    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...

    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...

    "Download Failed" Message with iPhone

    Hi: Can anyone help my non-computer-savvy brain with this new error message (screen below)? The phone/CarPlay setup worked fine until the automatic recent update to Ford Power-Up 4.2.2.2, SYNC 4 Software Version: 23223_PRODUCT Revision: 969 ( that brought the very nice "1-touch" camera button...

    Software Update for Camera Functionality???

    Partial success! As mentioned above, with the automatic software update (Ford Power-Up 4.2.2.2, SYNC 4 Software Version: 23223_PRODUCT Revision: 969) that showed up automatically this week, there is now a 1 touch camera button (yellow arrow). It would be nice to get the camera system to turn on...

    What does "spider" icon mean?

    Sorry for a dumb question, but what does the "spider" icon (downward pointing yellow arrow) on the console mean? Sometimes it is green, sometimes not. For the life of me I cannot track it down in the manual. Thanks!

    Software Update for Camera Functionality???

    I love our 2023 Timberline, but I wonder if one software upgrade is possible. Our 2015 BMW X5 had nice functionality with the camera: The camera system would automatically turn on at slow forward speeds. In our Ford, when parking (to check painted ground lines to center the truck), one has to...

    Remove Trailer Hitch Cover???

    TBH, the best way for me to get this cover off is to lie on my back under the truck, insert a flat screwdriver blade at the inside edge of the two locking tabs, and pry gently. No combination of pulling/lifting the cover works without this. If anyone knows of a good mechanical engineer who has...

    Remove Trailer Hitch Cover???

    Many thanks to all for commenting! Here's a Ford video describing the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83YuRtOT7_Q For me the key was pushing up on these two tabs (added yellow arrows) before trying the removal: I liked the comment that read: "The Expedition trailer hitch cover was...
