well that is disappointing.

I know. I really felt like we may get it this year after the MY22.5 update.

The crickets continue to chirp!

I'm not sure which thread I posted this on last, but it won't be coming in 22 after all. For those who want something but are debating the options, I'd keep an eye on this thread: Off Road App.

With vehicle being more connected than ever Ford should have really planned on making a larger department for software and features. This is where Tesla shines as if they see a problem in their software it gets fixed ASAP whereas it will take Ford months. This app should have been out by now and it's disappointing as we have these nice screens and nothing on them.

🤣 How’s that Phantom Braking fix coming along?

I wonder what the software reports after a thermal runaway from water getting into the batteries after the hurricane?

Hopefully we get some news for FordPass performance in early 2023. Getting eager to have a central place for my trail maps. Lately I’ve been using multiple apps depending on which trails I’m using

How can I load ONX maps onto my Bronco screen?

Make sure you remember to download your offline maps before you leave. Don’t ask how I know! 😎

I recently purchased a 2023 Bronco Sport Badlands edition.

I am mostly happy with the car as it meets both our on and off-road needs.

However - the infotainment system is substandard.

Why does the FordPass/Android Auto setup need a usb connection for google maps? This seems to be at least 20 years behind the times.

Second annoyance:

Why is a big portion of the smallish map screen covered by a useless search box?

Plugging in to the usb connection makes my phone less useful and cuts out some of the ability to do voice commands in the Bronco (eg changing radio stations).

It would be nice to have the map functionality come via bluetooth connection so that when I might have need of maps they are always there for me and that the other voice command functions in the Bronco are not disrupted.

Is this a google/android issue or is it a Ford issue? I am using a either a Pixel 5 or 6 with native Android.

Might be an Android thing. My iOS connects via BT and Apple CarPlay works fine as well as all voice commands, yadda, yadda. It all works for me when it's plugged in too.

Good luck,

IPhone here… and it works great

I am a low tech man in a high tech world.......ugh!
