    2025 Explorer Review by Blwnsmoke

    Thanks Blwnsmoke, Checked all the photos, rear looks better but prefer the front look of the current model. Noticed no more hard buttons for climate? No more built-in navigation? Solely rely on Google maps? Are offline maps available as an option or it works over the phone?

    Question regarding Daytime Running LED's on 5th Gen Explorer (Picture)

    I have those but, as well, haven't seen any other Explorer with such a lights in Calgary, AB or area yet. I like them, they are bright but unfortunately faulty.

    2016 Ford Explorer Limited map update A13 SD card issue

    It has nothing to do with Ford. Ford only provides software to read the map data from Navitel as well as provides key encryption. Every SD card has a unique key tied to its serial number and SYNC makes sure that encryption key is correct using special algorithm. That algorithm was cracked almost...

    MFT(Sync2) to Sync3 V3.4 Upgrade Minor Issue

    What is the trim level of that 2013 Explorer this APIM config for? Mine APIM config looks similar, especially starting block 5, mostly because mine 2012 Explorer originally had only four blocks with SYNC 2. The difference is that I dont have block 8 at all. 7D0 01 01 A221 0503 0AAE 7D0 01...
