwanted Application Tiles from the “iPad” Screen

    Hi: I think I saw how to do this when I read the manual cover-to-cover a year ago, but now I cannot seem to find it. How do I remove an unwanted application tile from the options screen? Specifically, what is this “Sketch” application and how do I remove it? I’ve never used it and I never...
