mpzinkann, Whatever happened with the transmission issues? I'm experiencing similar problems with my transmission and would like to have that info in my back pocket prior to going to the dealer. Thank you!

A few quick updates after some additional commute time this week. The BT Audio is working flawlessly so far (DroidX) and it even displays the song title in the "Entertainment" quadrant, which with v2.11 (when working), it would only display the title of of the first song that was played in the...

After a 11 hour round-trip drive this weekend, here are my comments on the latest release MFT release: Positives: 1. Responsiveness is greatly improved over v2.11 2. I now receive text messages over MFT w/ my DroidX 3. I can "Browse" the Sirius channels without it freezing / showing a...

This sentence is the key, as I've experienced this very problem with about every vehicle I've owned. If you only open the rear windows, you get this wind buffeting effect that is unbearable, and the Explorer is likely no different. Typically, opening one or both of the front windows will...

Not at all! My wife and I ordered a 2012 EX Limited in Nov, with a build date of 12/1, and we haven't had nearly the problems you see reported here. The only minor issues I've seen are the auto-sensing wipers going off on clear days and occasional Bluetooth audio issues w/ my Droid X. Aside...

Outdoor temp? So based upon the pics posted in this thread, it appears Ford removed the outdoor temp reading that was located next to the clock. Can someone confirm this, and is the outdoor temp displayed anywhere in the new release (on the home screen)? Thanks!

They look great! Now you mention the slight issues with the fit, did you happen to try the heating method described on the DMB website? 1. Thoroughly Clean the surface area of your existing Ford badges so they are 'squeaky' clean and your finger does NOT slide across the badge easily...

Looks great, but let's hope they keep the temperature to the right of the clock!

baxterdown, Thank you for the update "from the front lines"! This is a huge improvement from the current voice activated NAV features on our EXs, as it's quite the cluster F to get the NAV to recognize anything you attempt to input by voice (no wonder there are reports of broken MFT...

bluelion, Most / All of the items you say are problems with your Explorer all have TSBs / etc. and your dealer can resolve them. I just picked up my 2012 Ex Limited and so far I'm not experiencing any of the issues you mentioned (except the mis-aligned passenger door / dash). I absolutely...

cnsheets, Actually, I had the same problem when attempting to check-out, so I elected to check-out via Paypal instead, and that worked just fine. Their email address is: sales@dmb.uk.com

Definitely shoot them an email, as they are very responsive / helpful.

Hmmm, the temp displays to the right of the clock on my MFT (2012 Ex Limited).

A highly recommend ordering the bumper cover from BMC Extreme Customs, as their cover actually protects the lip of the rear bumper as well, whereas the OEM bumper cover stops short. http://www.bmcextremecustoms.net/20foexrebupr.html

Agree, as I also purchased the BMC Extreme Customs bumper protector directly from their site and absolutely love it! Packaged well and arrived promptly. http://www.bmcextremecustoms.net/20foexrebupr.html

All, First off, a big thank you to LM614 and 2012 WHT PLAT X for the pictures / info on the Ford Gel Badges from DMB Graphics (UK). These gel overlays adhere to the existing Ford badges/emblems on your Ex, so no removal required (installation instructions below). After seeing their...

2012 WHT PLAT X, What size(s) did you order? I assume the front / rear emblems are the same size? Also, did you order the gel overlay for the Ford emblem on the steering wheel? Thanks!

Well, Ford's ETA was correct! We were out of town when it arrived, so we picked up our Ex on 12/31. Wow, the 2012 Ex Limited is absolutely sweet! From the ride, to the handling it's quite an improvement from the 2003 Ex I owned quite some time ago. The only issue so far is the...

Blueflame16, The Westins look great! Would you mind posting a closer up pic when you get a chance? I'm awaiting delivery of our 2012 Explorer Limited (Cinnamon Metallic) and am interested in installing chrome running boards as well (assuming I can get the wife to buy off on it)... Thanks!

Just received another update from the dealer and our Ex is on a train and is less than 5 hours away (by car), yet Ford has bumped our ETA back a day to 12/27! The dealer still thinks there's a chance we'll have it by Friday, so we shall see!

Nope, and based upon the updates Cory has been providing over the last few weeks, I wasn't expecting it to arrive on 12/19. So I checked in with Cory yesterday afternoon and he said our Ex is now "In Transit" and the new ETA is 12/26. After his update, I reached out to my dealer, and they...

jeffvos, Congrats! Just curious, when did you place your order and what was your build date? Thanks!

Agree, as my ETA has been set to "12/19" since prior to the build date. The dealer won't gaurantee that I'll have it before the New Year, but they did say there's a good chance that I'll have it by next week. I'm going to ping Cory tomorrow to see if he has any new info.

I'm in the same boat. Ordered by Ex Limited on 11/12, Build Date of 12/01, rolled off the line on 12/5, and has been awaiting transit since. I went ahead and created an account on the SyncMyRide site, and when I plugged in my VIN, it then showed all of the MFT/Sync updates that Ford ran on...

HDJulie, You got it. We have a 19 month old and another one the way, so we opted for the 2nd row no console since both bucket seats will be occupied with car seats. That way, we can easily get a couple of passengers to the 3rd row, and we even tested this at the dealer and it was quite easy...
