They're different ones unfortunately. I thought the same but the ones off the RTR trim have the separate beauty ring unlike the ones on their site right now.
I've found you can force it by plugging in the phone and then going to Settings -> Phone List on the SYNC screen and then tap the CarPlay logo once to disconnect and then once to reconnect. Usually if it's plugged in it'll grab it over the wire, and you can tell if it's wireless or not based on...
I've got a Rocky Talkie 5 watt Expedition Radio (which I bought for skiing but it also supports GMRS and can be attached to an external antenna if needed).
It's worked well so far!
I have Starlink Mini mounted in the back of mine with a switched power lead to the 12v socket in the rear. Process for connecting the phone to Starlink while also having CarPlay is to plug the cable in before you start the vehicle and then connect to Starlink once it boots. If CarPlay shows the...
I will say I had success once I called and only gave the part number, last six of 25 VIN for verification, and mileage but no context around what I was trying to do. I think the more information you hold back the easier it is
I would just take it back to the dealer for service. My bet is some camera or sensor isn't aligned perfectly. Not worth the aggravation on a brand new vehicle when they can fix it in an afternoon
Killer feature to have the dish installed inside. Did the mount from Swarfworks and it's wired into a switched 12v plug for the rear cigarette lighter. Excuse the bad cable management, it's since been cleaned up. It's also hidden above the recovery boards (second photo)
I added the Ford Performance (or I guess Ford Racing now? idk) ones at about 20k miles. Up to 45k now and there's always an ounce or so of oil in them when I clean them every 5k miles. Agree that it's never too late!
The parts department I ordered mine though asked for my mileage when I ordered it and when the cluster arrived it had that exact mileage applied. There was a little bit of programming so it’s not 100% drop in but that only took about five minutes
For the record you don’t need similar mileage. You just need the same powertrain, transmission, and options package. I’ve done the swap and it was pretty simple!
