I use the Google Maps 'Send' functionality to send an address to Sync. It was way easier than the voice search. But recently I've been unable to do so. Initially I thought it was a quirk of the specific browser or the address I gave but looks like Ford is not there in the list anymore. Is...

... until I sat in an BMW X5. Now, I love my MFT :) The audio was creepy, and he had a top of the line model. And the navigational was useless, the simple free sync navigational is better. Check out a video of this at At least I paid "almost" less than half of him ... oh well ....

I was playing with the system settings and was trying to set this up after my last upgrade. I don't know whether its my phone or sync, but the 911 assist does not allow me to enter actual emergency numbers. After downloading the phonebook, I try to setup ICE #1 and ICE #2. It only provides me a...

I've had MFT 2.8 and while it hard it quirks, it was generally ok. I took my EX to its first scheduled service and the dealership offered to upgrade it to 2.11. Now, the system is a little faster, but the sync services does not work at all. Voice command for services gets achnowledged, but...

Bike racks One of the great things of getting a new model car is the bleeding edge technology and all the oohs and aahs you get from 'townfolks' :) But the bad thing is scarcity of supported accessories. I just found out my superjoe yakima trunk rack won't fit my 2011 Explorer. Now I have to...

I've had my explorer for almost a month now. For most, I've been extremely happy with it. Since most folks are waiting for theirs and they have very good idea on the specs and driving experiences, I thought I'd share some of the more of the comfort details. Things I love about it and some which...

I was in market for a mid sized SUV, but fell in love with the new Explorer. After doing the research online I located one that I was interested at a dealer near me. Went ahead and picked it up. After that I read all this threads on this site about folks building and *impatiently* waiting for...
