Early Bronco

CarPlay options

I am very curious about a couple of CarPlay options that are not available in my ’25 Bronco Sport.

In my previous vehicle (’21 Ford Ranger), CarPlay/Siri had an option to “read” new text messages to/for me. I do not have that option/feature in my Bronco Sport. Also, the Ranger had an option to ZOOM the icons, which is also missing in my Bronco Sport.

I have attached screenshots of the CarPlay settings app… are y’all seeing the same options/limitations? Or are your settings options…

17″ Winter tires & rims w/tpms $500 – Chicago

I recently sold my 2022 Bronco Sport and no longer need my 17″ steelie rims and winter tires with tpms sensors. I purchased these as a set from Discount Tire on 10/26/22 and paid over $1,200. I am selling everything for $500.

The rims are in excellent condition with no dents and scratches that I can see of, and the tires are just under 3 years old with plenty of tread left. Always garage stored off season.

The Bridgestone Blizzaks WS90 225/65 R17 have around 12k miles on them. Please see…

James May road trips the (big) Bronco

Less evocative of Top Gear tomfoolery, more of James mildly complaining about things in his old age:

Finally got around to installing the dash bracket and Garmin dash cam. I did the hard mount thru the dashboard cover into the fastener in the dash itself. Nice and sturdy, no movement and well designed. Like the extra mounting hardware available thru Tackform as well.

Won’t start

Brake pedal was hard as a rock. If you can’t budge the brake pedal, car won’t start. Dash cycled through various screens, all bad. Service recommended “hard reset“ by disconnecting battery, which worked. Anybody else have this problem or know cause?

Bronco ForScan Thread

I understand some users here may not be in the Ford eco system at the moment so this thread may seem unusual, but in time, I hope you will learn from this thread how to modify your Bronco and add factory features it may not have shipped with. A lot of what I will discuss here at first will be Sync 3 related, due simply to the fact that the Bronco doesn’t really exist at the moment, but it’s so much more than that.

Utilities which can be used to splice bits of different Ford’s together…

2024 BS front right speaker wire access for powered sub.

I want to add a powered sub. Driver’s side speaker wires were easy to find. Any advice with pics for which harness the passenger side speakers are located? I have the glove box out but still searching. I’m using the high level inputs on the sub obviously.
