Anyone have issues with the Ford pass app?

Ever since the premium Connectivity service expired this month, I've suddenly developed issues involving the app. Suddenly remote start stopped working. When I go into the app and check my vehicles location, it's wrong and says my car is at home, last place remote start worked.

Earlier this month, the first time this happened, the issues began. I had to disconnect the battery and then disable/enable the connectivity settings. The fix worked for around a week and now it's come back.

When I tried tapping on the Connectivity option in settings, it now says that the menu is unavailable.

I'm going to pull the fucking battery again and see if this works. I'll eventually get this into the dealership so they can shrug their shoulders and tell me there's nothing they can do.

Edit: from what I can guess at, I believe it's the modem.

Ford's premium Connectivity service expired, now I'm having issues

Hi there. I purchased a new 2025 S650 mustang a bit over a year ago. About three weeks ago my premium Connectivity service expired. I never used the features of the premium service. I did use remote start all the time. But ever since the premium service expired I've been having an issue where my remote start no longer works. When I open the Ford pass app and tap on Vehicle Location it shows me the last location remote start worked in.

I had this issue about a week ago and I solved it by removing my car from the Ford pass, adding it again, and resetting the connectivity system. Now unfortunately the connectivity settings no longer open. When I click on the tile it has a spinning wheel then kicks me out. Ive reset the display by pressing volume up and skip on the steering wheel but the issue remains.

I'm considering pulling the modem fuse. But I can't help but think that ford is purposely doing this because I don't have the premium service.

Has anyone ran into this issue?

Inconsiderate coworker

I'm done.

My coworker, who is a single mother, often struggles to bring in food for herself. I'll usually bring in a meal as I do meal prepping for myself and will put aside extra for her.

Lately though she hasn't been cleaning the container I bring for her, oftentimes leaving it in the sink for me to wash. When I started bringing her food I told her to just rinse out the containers and I'll take them home and fully wash them. She was usually very considerate and washed the dish and would place it in my backpack.

Last week, Friday, I brought her food. I came back in on Monday only to find my container, dirty, in the kitchen sink . It was still full of food and I decided to just toss it.

This is the second time she's done that despite me asking her to rinse the container out so I can take it home. Today I made the decision that I will no longer going to be bringing her food.

I felt bad for her and her situation, but at the same time I don't want to be taken for granted. I'm doing her a solid by bringing her food occasionally, but at the same time I'm getting punished for it to because I'm expected to wash her container as well.

I have always felt that I'm the type of person to help out another person because I felt it's the right thing to do. But this coworker made me realize that perhaps going above and beyond for someone who is inconsiderate, simply isn't the right thing to do.

Anyways. I just wanted to vent and get that out. It's not really a big deal but I feel my kindness is being thrown in my face.

Hi there! I'm brand spanking new to the world of radar detectors. Today was the first day using it. I was going down a straight highway for about two miles. Up ahead, maybe half a mile, right out in the open was a deputy using his radar gun. As I got closer and closer I can clearly see the deputy with his window open and using the radar gun, pointing directly at me, but yet my r4 never picked him up. Not one bleep on the screen. I know that it's working because it'll pick up those radar speed signs that tell you the speed limit and list yours right below that. My r4 will light up on those.

Why would it not detect the deputy pointing his radar gun directly at me? Is there something I'm missing that maybe I need to setup or something?

Hey there! Dad to an awesome amazing 10 year old daughter here. I feel like I'm constantly struggling and my girlfriend keeps adding to it.

About a year ago she moved her 20 year old niece in despite my objections to it, which led to quite a few issues that I think caused irreparable damage to our relationship. Not to get too far into that rabbit hole, suffice it to say that it was a pretty awful 10, almost 11 months of her living with us, of which I finally got rid of her. She's gone but I feel the damage she caused is still here due to the lack of privacy and boundaries that my girlfriend failed to place on her niece.

This Saturday is nieces birthday party. She's turning 21 and I feel a hatred animosity towards her. I absolutely do not want to go to the birthday party as it will take up the free time, the only free time, that I get to game with my long distance best friend from elementary through high school.

Saturday evenings became a tradition for us. We game for about 3 hours and that's about it for the whole week. He's far east coast so the time difference is 3 hours. But between both of us being dads, having significant others , work and other daily responsibilities, finding time to game online became one of the hardest things to arrange, but we found that a particular block on Saturday evenings was the best and only time we got.

My girlfriends niece birthday party coincides with this time and I told my wife I would rather hang back at home and game with my friend. My girlfriend took this as an absolute insult and decided to give me the silent treatment since yesterday. The double standard here is that when it's my nephew and nieces birthday party, she usually doesn't go and I end up taking my daughter with, and while I would rather my girlfriend go with me, I'm supposed to respect her decision to stay home. Fine whatever.

The double standards don't stop there either. I take care of most all of the household chores. Why? Because my girlfriend, who is a teacher, decided to sink most of her free time into her job. She's a classic example of a workaholic, so I'm left to do roughly 90% of the household chores.

The dishes are done. That was me. The laundry, the cat boxes cleaned, the cars needing oil changes/washing, the front and back yard needs trimming, dog poop picked up, the mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, all me! I don't get time to myself anymore as I'm always doing chores or errands. I don't get any recognition for any of this because it's my job to do this as an adult and parent.

I'm beginning to think I need to start a plan to leave. I started hiding money. Started mentally checking out. I don't really know what I should do honestly. I still love my girlfriend but I feel I'm being stretched in every direction while people tell me that this is normal.

Anyways, just wanted to get this off my chest and to see if anyone else has or is, dealing with this?

Hello. I've been looking into radar detectors and think I've settled on either the Uniden 7 or 4. The 4 is a bit cheaper and from what I've read they are comparable to the 7 but lack the directional arrows to indicate which location the radar is originating from. Is that the only difference or is there something else? If that's the only difference, I'm fine with that.

But my main questions are, because I live in hell, aka Phoenix AZ, where summer temps reach 120+, will this survive in a parked car during the day?

I have a strip of window tinting on the top of my windshield, can I place the detector on that strip or will it degrade functionality?

Thanks for any help!
