    I'm going to make sure to keep a copy of your video in case I need it for self-defense in a civil lawsuit against Ford because they're going to make me try and pay for this possibly because I pay them $400 a week rental and I have $1,000 deductible and they do not allow you to pay for any extra insurance if there's any accidental damage whatsoever yet they're paint on a brand new car I got it at 18 miles is already peeling

    Ford Art Hill FRAUD I was impressed with the Ford Mustang Mach -E at the Chicago Auto Show. I am 81 and enjoy a nice car to ride in. I happen to be passing by “Art Hill Ford” 901 W. Lincoln Hwy, Merrillville, Indiana 46410. 219 738 5300. I stopped in. I met salesman Gregory Lottis. We discussed the car. Then I / we test drove it. I was very impressed. I drove in with a Toyota Prius very good shape. We talked price Gregory offered me a nice with my trade in out the door price. The he enhanced the deal by telling me Ford will give me “Three years of FREE charging at network locations. He even held up his hand with three fingers showing. Then he also said Ford has a “0” interest loan for 3 years. I excepted the offer. I signed all the documents. Then Gregory asked me for a credit card. I questioned that. He said to set up the load appellation. The needed a credit rating. I have an excellent credit rating. I handed him my Discover Card. He inputted into the system. I was excepted for the “0” interest loan. Then Gregory did something I objected to. He said he opened a “Gmail” account for me. I strongly protested. He said, “it is done”. Gregory asked me for my cell phone. I said I do not have a cell phone. He said I needed a cell phone to have access to the charging stations. The cell phone will also show me the charging stations in network. I stated well the sales is off. I do not want a cell phone. I have a landline phone at home and that is all in needed. Gregory retrieved an old cellphone of his. He said I can use it but can not make any calls on it. I excepted it. He showed me the “Ford network appl”. He explained how to use it when charging my new Ford Mustang Mach - E. After a couple of charges of my car. Gregory called and told me I needed to get my own smartphone. I soon will not be able to use his. I ordered a smartphone at $32.00 a month. I told Gregory I would not have purchased the car for that very reason. I needed to bring the phone to Gregory to set up the “Ford appl”. He did. Then he said the next time I needed to charge my car. I needed to tap the phone to the charging station. It will recognize it and charge my car. After several charges. I received my Discover card. My credit card was charged for every in network charge. I called Gregory. He said I needed to come in with my phone and he will find out why I am being charged. I demanded to talk to the manager. Manager Steven Bukvich presented himself to me. I explained about not getting the three years of FREE charging at the in network charges. Steven looked on his computer. He said my information was incorrect. I must have inputted something wrong. I told him Gregory inputted 100% of my information. Steven reinsured me that he would correct everything now. I would receive the three year FREE charges. Charges were still being downloaded to my Discover card. Then Monday MAY 6. Steven left me a message on my answering machine to come in again. Sunday night I E-Mailed Steven, I have several doctor appointments. Call me (home phone) before 8:45 AM. I got to Art Hill about 10:00 AM. I asked for Steven. I was told he is in a meeting. He will not be available until after 1:PM. I got angry I demanded to speak to Steven Bukvich. Steven told me he “E-mail” me not to come in. Steven noticed I was wearing a video camera. He demanded I shut it off. I said NO. I need documentation that he promised me “THREE Years” free charges. He again told me I screwed up. He needed to straighten things out. He ask me to give him another week. WE had about an hour of heated load discussion. He said I mad very stupid mistakes. He needed to correct them. Then Gregory entered the heated discussion. Steven asked me to give him another week. Then he asked me to send him copies of the discover card statements. I E-mail all the statements. Steven Bukvich called me he asked me to come in. He said he has an expert Armon Peloza. He will correct the errors and I will get my Three years of FREE charge. I met Armon Peloza. Armon asked me to open my Discover card statements. I did. He just made a printout of the statements. He said Steven did not receive them. Now me made sure Steven got the statements. I made about ten 70 mile round trips to Art Hill. To date. NO FREE charges.

    Just going to throw this out there, it would probably be viewed better without the Mustang moniker. 9/10 I dont even call it the Mustang and just refer to it as the Mach-e. I'm looking to get one, but im waiting to score a great deal as they dont sell well where i live and they are coming down a ton. we still have 28 2022 GT performance on lots in our city that have been sitting for 2 years. Used are also coming onto lots but i think dealers are realizing they are asking far to much as they are nearly asking the price of new.

    Hi there! Thanks for the review. Have a question on the U3000 Thinkware remote LIVE view feature....Basically, my intention is to view my car, LIVE from any remote location, even when the car is "SWITCHED OFF" (that's the key word). So my question is, if I connect the U3000 camera with a hardwire kit or if I use an external battery, like the ivolt Xtra or Powercell8, which will actually require me in both of the above cases to connect to the fuse box and this will eventually give the U3000 camera a constant power source alongwith having an internet connection inserted in the usb port of the battery, will I be able to see my car LIVE remotely from any location even when the car is "SWITCHED OFF"? Please let me know - thanks, Terence

    Guys and girls. Before you install the connecting wire from your rear camera across the top of your roof pillars, make sure you won't be interfering with the deployment of any curtain airbags. Many of these have an anchor point part-way up the A-pillar, for example, which makes routing the wire across the top of the A-pillar to the windshield inadvisable unless you remove the trim and go behind the airbag or, even better, down one side and up the other.. If in doubt, remove the trim to see what you're dealing with.

    @@macheconnection I didn't imagine for a minute that you wouldn't have done it right but I've seen so many 'how-to' videos, even ones posted by alleged pro installers, which don't take airbags into account. I'm no pro by any means but fit stuff like dashcams etc. for friends and family and my own preference is to go down the C pillar and along the door sills and up the windshield side of the A pillar if only because some roof linings have a way of never being the same once interfered with.

Been a bit frustrating waiting for the Blue Cruise update they keep postponing though, last i heard we're all going straight to 1.4. I just wish Ford would be more straightforward with customers about the timing and delays...at least they offered me 3 more years for $600. I'd never pay thr crazy price theyre aaking new buyers but think $200/year is fair... assuming they ever update it 😀

    that radar does not work at all in the Mach E with its front IRR windshield, you can't set radar on for the rear only. time lapse mode and motion detection in park mode do work very well. the U1000 also has these features without the radar, so unless ya can get a good deal on the U3000, get the U1000.

    What kept throwing me off is you hardwired the green to the battery constant. Does that pull when the car is off? If not I can’t understand the reason for this. I have the q1000 in my Ranger and F150 hardwired directly to the battery with no issues. In my Mach-e I got the volt mini with the Q1000. My set up doesn’t have the green wire. So my input to the battery only has a ground and an ACC fuse tap. My output from the battery is, red yellow black, and hardwired. Your videos is a bit long but I like it that way so I’m not wondering if you edited out something I might have a question on.
