Right. Okay. I never use the valet feature :)

I got 2 fobs (with physical keys inside) and 1 standalone key. Never used any of them. One thing don't miss about living in California was all the mandatory valet places.

I played around with it a little bit last year. I think it really just alters the parameters so you can't accelerate so quickly.

Maybe you can rig up some sort of fuse bypass switch... flick a custom switch and all desired fuses are disabled. Good luck with the fusebox... it's the worst location of any car I've ever owned and with the 2016+, you'll be dealing with micro2/3 fuses, which are pretty new and can be hard to...

In my case, I wasn't in a rush... in fact I only bought the Explorer because it was a perfect storm. The Costco promo ran from July through August 2016 -- two whole months. In July the interest rate was 3.9%, but in August it dropped to 1.9%. So that's when I pulled the trigger. Canada generally...

I'd say if you were paying in Canadian dollars that would be a great deal. Every dealer varies a great deal between states and countries has it's own way of charging fees. Sometimes it that can be negotiated or waived. I believe I paid a $400 doc fee but they tried to get my on some security...

Neither have I -- but I did just read a story where Mercedes rented a Tesla, reverse engineered it for two months and then returned it in a very damaged state. I was making a joke, I hope :)

Don't worry. Sometimes cars get assigned for intensive track testing before shipping for a couple weeks. They'll just reset your odometer beforehand, and likely, you'll also get new tires put on too.

Anyone that wants a 2018, best wait for the next Ford Employee Pricing + Costco deal. And you'll get a haggle free way of getting ~11% MSRP off. Happens twice a year. Doesn't seem to apply to the high end Mustangs, Raptor yet... questionable whether the new Expedition will be included either.

Sounds like you might have a broken sensor or something. Maybe see if it repeats? When nearly empty I can get 16 gallons / 60 liters. I've been doing some fuel economy tests with different grades, so I let it get pretty empty (never below 10km to next fillup). But if you *just* reset your fuel...

They had 18" TR9's on Amazon for $120 a pop (wrong spec though)... and free shipping, so that would have been a great deal for the Americans. I still buy stuff in the states and bring it back... but it's still hit or miss. I do a lot less of that now though because I can't be bothered unless I'm...

I took a quick look and amazon.com does sell this exact wheel. Unfortunately not in the correct size. Btw, for your records, here's the precise 18" size I ordered the wheels. It's a multi-fit wheel but you want the 5/114.3. It also fits 5/108: Winter Rims Touren TR9 (Matte Black) Wheels 18" x...

I did the same thing. I bought my wheels/lug nuts/spacers at 1010, my tires at Canadian Tire, my TPMS at amazon.com, and got them installed at the Ford dealer. This was over a year ago, when nobody could confirm the official sizes of everything because 2017 was still so new. One interesting...

At 1010tire you buy the wheel and the tire spacing kit together (or tirerack.com in the US). You can literally get them shipped to a designated dealer close to where you live to get them installed. Btw, I misquoted my tire size.. they are 24560R18 (the recommended size), not 255 -- I just...

You need to get hard plastic spacers with the wheels for them to fit the gap. I don't believe you can fit R20 tires on an R18 rim... never heard of that. Not sure if that's what you are asking though. I bought a set for dedicated winters and got the wheels/tires together. I still have my stock...

FYI, don't need the TMPS19 tool. The car figures it out all by itself, but you have to drive about 10 miles for it to suddenly reset. Even works after rotation now that I've put my winters on twice now.

That's incorrect. You can use either exFAT or FAT32 -- I installed mine via FAT32 on the first try.

So far I can't tell that there were any differences. What I am seeing so far: New icon for nav button I'm getting traffic updates again (but wasn't certain if I was getting them before I upgraded). I see my wife's picture when I call her. I also can't remember if that was happening in 2.0 or...

I just had mine done for free with my oil change. They showed me the OASIS technical details but wouldn't print it out for me. Basically it looks like they double checked a bunch of undercarriage rubber seals (like big rubber bolts), and replaced or added some sort of insulator tunnel. Here's...

Funny it only applies up to 2015 MY. I just had the "recall" applied to my car although it's technically a courtesy, not a recall.

Mine always does it even if I put the seatbelt on first. The seatbelt alert is a different chime and it happens about 10-15 seconds after startup. I don't understand why everyone is having a different experience. Oh well... 2.0 vs 3.0 -- I'm trying to understand some of the differences. Other...

You derail the thread good sir.

I was just countering Peter saying there is no startup sound. I'm a programmer, so software versions are everything. You think they can't change something as simple as a startup sound?

That's it! Video will settle this... standby. EDIT: I win For the record, I've always heard this startup chime regardless of Sync version -- 2.0 or 3.0. And I get the startup sound with or without any diagnostic warnings such as my low tire or low fuel. It always happens. Perhaps there's a...

Speak for yourself. I definitely get a startup sound every time I start the car (with no problems). I always start the car before putting on my seatbelt, seeing it's so easy to push the start button while I'm getting seated. What about you?

The smell is the same as the exhaust -- sort of "rotten egg" but not really :) I just get brief moments of it inside.

So I have a 2017 and didn't really smell anything for the first year. But the past couple months, I've started noticing subtle exhaust "rotten egg" smells -- while CO is odorless, the exhaust itself definitely isn't pure CO, therefore exhaust most definitely has an odor. My observations are...

As I feared... sometimes it might work and sometimes it might just fail. Like playing roulette. That's a common problem with USB sticks... sometimes it's just the connection that is unstable, but the drive itself is likely fine. Some sticks are cheaper than others as far as construction goes...

Also somewhat related, but I have a question about touch up paint. I have three tiny rock chips on my main exterior. I have the "smoked quartz metallic" color. The chips are super tiny and white -- so it really stands out. But with the fancy metallic and tri-coat colors, you can't really do a...

Interesting. Maybe the drive became corrupt, but it could also just be a flaky drive too. Using disc management now?

Also, I've been using 3.0 for a few days now and have noticed I am once again getting traffic information -- green, yellow and red overlays, and incident icons. I thought that was something that came with Sirius. My Sirius trial expired 9 months ago. Honestly, I generally don't pay too much...

This is somewhat unlikely but possible. Usually all you do is stick the drive into your computer, and from File Explorer (My Computer) -- right click on the drive and pick Format. A quick format is perfectly fine -- it just nukes the low level index but not the entire data on the drive. USB...

8GB. FAT32's main limit is that no single file can be bigger than 4GB. exFAT has no such limitation and is more modern. Neither would be a problem for updating Sync3.

It supports both FAT32 and exFAT. They are similar formats, and Ford is able to recognize both. Mine worked fine as FAT32... but I have seen some posts where they swear they need exFAT.

Can you describe more details/patterns -- is it based on tire rotation speeds or engine RPM... does it happen in neutral or only when in gear? Is it a constant sound or more of a chirping sound?

It took me 16 minutes to install 3.0 on mine. 2.3 or any other version will likely take an equal amount of time. It could depend on the USB stick. The data involved is approximately 1.5GB.

I bought a set of 4 off amazon (us site) for $70. But then you'd have to get them installed. So it's not too bad.

My wife had an issue very similar to this on a CRV and it turned out to be a sticky caliper. It only happened in a certain speed range, and it sounded like tweeting -- based on the speed of tire rotation.

Sometimes the wired connections can be sketchy -- lightning cables are prone to dirt interference... so ensuring they are clean and even sometimes blowing dust of the female end on the iOS Device itself can help a lot. My wife has had a few troubles with this in the past because she works out a...
