Bronco losing navigation (temporarily due to chip shortage)

[Mean Red GT]

Yeah if it was listed as part of the Package that was purchased at a price determined by Ford then there should definitely be some taken off MSRP for not delivering.

Thank god I have a confirmed April 25 build date

Ford’s just going to leave it off your Bronco and tell you they’re going to ship the module to your dealership within 12 months. After 12 months they are going to say oh shit we dropped that, sorry

Got a Base on order....no loss for me...

....besides sometimes getting lost and finding new stuff is part of the fun

How much of a credit are they giving for the removal?

 

[Tdifonzo]

I hope you 2022.5 builds get this $695 discount. Bet you won’t though.

Considering that most of the areas we go hiking and backpacking, (you know, Bronco stuff) have absolutely no cell service. The carplay/Android auto option is useless. I also don't love the idea of paying $54,000 for a brand new vehicle just to have a janky ass Garmin on the dash like my rusted '96 civic in college. The off road maps were one of the primary features and one of the big selling points for us when we reserved our Bronco almost 2 YEARS AGO! Decontent dealer stock all you like Ford. People buying off the lot know what they are getting. However I've been waiting patiently with the apparently foolish expectation that what I ordered is what I will get. Had I known this ahead of time I would have '99ed my order until it could have been built they way I ordered it, but no, I have a build date now...5/2. It's kind of fitting though, that Ford would take this one last opportunity to screw me over in what has been the most ridiculous and convoluted car buying experience of my life.

So will anyone who should be receiving this receive a discount? Doesn’t seem right that they just don’t deliver on a feature that’s a major selling point of the mid package then charge the full amount.

If you use iOS, you guys do know that there are several offline map apps including Google? I don't see this as a big deal but it does suck for those that wanted the functionality built into the vehicle.

hey, just wanted to point out how ridiculous your comment is.

A 1996 Civic LX with air conditioning (this gets you the power windows, single airbag, still has rear drums) carried a kitted out MSRP of $17,280

Now, since we don't actually still live in 1996, we have to adjust for inflation so our argument holds water.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand

Your Bronco is actually CHEAPER than the 1996 Civic you're trying to say was better than the "garbage" you're getting here in 2022.

Lets just face it, when push comes to shove, you're getting a hell of a lot of vehicle in the 6th gen Bronco at the prices each trim level costs.

This is fulfillment of the non essential chip prophecy from the NADA meeting.

II called this out a potential module that could be one they could choose to eliminate..

From my post in this thread.

https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...n-safety-critical-features.39131/post-1278838

THe GPSM would house the navigation.

And potential modules…here are some I came up with as possible and not possible.

It will have to be a module that is accessible and not part of critical functions. Based on some modules from a 2012 F150, assuming similar, some candidates are PAM (parking aid module), APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module (sync voice, audio in jack),
GPSM (Global Positioning System Module),
DSM - Driver Seat Module (memory seat position, mirror positioning, adjustable pedals )
DCSM (Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module-Heated Seats)

Will this suck but the big concerning part about this article is this

On the same token, it doesn’t appear likely that Ford dealers will be able to add this feature at a later date, which has been the case with other models, including the Ford Explorer – which has temporarily lost its rear-seat climate controls, and Active Park Assist 2.0, which has recently been removed from the 2022 Ford F-150, 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E EV crossover, 2022 Ford Expedition SUV, and 2022 Lincoln Navigator luxury SUV. However, owners will still be able to use their phones for navigation via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is standard on all Bronco trims.

If ford going to take options away and never give them to us that kind of fuck up when we pay for them

Send it. Anyone that has a problem with this should 99 their order.
People that are pissed at Ford for this don't understand how F'd up things are right now. Not Ford's fault. If you think they are pleased with current supply conditions and are out to screw you, you don't understand anything and this forum won't help you.
If they can't get the parts, they can't get them to you. Perhaps people should do more research on their elected representatives.. lol

 

[Kramku1]

Ordered the base don't need cameras or any of that junk used to get around just fine with ordnance survey maps and my eyes

Seems like it actually is Ford’s fault. Ford didn’t buy as many chips as normal because they didn’t think people would be buying cars during the pandemic. They took a big risk and made a mistake, and now not only are they paying for it, but so are the consumers as well the dealers.

Ford is just trying to patch the leaks at this point to please the shareholders by selling more Broncos faster by clearing the holding lots.

They will add them back…read the non essential chip thread. Ford reported to the dealers they would be replaced within a year.
