    I have downloaded sync 3.6 to my usb flash drive but have not installed it in my car yet. The instructions say to NOTE ANY SAVED NAVIGATION POINTS BEFORE INSTALLING. What does this mean? I have several saved navigation points and thought the new 3.6 version automatically saves them when...

    navigation system question

    I have a 2011 explorer limited with navigation. I understand that the turn by turn directions and the map feature is the default setting if you have navigation in your car.

    Sync turn by turn Navigation or SD Navigation with MFT?

    I thought that when you download a map for directions from map quest or google it was forwarded to the navigation system in the car not to sync. I have done this but do not remember any prompt as to where the driving directions went to ,navigation or sync. Are you sure you need to pull the...

    Sync turn by turn Navigation or SD Navigation with MFT?

    With the sync navigation system dont you lose your turn by turn directions if you are out of cell phone coverage? If it drops out due to weak signal does it pick back up and restore the route when cell coverage returns? Which is more stable satelite or cell hone based nav system like sync?

    My 2 cent fix

    My hinged hardcover eyeglass case looks just like those photos that are posted. You dont need to over engineer it by purchasing a seperate case and hinge unless you want to make it more time consuming than it needs to be.

    My 2 cent fix

    Do it this way and it looks like the switch cover was factory installed installed. Use a hard case eyeglass or sunglass case in what ever color your interior is. The case has a hinge already built into it that you can mount to the bezel on the switches. You just have to cut off the back side...

    Navigation Questions

    Imputing a destination from mapquest or manually doing it yourself is pretty frustrating on this navigation system. First off any destination you choose from mapquest and downloaded to the nav system is modified by the nav system. When the map is downloaded to the car a message comes up on the 8...

    I noticed in all the pictures of the new 8 inch screen layout that the outdoor temperature is missing from the display. It is usually along side the menu and clock readout at the top middle part of the screen ?

    fog lamps

    The problem with the fog lamps is that they are aimed too low at the factory. The light output is on the road right in front of the bumper. The fog lamps aiming is adjustable very easily. The adjustment is on the side of the lamp plug in socket. It is a thumbwheel that is easily adjusted with...

    I thought about raising the cutoff point of the lamps to get more distance with the low beams but i am afraid besides possibly blinding oncoming traffic that when switching to high beams that most of the light will be aimed to high to be very usefull. I have a 2004 ford explorer that has an...
