    New Sync version 3.4.22251

    There are several things that need improved in sync 3 (especially on the vertical screen). So far after going through the complicated process of keeping updates current I haven't seen much (if any) improvement. Your experience may vary.

    New SYNC Version out Today (Oct. 16/22) V3.4 Build 22200

    Downloaded and updated my 2020 today. No problems until I tried to re-pair my Samsung S22. After attempting many different things I gave up and performed a hard reset. After that everything was fine again. Seems like Ford's software is a little buggy most times. Shows 3.4 Build 22200 now.

    Peeling Window Switches

    I had mine replaced for that in my 2020. They became sharp and were painful to use.

    Map Update

    I got a message saying an update was available (I had 2.20). I downloaded and updated. It now shows 2.21.

    Rearview Camera Recall 21C09

    Not sure of the build date, but I bought it in Oct 2019 so it had to have an early date.

    Is it possible to change the portrait (premium screen) back to the landscape version?

    I sure would like to replace my 10.1 vertical with the landscape also. Amazing to me what a downgrade the larger screen is! Shame on Ford for not addressing this.

    Gas Mileage in 2020+ Explorer

    My 2020 platinum V6 long running average sets at 19.2 (which includes a lot of idling while the wife is in stores). On road trips average is 24.4. I have the auto start/stop turned off all the time because it drives me crazy to go dead every time I stop for a light. I don't baby it ever. I...

    Strange Warning

    Well I did a reset and so far no more problems (fingers crossed).

    Strange Warning

    Sync version is up to date. It pops up when I put trans in drive and goes away on it's own. My sync always worked flawlessly until I had the rear camera recall performed. Since then I have some problems (nav lost, parking sensor fault & this one that I have no idea what it means). I guess I...

    Strange Warning

    Cameras work fine, except for 1 time a couple of weeks ago I got a blue screen.

    Strange Warning

    Strange warning. Anyone know what this means? Nav acted strange on trip last week. It didn't know where I was. Also had aparking assist error come up. All this since having the car in for camera recall. Oh yea, I got my first ever blue screen after the recall??

    Cargo area cover for 22 Timberline or EXT?

    I've found that the black blanket does a great job and is much easier to "install" than the factory cover I had in my 2015 Explorer.

    No, but it was early. I bought it in Oct '19.

    Rearview Camera Recall 21C09

    Well I took mine in for service last week. Had never had any camera issues. After the recall was done I have started getting intermittent blue screens. Great fix Ford!

    Auto Start-Stop Technology

    Yep, the guy from Autostartstop Eliminator informed me that the latest flash disables the device. He told me I would just need to unplug it for a couple of minutes and it would reset and start working properly again. I'm going to try that later today.

    Auto Start-Stop Technology

    I installed the A.S.S. Eliminator a couple of years ago and it has worked great up until yesterday when it started returning to the on position after restart. Curiously this just began after just getting my car back from being serviced at the local Ford dealer?? I will investigate tomorrow and...

    SYNC Build 21194 Is Released by Ford

    A shame that the smaller screen would be an upgrade, considering the size of the android auto on the 10.1. My sister in law has the small screen and it is a lot easier to use than mine.

    Auto stop stopped stopping

    If you search you can also find discount codes for the Autostop Eliminator. I hate autostop and the eliminator was one of the first things I added to my Explorer, I love having it.

    First week annoyances

    Someone suggested on another thread that it may be setup that way to prevent being locked out. I checked and they were right, all it took was to hit the unlock button and the liftgate worked fine. :oops:

    Liftgate Problems

    Wow, just had to go out and check this out. Thanks Pnewby it appears that is the answer "It is trying to prevent a lockout". Closes fine if I hit the unlock button first! A little embarrassed that I made such an issue of it now.

    Liftgate Problems

    My wife buys groceries online and I pick them up at Kroger. When I arrive at Kroger I shut off the engine, open the liftgate and after a while they bring out my groceries and put them in. When finished when I try to close the liftgate with the dash button (or the attendant tries to close it with...

    First week annoyances

    Well just got back from the dealer with the new liftgate module installed. Checked out the operation. Waste of time, same problems still exist. Not sure what to do at this point??

    What are your thoughts so far?

    This is exactly what I have found. Opening and closing the drivers door eliminates/corrects the closing of the liftgate. Crazy but true.

    Was set to buy a Palisade Caligraphy or Telluride SX Premiere, Ended up with a 2020 Platinum

    Yea, I remember looking at and driving a Telluride (certainly a nice vehicle). I looked at the sticker and there was an add on charge of $3000 for AMV. I asked the salesman what AMV was and he replied "Appreciated Market Value". I said "No thanks"

    Missing Part - Rear Air Deflector

    Had mine in for first service last week. Dealer just ordered a rear deflector and attachment parts for me. I rarely use the feature to open the tailgate with my foot, but when I do it get's it right the first time about 70% of the time.

    Power liftgate won't open or close with dash button

    I have found that mine will always open with the dash button, but at times it will not close with it unless I open and close the driver's door! :banghead:

    First Oil Change?

    I always change mine at 6000 miles with no problems.

    Overly active swipe to open/close liftgate

    From the Owners Manual: Switching the Power Liftgate On or Off: You can switch the power liftgate on or off through the vehicle settings on your touchscreen. When switched off, the liftgate only unlatches and will not power open or close. I have noticed that mine is pretty sensitive also. I...

    Tech Package Worth It? Specifically massaging seats

    I have the tech package on my platinum and I would gladly give it up to be rid of the vertical screen. The only advantage I see with the vertical screen is if you are using the Ford Nav. Everything else on the screen is a downgrade. I compared it with my sister in laws stripped down 2020...

    10.1 screen in an XLT?

    You don't want the 10" vertical screen. It is a step backward!

    Selected to meet with Ford (2020 Explorer) Engineers - INPUT NEEDED

    I am an impatient person. I sold my 2015 Explorer limited and purchased the 2020 Platinum. I really found the backup camera helpful in the 2015 Limited. Nice and large...... now with the 2020 I only get a small hard to see back up screen with an even smaller overhead next to it. I can switch...

    Auto Start-Stop Technology

    My auto start stop eliminator is supposed to be here tomorrow. Can't wait to install it. This is the most frustrating thing I have ever encountered on a car in my lifetime!
