    Adding Remote Start Access

    The accessories.ford.com website states the controller is $385 plus install; however, dealers don't seem to want to authorize this price. The price has been reported anywhere from $450 to $800 installed (plus $50/yr), all at authorized Ford dealers. They charged me $695 installed even after...

    Adding Remote Start Access

    I can now confirm the following: I rolled down my window, locked the doors, waited 30 seconds, reached in and opened the door from the inside, let the car horn start honking. I then received a text: ========= Alert from My 14 Explorer, at 8/4/2013, 2:24PM CDT the security system was...

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    I can only confirm the shock sensor at this time from my experience. However, the activation site states shock and proximity. Since it integrates with the OEM computer, I can't say either way at this time because it is plausible.

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    It depends on how well they placed the module in the glovebox. It is possible you will need to remove the glovebox cover to get to the module. Take a look at the instructions I posted via a link earlier. If you can get to the module in the glovebox you may be able to remove the jumper, or...

    Adding Remote Start Access

    Make sure they remove the jumper and activate the shock sensor with their online tool. You need to also go into the settings on the phone application and set up the notification number and carrier to receive texts from the vehicle.

    MFT v3.6.2 is now available

    This one is very helpful. When connecting my phones for the first time it seemed like it just kept asking question after question. Now it asks all the questions on one screen.

    MFT v3.6.2 is now available

    Hmmm... If the magnifying glass was always there, it wasn't turned on by default on my 2014 Limited. I don't remember seeing any options for the zoom in the setting either before the update.

    MFT v3.6.2 is now available

    I also noticed I have a magnifying glass on my rear camera. Clicking it zooms in on the tow hitch. Considering my background with electronics, I'm pretty sure I'm qualified to call them LED screens. You, in fact, may not call them that, but that doesn't mean that's not what they are.

    MFT v3.6.2 is now available

    Took about 30-40 minutes to download. Took the full 30 minutes to install and rebooted the system 5 times. Some things I noticed now that I didn't before (doesn't mean they weren't there) 1. Right LED now shows time and outdoor temperature. I'm pretty sure this is new only because I...

    Adding Remote Start Access

    Tell her she will be able to start the car (and confirm it started) while she is standing in the shopping checkout line so it's warmed up or cooled off for her when she gets there. It doesn't matter where you or the vehicle are as long as both you and the vehicle can get cell service. Even...

    MFT v3.6.2 is now available

    I'm not seeing anything new on www.syncmyride.com / the fordsupport.com site in terms of a new "merged site". When I click on Login/Register it asks me if I am a Ford owner or a Lincoln owner, it has been doing that since late June / early July when I registered. I am downloading the 3.6.2...

    Adding Remote Start Access

    The module will run approx $500 from the dealer plus install which is quoted at approx 40 minutes. The phone app allows for lock, unlock, find, start, and stop. The find function honks the horn 5 times and flashes the lights. It also has a built in shock sensor that can be turned on and...

    $2000 Retail Customer Cash for Explorer

    If you order it and the vehicle is to the dealer by 9/30/13 and you pay for by then, you will get the $2000. At least that's how mine worked when I ordered them. The retail means you are purchasing (or using a different bank), not financing through the Ford program. The lease program...

    Uses for USB cell stick?

    Be aware the Cellular USB drivers are very limited. You will need to do a lot of investigation as to if the cellular usb modem is even supported by the vehicle. This information is very limited and you may have better luck if you can find a cell company local that will be nice enough to let...

    2014 Global Window Control

    I find this information interesting, considering I have a "FIRST PRINTING" edition of the manual and it is also listed on my vehicle under www.fordowner.com. It seems to me someone in Quality Control would have noticed that this feature, including the video of how it works, is misplaced on...

    2014 Global Window Control

    The manual for the 2014 Explorers show a Window Control option in the "Driver Convenience" menu section. However, I do not have this option in my Setting on the left LED. Is this something I can get turned on with the 2014? We special ordered my Ex and selected every option available on the...

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    I don't think it's AT&T because that service is non-existent in my area, but the module still works. Verizon's LTE service uses a SIM card as well, as does T-Mobile last I checked. Most of the time AT&T is on a strange frequency that doesn't work well with others, but T-Mobile and...

    Adding Remote Start Access

    After training the dealership on exactly what Ford Remote Access was, and I wasn't dreaming, I was able to get them to successfully order and install the Remote Access Module. I'm please to say that it works perfectly on my 2014 Limited Ex. It was a little difficult to explain that the unit...
