Topic: WIFI Tow Vehcile setup Posted: 18 Oct 2017 at 4:34pm |
Rawest50,
My radio is on a time delay not associated with ACC, when truck is off and I haven't opened a door. There is a point where truck shuts down from inactivity, if on ACC it stays on. If there is a place to adjust that time delay I haven't found it.

Our F-150 will run things in ACC mode for 15-20 minutes or so, then shuts down. You can change the timeout if you wish.

Thanks a lot. I will try and see what it does. I was thinking I was listening to the radio and after a few minutes it went off but it might not have been in the ACC mode.

I can't speak for GlueGuy, but I sure thought he was joking...
Other comments about looking elsewhere for the answer to your question are spot on. Certainly no harm in asking here but this, obviously, isn't a forum on F150s or WiFi connectivity.

Jokes sometimes don't translate in text. I'm kind of a sarcastic guy, and sometimes that just doesn't work through the interwebs.

You may be able to do what I did with one of the accessory outlets in our Highlander: use a fuse tap and wire the Wifi circuit into an always-on fuse socket.

I Googled it just to see if I could make a constructive comment. I know my wife elected to not pay the 20 or 200 for a years use, I'm sure reason it stops when truck is not powered is to conserve batt, but honestly not sure. Lot of comments on service and reviews on the interweb. Nothing that addresses your issue. I personally don't use mine, but certainly doesn't make you wrong. If you do find some answers let me know I would be interested.
