Sethster Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Energi users received our first taste of My Ford Mobile apps @ http://phev.myfordmobile.com While the Ford android apps don't yet support the latest Google OS releases, there is a fully functional PC & Mac app online. That app is also available through mobile browsers set to display desktop views. In my case, a Google Nexus 7 tablet works well. I've attached a screen shot of the user home page here. The app is also able to display and control the following items remote start,lock and unlock,locate the vehicle via Mapquest,get vehicle info,set timed charging allowing time-of-use plug-in customers to make use of lower evening and night electricity rates. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethster Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Oh oh.... :nonono: Yup -I haven't asked how to disable GPS and the big brother aspect. however, it is valuable if you want to utilize EV+ on the Energi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkraider Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 You might not want to drive any new vehicles. Or have mobile phones. Or go into any cities. All three will get you tracked and logged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkraider Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Or use Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, iOS, Android, Netflix, DirecTV, Dish. Credit cards, grocery rewards, club cards, frequent flyer cards. They all track. This very website utilizes cross-site tracking mechanisms. (Install Ghostery in your browser and be amazed!) There is no privacy in 2013 unless you forgo all technology. wab 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhackwyatt Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Of course I think the whole point is if its stolen. All that almost makes me want to trade in my hybrid for the energi....almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoutsNC Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Of course I think the whole point is if its stolen. All that almost makes me want to trade in my hybrid for the energi....almost. That brings up a neat thought... So you can Start the car from the App. Can you also Turn the car off? :) It would be a neat option to be able to call the police and tell them where the car is and have the power to turn the car off once they were behind them. If that were the case, I would so invest in a cam just for the slightest of possibility of that happening :angry2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdefny Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 We can't, but I think that GM has that capability in On-Star. It would be potentially dangerous to give to the regular users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkraider Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yeah, that would be a safety disaster. OnStar and LoJack can do it though. LoJack can actually lock the thief in the car, with the lights flashing and horn blaring. Although I bet that would just lead to the thrift thrashing the inside of then car...
