I don't think it matters where where you live. I wish California was a castle doctrine state. A man's home and his car should be his castle. Although this law does come a large amount of responsibility.
Only from the back you can't get t-boned the camera doesn't work that way. I have definitely thought about that. 🤣
I like the RX500h because it has a push button to open the door, but that same button/lever can be pulled like a conventional handle to open. So no risk.. I've seen some of...
The rear radar detects cyclist, pedestrians or something that may collide with your door when opened. Especially helpful if you do a lot of parallel parking and exit on a busy street.
I think you can turn it off under Settings > Vehicle > Driver Assistance > Driving Safety > Safe Exit.

I knew it was a joke 😂
And that is 100% true. My only experiences was with COBB access ports which are essentially a performance focused map flasher and monitoring tool, basically foolproof.
A while ago, Cobb did make Access Tuner Race for people in @ZXMustang's line of work. This was a...
If the car is offered with a connectivity package, you could in theory disable cellular on your mobile device, connect to the car's hotspot and stream your music. However, this might limit your ability to receive phone calls reliably. Your phone and plan would need to support Wi-Fi calling...
It's a Ford "Subaru" brat. 🤣. Although wildly popular (back in the day) but not to me, it may provide utility for some. A four-door Baja was also popular. I guess you could put an EcoBoost engine in it. I don't think a performance model would sell. Sounds like a lot of work for not much of...
When you replace the rotors on your car, it's recommended that you put new pads on to. You'll need to compress the pistons to get the loaded caliper back on the new rotor. Then go through the bedding process unless you buy pre-bedded pads. You're still going to need to get the surfaces...
@Lou G,
That's very kind of you. I'm just a car enthusiast, a learned DIY'er 👨🔧
My Dad started the boys with mini bikes and dirt bikes when I was eight or nine. He taught us how to wrench and ride. That turned into cars. We had a marine dealership for 16 years too so I saw my share of...
Oooo... That might be expensive. If you can't get the button assembly by itself, you'd have to buy the entire module (assembly) that includes the lights, button, etc.
Look at Car play. You're confusing privacy with App permissions.
This is the reason why people like me and many others had a job for decades.
See here is Ford on Android.
Here are the privacy settings on ford.com
They make it so convoluted now almost to trick you into agreeing or opting...
I should have probably been more clear. Text messages are read to you. When you reply you speak your reply.
There are multiple places to set / toggle permissions. Some are in the car's infotainment system, some can be accessed on Ford.com using the steps above, getting there through the...
Although I use Android Auto, I am familiar with Car Play also. When you pair your device with Car Play you have to agree to allow Car Play access to your messages. This allows read and reply. Keep in mind that your messages can then been seen by Ford, captured and sold to data brokers. The...
I changed at 1k. I'll change every 3-5k going forward. Using motorcraft full synthetic. I have a catch can and oil is cheap insurance. Car should be fine.
