- 2018 Explorer XLT
Ok, so we drive our cars until the wheels fall off. The 2018 Explorer XLT (with Tech package) we just bought is replacing a 2001 Explorer XLT. Our other car is a 2007 Toyota, so we have no experience with car technology whatsoever. Seriously, our other cars do not have usb ports, a screen of any type, or even satellite radio. I'm actually pretty tech savvy, enough to know that if I don't set this Sync system up right in the beginning, it could be a pain in the butt to reset / reconfigure things later.
Any advice out there about setting up a new Sync 3 system? Sync phone with car first? Sign up Ford website first? Download the app first? Are there any specific settings you recommend?
What about signing up for free trial periods? I've never had satellite radio or navigation. I currently just use IHeartRadio, Apple Music, Waze, google maps. Free Wi-Fi for 3 months is included. Can I save that for a long trip later this year or does the trial period begin at purchase?
