Did everyone get this same paper. Nothing on it says ford. Dont want to plug in something thats only ment for mopar

Yes. It was confusing to me. Eventually, I found out you don't use the little plug only the big one. All you do is plug it in with the engine off. Then press on the start with your foot OFF the brake pedal so that it doesn't actually start. You will need the app installed of course. Then it will connect and locate your VIN. Think your ready? Nope. You also need to update the device. Others have mention that. I believe it is on the "home" page as an option. I didn't know that as there were no Bronco instructions in the box and it only pointed to a jeep video. Hey, it's a brand new adaption to their product. I get it. But the device did offer the help line from the app. So I clicked it and was talking to a patient tech in about a minute. Then it really was a matter of about 10 or so minutes for the device to update and then you can play.

It works on 21-22 models.

Will it be able to accept on OTA update when the 22-26 functions are availe for the start/stop?

Is there any way to make my Bronco default to Sport mode? I have to turn the knob 4 clicks each time I get in. I drive almost entirely in Sport Mode.

Curious - when I start my Bronco a message appears in the gauge display to remain in sport mode - select OK

Yes that's normal. What people are requesting is for it to automatically start in Sport mode, without having to quickly confirm "yes" on the display, and preferably stay in 2H and not 4A.

This was helpful. Successfully added everything. The tire Wizard is being difficult. Im not on very flat roads so the cruze control took time to recalibrate. But when it came time to downloading it to the vechicle it failed. So have to go out and try again. My 37s are calibrated to 35.64 inches so should calibrate 38s,39s since most won't be true to size.

//UPDATE//

I feel Like I'm back on the flight line....troubleshooting. Lol

The SIRIUS XM came back on line after setting off for a while. The Power Distro still showed NO power to the front in all trans case modes. I did verify by feel/sound, and the 4X4 page to confirm it WAS INDEED in 4X4, regardless of PD indication.
I went with the Tire Wizard to recal, and after I stopped and let it update only a 2% diff, it seems to have cleared the WRENCH! YAY!!

I will now see if uploading the SPORT will allow a smooth transition.
BTW....that mode is a tune in itself folks....noticeable power, throttle and shift difference!

More to come........



//UPDATE 2.0//

Went back out and uploaded the SPORT and disabled ECCO, and EVERYTHING seems to be working now.....Whooow!

Confirmed no wrench....deleted from memory, and G2G.

Seems the Tire Wizard was key on clearing the transition glitch of U0403!

Me happy now....

I used tire wizard and got the same wrench how did you get yours to go away?

 

[Fastmc25]

I just used the tire wizard and it was successful.

 

[Tybh88]

Code U0403 after installing tire wizards rewrite. if someone can help me troubleshoot over this weekend before calling superchips on Monday I'd appreciate it.

I had to play with it (troubleshoot) to figure out that the Wrench and 0403 was associated with the 4x4 communicating with the front sensors. It seems after letting it set, and redoing the calibration again, it all cleared. I then went into the scan side and cleared/deleted the U0403 code.

My issue was primarily that it DID NOT like me putting in my numbers (may need .25 inc) in the manual tire diameter "Speedo Adj" tab. I initially didn't stay with the Tire Wiz, due to a disparity between FC GPS and Google GPS.

Keep trying because it seems that there is an important way or timing the turn off/on in the load sequence. Just shy of standing on one foot hokey pokey style, persistence is key I think. Tech is supposed to be easier and simpler.......right??

OK, my question, (which is probably answered in the 23 page preceding this), is what does Ford think about this device and the warranty that I have purchased? Am I going to void the warranty?
