Wow! what a fantastic video! Very comprehensive. I have saved for future use as I am hoping to purchase my Mach E early 2024! Thank you for this in depth video!
@@CarsWithSteve I love it so far. Unfortunately, I had it for two weeks and I had to go overseas but I’ll be back next week. Seemed like after about five days the car went into deep sleep. But I’m very excited to get back into it. In fact, I’ll take my first major road trip around Christmas time to go see my kids in Montana. That’s 1400 miles one way.
@@CarsWithSteve Ford says 83% of that trip is blue Cruise compatible. I’ll tell my kids I’m excited to see them, but I’m almost as excited to drive the trip. Haha
You're welcome! I figured out a few months back it was actually available but hidden.. just had to enable developer mode to get it. Put together a video showing people how it can be done - czcams.com/video/K2PMtdje3m0/video.html
I have been driving a Model 3 for 4+ years but I am intrigued by this vehicle, once Tesla opens up the Supercharger network to Ford and others. I'm a SiriusXM subscriber and for 4 years have been frustrated by the lack of native SXM. Futzing with a phone is not cool. This was a very thorough video! Excellent!😀
Thanks! Looking like the charging network is opening soon, with a free adapter for eligible Mach-E and Lightning owners! How have you enjoyed driving the Model 3 so far? It'll be great to be able to use SiriusXM and Android Auto/Apple CarPlay! It's always been a head scratcher why Tesla doesn't allow those options
@@CarsWithSteve The Model 3 is great. The Model 3 and Y are probably the most well-rounded EVs out there, but that doesn't mean they don't have their shortcomings. For instance, Elon Musk is completely sold on the idea that cameras can replace RADAR, LIDAR, etc. I disagree. Cameras work well under certain weather situations, but if it's snowing or something like that, not so great. On the other hand, I would only use AutoPilot if the weather was good. I do not have FSD. I'm not sold on it and I enjoy driving the car too much to care. Another thing that irks me are the crappy rain-sensing auto-wipers. Again, 1st world problem, but the solution to the problem is simple and cheap. Why does Musk insist on being so obstinate? I'm also not a fan of removing the steering wheel stalks. In fact, it may be a dealbreaker for me whenever I replace my 3. I want to see the new Equinox too. Next year manufacturers will start using the Tesla charge port so I may wait until then. Plus, not sure what's going on with tax credits. It's very convoluted. Anyway, great video!
I was reading the Lidar vs camera issue a while back, it really doesn't make sense why they would focus on just cameras outside of cost. How do you find the autopilot system works? Neat to hear a current owner's reasoning, so appreciate the feedback here! The Equinox EV looks neat, still haven't had a chance to review that one yet but the specs look good
@@CarsWithSteve I have basic Autopilot which is a fancy term for adaptive cruise control and auto steering in 1 lane. They both work great but I only use the lane steering function if I am taking my eyes off the road for a moment. Every 20-30 seconds you have to apply pressure to the wheel anyway. My car is 4 years old so it has all the sensors.
thanks, very thorough. in ALL that info & prefs, where on earth is the 12v battery level? some say its in the Ford user account login, but no, not in Australia at least.
Hello Steve. So if we assume that we import this from USA to other country,will we be able to listen to the radio of our country ,will the radio stations,the presets and icons on am,fm and siriusXM change according to that available in the country?
CarPlay and Android Auto don't support CZcams playback but there are some devices that let you mirror.. I haven't come across one yet that works reliably.. Exciting about the new ride as well! Is it the first time you've owned an EV?
@@CarsWithSteve i will bye the yellow mach e X GT its to beautiful ! for 60000 euro like new , and do a little tuning on it , 2 spoilers , stripes , red badges overal , and bigger tires like 50 or 55 .
That's right.. no sounds in the games. This is a first gen screen with games so I think once the tech improves there should be some improvements to game availability
If your graphics look like they do in this video you're on Sync 4a. You'll have a home icon on the top left vs in Sync 4 it's a car instead. They're pretty much identical though from a feature perspective
Wow, that was sooo comprehensive. I will have to watch it several times to absorb, but the author makes it interesting and clear.
Thanks James, glad you found the video helpful! What Mach E did you end up going for?
Wow! what a fantastic video! Very comprehensive. I have saved for future use as I am hoping to purchase my Mach E early 2024! Thank you for this in depth video!
Thanks Annette and you're welcome! Exciting about the new Mach E. Do you know what specs you're going for in yours?
Brother that was an awesome review and how to video. Thank you so much.
Thanks Randy, glad the video helped! How are you liking your Mach E so far?

Haha when they see the car they'll understand
I love how you speak. It’s very soothing. I really enjoy all your videos 😊
Thank you 😊
Thank you 🙏
You're welcome!
thank you for video, Waze shows up on my Sync 4 fyi.

Ah I figured that was the case with the base autopilot system. I'd be curious to know which way you decide to go when you end up upgrading
thanks, very thorough.
in ALL that info & prefs, where on earth is the 12v battery level?
some say its in the Ford user account login, but no, not in Australia at least.
You're welcome! It's not just you.. there surprisingly isn't a battery level anywhere accessible in the cluster or infotainment screen
Let’s go to Timmy’s! lol… I wish they were everywhere in the states like they are in Canada.
Haha good catch! I've heard they're pretty sporadic down in the US.. Dunkin not quite as good?
@@CarsWithSteve no, I’m a Tim Hortons fan. I know where most of them are in Metro Detroit area by heart. Keep up the good content.
I'm the same way when I'm on the road.. plot out the directions to Tims. Thanks!
Hello Steve. So if we assume that we import this from USA to other country,will we be able to listen to the radio of our country ,will the radio stations,the presets and icons on am,fm and siriusXM change according to that available in the country?
Hey! Yes, the radio stations that are played will be region specific and based on the location of the car
@@CarsWithSteve thanks a Lot.I had been having this spinning in my mind for months.
anytime!
screen is a lil bit slow to respond otherwise it’s a cool thing
One thing I'd like to see is full video playback when parked
How can we add CZcams and other watch apps in the entertainment section
I wish there was a way to do it! There's no factory option for Netflix support and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay don't support video playback yet
youtube possible on screen ?
Unfortunately not.. the next generation Ford screens are based on Android OS but the older screens won't be updated with that software
@@CarsWithSteve screen mirroring youtube possible with android car app ? i just bought the beautiful yellow GT for 60000 euro like new !

@@CarsWithSteve yes first real EV , i have some remote monstertrucks bigsieze , i know they have the power and capaciti !
Does the games has normally no sounds?
That's right.. no sounds in the games. This is a first gen screen with games so I think once the tech improves there should be some improvements to game availability
How can i tell if i have Synch 4A or Synch 4 in Mach E
If your graphics look like they do in this video you're on Sync 4a. You'll have a home icon on the top left vs in Sync 4 it's a car instead. They're pretty much identical though from a feature perspective
@@CarsWithSteve thanks I do have the home ixon
Perfect! How are you liking the Mach E so far?
Under entertainment, my 23 premium only shows CZcams.
Hmm that's odd. Have you tried a factory reset and under updates.. is the screen up to date with the latest release?
Pretty sure it is. Home button in top left of screen
Any way for you to share a video either here, on Facebook @carswithsteve or on Instagram @realcarswithsteve
Big ipad
With no video playback :P
