I don't truly need the OBDII reader, but using CarPlay and Apple Maps gives me no information about charging, Plus you can't resize the Apple map on the screen to zoom out and look ahead. I can do some things to make life easier, but I shouldn't have to compromise to do so. You can't select any USB music with the truck moving with is absurd. No matter what I did giving a voice command, it would not change to a different antist or album and stay on the USB music. Most of the same music is on the phone in mp3's. If I used voice command to try and change music on the USB drive, it would switch to my phone bluetooth music every time. I have Car Play turned off because I want my phone wifi to be connected to a wifi OBDII reader. This is just the beginning.įrom there - I also want to upgrade the stereo, so I've ripped 60 or so CD's to FLAC and have those plugged in to one of the front USB plugs on an SSD drive. Trying to use the Ford Navigation, I tried about 10 times to get it to understand an address (did this 3 different times) and it never once found an address. In 4 years of Tesla ownership I can count on one hand the number of times it didn't understand and map an address.
Our lives have become complex with devices and my short 400 mile Thanksgiving trip was frustrating.įirst is the navigation. To each their own though.The sad part is the horrible software in the Lightning. My 2011 Tacoma and 2015 tundra both sounded leagues better to me and didn’t add $610 to the price like the B&O did. As far as the overall sound, it just wasn’t worth the price to me personally. But as far as bass goes there is basically none. Like I mentioned in the Reddit thread, I’m not even planning to add a sub and the last thing I’m trying to do is make it just a rumble machine. You want to blast lil'whovever, just get aftermarket subs and ruin the balance.It’s not that I’m trying to blast bass, I just personally feel the system is underwhelming for what it cost. I am just tired of people bashing on this system as it really is not bad. Sadly, most streaming services are lossy, so you get what you pay for. The speaker placement is amazing and provided you don't use a crappy 128kbs source, it sounds good. Good sound systems are balanced, not overwhelmed by bass.
Blasting bass for a certain genre of music does not mean a good sound system. I find the 8 speaker B&O system pretty good. Link for anyone wanting to read the Reddit thread in question But I can’t see any way that replacing the speakers from ****ty stock speakers to JBLs could possibly be a “downgrade” and an “injustice” as they actually described it.
It all sounds like uppity, condescending, audiophile bull**** to me, but I wanted to check with you guys here. Essentially multiple users were telling me that I had to buy a $700 amp replacement just to get started and that the $120 speakers I was looking at were not worth even considering because they would somehow sound worse than factory? So I looked through a lot of threads that I found mostly through here and thought that I had most everything figured out for what I was going to buy, so I posted a thread over on Reddit at /r/CarAV and was basically accosted as if my idea to upgrade just the speakers themselves with JBL GTO’s was sacrilege. My base model bone-stock 2015 Tundra had a much better sounding system. It’s apparently just an upgrade amp with a **** sub and factory paper-cone speakers for anyone unaware. Hi guys! I just got my new 2022 F-150 Powerboost and I love it to death…but the B&O system is severely disappointing.
