    Upgrading from MFT/Sync 2 to Sync 3

    It only says: “Navigation Fault Navigation is not functioning properly” I’ve contacted the seller and he’ll be sending some “tools” my way. Whatever that means. Lol Gps antenna works fine as compass was wacky at first and now its working normal. Honestly I use the Apple CarPlay and google...

    Upgrading from MFT/Sync 2 to Sync 3

    So I've installed the radio and...SUCCESS!!! Partially, but still success Here's some pictures The install was very easy, and since the unit came pre-programmed with my VIN, I didn't have to worry about it. Now, one question I do have. To be able to use the Apple CarPlay, I upgraded...

    List of Useful Threads Hood Paint bubble issue only

    So...another one bites the dust. My hood has bubbled up and started chipping away paint. See pictures for reference: Now, I bought this SUV new, and it has been solid. Unfortunately on my closest dealership I was told that because it has ~ 64,000 miles that I'm SOL, to call the "1-800"...

    Ugly Carpet Seam under Driver/Passenger Seats

    if the attention to detail would be done by Ford, you wouldn't be paying 50's for a Limited. I mean seriously guys, ITS AN EXPLORER...not an FX45, not a Cayenne, not a GL...stop thinking "oh if i paid this then they better give this" crap like you think Ford is the best damn company in the...

    Same here. I'm about 300 miles shy of 40,000 and tires are still holding up incredibly well. I think they'll last to about 55k like blwnsmoke says :thumbsup:

    Are you Fed up with MyFord touch like i am??

    Here's a hanky... I believe that 98% of the people here use the system fully. I've owned my Ex for about 7 months now, put in around 10k miles on it and the system has worked great. It has frozen I think maybe twice in those 7 months and it reset and worked and the only true issue I have is...

    Off Road Experience With 5th Gen Explorer !

    exactly...If I wanted something more trail rated I would have gone with something like an FJ or a Wrangler (which I seriously though about buying) but 98% of my time I'm on paved road. Why buy a car with less street manners and comforts, less technology just because 2% of the time it can go...

    so why Wi-Fi?

    well...after reading the topic given by Rebecca I have one use for it: Right now my T-Mobile 4g plan is unlimited in data, but no mobile hotspot. So if I connect it to the car (and if I had kids) everyone would benefit from the high speed internet and it would make trips better. I actually...

    Snow Driving

    I'm pretty sure he was in sand mode, if not the traction control would have kicked in and end the fun real fast

    so why Wi-Fi?

    I'm guessing the intentions were to add apps and that would be the way to have them installed...but since that isn't happening it looks like wasted money for r&d and an adder of premium price to the car

    Snow Driving

    yeah...its such a performance feature that when on snow mode the transmission starts in 2nd gear instead of 1st to decrease wheelspin, that should give some awesome 0-60 numbers! :thumbsup:
