It will account for wind, going up a hill, going over a rock, pulling a trailer, etc. The only thing it doesn't account for is slips in the torque converter (clutch for those manual users) or traction losses. The calculator is basically assuming that the engine is connected directly to the...
The answer to this question is 4.88. But to be frank, I don't think the cost to upgrade is worth it unless you go to 5.13.
I have a Bronco RPM calculator you're welcome to play around with.
It's all normal.
There is a battery management system on the Bronco that keeps track of the health of the battery. If that system detects the battery level is too low, or if your accessory power draw is too high, it will prevent Auto Start/Stop from activating.
I mean... honestly... pretty par for the course. Some of the largest and most profitable software companies in the country do exactly the same thing.
(As someone who works in technology, I agree with you—drives me bonkers. It's like the entire software industry forgot what release notes were.)
It's just accessory mode.
The keypad program is used on a variety of vehicles. Position II is for vehicles that still have a physical key for the ignition. But on Bronco it's just accessory mode.
Yeah it won’t show any active subscriptions on the Motorcraft website—that’s normal.
Did you have to type in the license key you got from Helm into FDRS??
Believe it or not, they're actually supposed to drill into the trim piece. That's the official Ford-approved license plate mounting location.
If you look at that trim piece there is actually two little dimples in it to show dealerships exactly were to drill.

No idea.
On the normal Bronco it's fairly easy, so I would assume it would be fairly easy on the Raptor as well. You may also have to take apart part of the grille/headlights to get access to the brackets—not sure.
If you didn't want to buy a whole new trim piece, there is also these things...
I was going to suggest JL Audio XDM700/5 if you needed something weather resistant or AudioControl LC-5.1300 for more powah…. but you called out one of those specifically by name as being over-budget so… new plan.
At that price point you’re probably looking sub-800 watt and without any DSP...
I put the Forscan details a few posts up (also below).
If you're not familiar with Forscan, I'll have a more dedicated how-to video probably within the next week, maybe two if I get lazy. (I was already working on a Forscan video, so this will be an easy add.)
Events slow down dramatically during the winter months—particularly up here in the northeast. But there is a lot of stuff coming down the pipe...
