Would be nice to just tell it to download it directly to MFT via WiFi in the garage, then start the install when I'm ready.

Installed tonight on my 2013 XLT, took about 38 minutes. I rebooted with the reboot utility before I upgraded. I've done this with each upgrade and I've always had good results. So far so good. Seems much faster and responsive.

Just to throw up something to check, is your phone the primary or "favorite", or just another one in the list of paired phones? I've noticed with 3.5.1, if it sees my wife's phone while I'm in the garage (which is the primary phone), and I leave and it finally loses connection to her phone...

Right now you can't do anything with that functionality. Aparently the idea is that later releases might use the data connection or possibly have system updates via WiFi. As it stands right now, connecting it to your home WiFi doesn't get you any benefits.

My 2013 did the same with not shifting. Dealer applied TSB 12-10-10 update and fixed it.

This looks fantastic. Did you use the 1.2 watt panels or a different model?

I wonder if the higher RPM is part of that protection mode. From Manual: If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine will automatically switch to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine. Maybe higher RPMs are...

Apparently it is a known issue with 3.5.1.

Took our 2013 in Wednesday AM for the shifting issue, torn door weatherstriping, misaligned hood, and a glovebox pin that was trapped by the passenger airbag (preventing access to cabin filter). I mentioned the 12-10-10 TSB. The service department had it completely done and ready to be picked...

Brent, Has it still behaved since the PCM update? Mine has done this 3-4 more times since, and I'm planning on setting up a dealer appointment next week.

Also keep in mind that some sensors are banded to the wheel as opposed to being part of the stem. Not sure what the Explorer uses. I have noticed that my 2013 XLT doesn't squeal about the tire pressure until its down a decent ways. If I recall the alert came up on the gauge cluster when I...

Would be nice to have some sort of official statement. There's already a thread here on the board where someone got the runaround because Ford and the dealer couldn't get the story straight about the extended coverage. IVT reps, do you have any pointers to official information on this beyond a...

I had the same thing happen to me last night with my 2013 (9k miles). At first I thought I had accidentially put it into "M", but realized that I was still seeing the economy indicator on the dash and that I was indeed in D. I pulled over and put it into park then back into drive and...

This YouTube video should walk you through it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccSafF5U2Gc&sns=em

In fact, I don't believe onscreen NAV (not the SYNC turn-by-turn) even requires a phone at all to work.

Your dealer is full of it. http://support.ford.com/sync-technology/phone-compatibility-sync-myford-touch#reload

If it is continually crashing you may have a defective component. I'd run it back to the dealer. I don't think a continuous reboot is a common issue related to software woes. It may just be bad luck (or good luck, depending on how you look at it), and you need the APIM replaced.

Lol, from the thread title thought you'd post a picture of a Toyota Highlander or something similar.

In the end its between you and your dealer. I'd be surprised if they could actually get you a hood from the factory. It sounds simple, but I doubt Ford has a procedure for pulling parts in the middle of assembly out of the assembly, especially the paint step. If that's what you want, stick to...

I had a stubborn spot this morning that VLR wasn't budging. I tried koda2000's suggestion of Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner. It worked fantastically. I still followed up with VLR for protectant, but for really tough stuff I'm going the scrubbing bubbles route from now on. Edit: I did a...

Check out fuses 9, 21 and 27. The layout is on page 322 of the 3rd edition manual. The panel is below and to the left of the steering wheel by the brake pedal. They are independently fused. It would be strange to have multiple blown, but its probably still worth checking.

Wow... I know its getting harder to work on the newer models, but I'm still hoping for a Haynes or Chilton manual to do basic to intermediate stuff.

Cool. I'd love to see the UOAs, especially at 12k.

Below is a link to what I'm observing. BTW, the video is probably as interesting as watching paint dry :) http://videobam.com/brgoF I tried turning the key on and had the same results.

Did you just pull a sample or do a full change? Amsoil ought to be good for many more miles than 6,500. (unless you really meant 65,000, which is WAY too long :) )
