    My latest issue

    Well, I have had numerous problems with MFT, but most have been frustrating, but livable. I also have the transmission bump, had the overheating problem, A-pillar noise and my heater went out. However, overall I enjoying driving my explorer. My newest problem is that my heater went out...

    MFT v3.6.2 is now available

    my "voice" button on my steering wheel stopped working right. For some reason it only works part of the time. Makes it so I can't make calls or use voice commands. I would say it works less than half the time now. never had this problem before the update anyone else have this issue?

    MFT Deal-breaker?

    I have said this a few times Love the car, hate the MFT - actually it has improved just enough where I would say I have a seriously strong dislike. I actually avoid dealing with MFT most of the time, and use it when needed. ON some things voice is better then going through various screens...

    2013 Explorer XLT - Sync complete POS

    MFT is like that person you work with who you avoid dealing with as much as possible. Then when something comes up and you have to deal with that person, when you are all done you are reminded why you try everything you can to avoid dealing with them

    2013 Explorer XLT - Sync complete POS

    Sync/MFT is total crap..... sure it works a majority of the time, but that is not really acceptable. It is very sad and frustrates me more often than not. Even the voice recognition for Sync stinks and doesn't work all the time.... sometimes I have to call 4-5 times before it will work right...

    K&N Intake

    the main reason is I am cleaning out my garage (some life stuff). the box is huge and took up a lot of room. It had oem intake in it. so I decided to go back to stock and get rid of the k&n secondarily, it was a little louder than I would have liked.......but that didn't bother me much and...

    Transmission "bump" aka "hard shifting" TSB

    I have it, not sure about my build date, but my dealer won't do anything about it because they can't recreate it. Honestly, I have that and other issues and have just about given up on getting things fixed that I am able to live with. Sometimes hard to believe these things cost 40k

    About to buy

    I love my explorer, hate MFT - as has been said, if you are buying for the coolness of MFT - think twice - in fact, I recommend don't buy it. If you like the way it drives, the ride etc then they are great. I have been thinking I should get a Q5 just to get away from MFT

    Windows 8 Phone

    the more I use my windows 8 phone, the more I am liking it.....not perfect and not as good in the details as ios, but pretty good overall. God the text thing working right now with MFT and figuring out settings and it is working well. Phone part is better than my iphone was and screen is much...

    If its mocar let us know how it works. I inquired on their website and closest dealer is about 50 miles away and I can't find any info on them. I am extremely hesitant to let them hack on my car without knowing their reputation.

    Windows 8 Phone

    Windows 8 Phone

    When I get a text the mft automatically answers, but there is nothing said. It just opens the line like a phone call but nothing happens. Any settings on your phone you had to do? I tried to turn texting on in mft but just says this device doesn't support text

    Windows 8 Phone

    Thanks. Couple questions How do you get it to read texts? I just tested it a d when I get a text the system answers like a phone call, but nothing happens. I was able to voice text by activating it on the phone and then uses mft for mix and speakers

    Windows 8 Phone

    OK, I just hit the text button in settings and it said didn't support, thought that might mean all. I ended up deleting my phonebook and then re-downloading it and not it seems to work. I will have to try the text thing. ON a more positive note, MFT response is screaming fast...

    I know this is a long shot, but it has been a few months. Any update on the licensing and being able to add Navigation??? Sync turn by turn is still junk, worse than before. I am hoping adding Nav may help

    What happened to 'Send to Ford' in Google Maps?

    yeah, this is seriously frustrating.... and the Sync destinations app search is horrible. I put in a very specific address with zip code and everything and then gives me 3 options that I can't even read. This MFT stuff keeps getting worse. I can't believe Ford let the license lapse. With all...
