    How to disable audio on start up

    I've since realized I was thinking of my other vehicle - an Audi - which my wife now mostly drives. It has a volume reset feature on start up so you aren't assaulted at 100 decibels because the previous driver was moshing when they ended their drive.

    How to disable audio on start up

    The trick I'm using now is to set it to Sirius, and then choose channel 0 - the radio ID channel where it shows your radio serial number. It has no audio.

    Sudden battery death?

    Thanks. I assume this is done right after the new battery is installed?

    removing CCD

    It's called "Magneride". A GM innovation, that Ford uses in some vehicles, but not the Expedition CCD by the looks of it. The dampers are filled with magnetorheological fluid, a mixture of easily magnetized iron particles in a synthetic hydrocarbon oil. In each of the monotube dampers is a...

    Sudden battery death?

    It's been mentioned several times in this thread, and I've searched unsuccessfully in the gen 4 forum, but... What is battery pairing, why do you do it, and how?

    Engine & Transmission Additives

    But sometimes people come and ask things like "did you ever figure this one out? I'm having the same issue" which gives the OP an opportunity to come back and help that person with their findings.

    Has anyone seen or made a storage tray for this colossal waste of prime space? Also, Forscan the best way to disable auto stop start still?

    Anyone who's pulled that centre console out knows that under that space you're wishing you could add more storage to, is the cupholder door/cover mechanism. It protrudes over from the cupholders some 2+ inches towards the shifter dial. The F150 photos you shared do not have covers/doors for...

    Front camera

    https://www.dieself150forum.com/threads/obd-code-b148e-front-camera.2116/ Similar issue, dealership found water intrusion in the camera connector, and a connector pin on the camera had rusted off, and so they replaced it.

    Coolant tank cap

    The cap is just supposed to screw off. If it's not, the inner and outer parts of the cap have separated and broken. Get yourself a new one first. Observe it's geometry. Then when you have that, put a deck screw through the old cap using your observations from the new one, to lock the inner...

    Cupholder fell through console! Weird!!!

    Can anyone confirm if this solved the rattle that comes from the cupholders when a bottle or travel mug is in there? For me, if I angle the mug so it's not perfectly straight up, the rattle stops. Also, if I push on the tension tabs on the other cupholder, the rattle sometimes stops. I took...

    Sunroof glass

    I don't know how it works in the states, but in Canada this isn't true. Most comprehensive policies have an exclusion for glass. Want glass coverage? It's a rider on your comprehensive policy, with its own premium increase. Knowing how expensive the glass is I took the glass coverage. And...

    Sun roof rattle, yes again

    So rhythmic... sounds like my old dorm bed ;) Have you had someone else drive whilst you climb around the back trying figure out where the two little mice are humping?

    Hardwire Radar Detector 2024 Expedition

    It does, but the expedition goes into power conserve mode still, where it shuts off some systems like Ford Pass, remote start, proximity unlock etc. It would take about 2 weeks to do that. There’s different selectable voltage settings in the camera that you can choose for low voltage...

    Hardwire Radar Detector 2024 Expedition

    Sure is. It's pretty decent. No screen, so you connect with an app on your phone to get a live view, or pull down footage. The memory card is also removable so you can browse it from your computer. I had to turn off the parked recordings as it was draining the battery too much. Running the...

    Hardwire Radar Detector 2024 Expedition

    I found it was easy to run the cable up through this plastic (by sliding it under the side), along the sun visor (tucking it into the headliner), down the A pillar (easy removal - but be careful as there's an airbag in there), and down to the fuse panel by your left knee. Took about 30 minutes...

    2023 - Battery dies quickly while camping

    Where is the inconvenience? If it was me, I'd have this permanently wired in on the Output side to the battery. I'd then run a wire from the Input side to an open connector, and mount it in an easily accessible (but hidden) location - maybe somewhere under the front bumper skirt. Then I'd...

    Black trim between front and rear doors.

    If it's not covered on warranty, the part is about $70 at Tasca. I don't have the shop manual handy to check how hard it is to replace.

    How to disable audio on start up

    If you look at jjscsix post, it was happening to them and they never used CarPlay. Anyway - for now I found a workaround. I disconnected CarPlay, set the radio to XFM (we don't subscribe to that garbage so all the stations are silent), and restarted. Now when the car starts, it's silent and...

    2023 - Battery dies quickly while camping

    Get two new identical batteries and wire them in parrelel. Same voltage, double the capacity. Although where you'd mount the second one under the hood would be interesting. <Note: This is only a semi-serious response>

    How to disable audio on start up

    With a 2023, you have a very different head unit - yours is Sync 4, versus the 2020s with Sync 3. I would be surprised if they behaved exactly alike or had all the same settings. In the Sync 3, volume defaults to a set number on start up regardless of the volume you left it at last time...

    How to disable audio on start up

    I'll check for updates later and see if I'm missing something. Incidentally, I added a wireless Carplay adapter a while ago which connects my phone pretty much instantly, and it still does it with that too - definitely not a purely Carplay or delay starting thing.

    Headlight dim?

    2021 XLT only came with halogens. No option to upgrade. Change the bulb.
