    I have 2015 Explorer with the 3.5 L non turbo V6 and noticed that the coolant level goes down slightly over time. More specifically, it goes down about 1/2 to 1" over a three to six month period in the overflow container. I know the cooling system is a closed loop system, so I'm wondering if...

    SYNC MFT - Interesting USB Input Discovery

    With some trepidation I inserted a USB splitter into one of the USB slots, knowing that it previously showed two USBs on the screen before, USB 1 and USB 2. Long-story-short, using the splitter it now shows USB 1, USB 2 and USB 3 on the screen and they all work. My splitter actually has four...

    What I find kind of frustrating is that when using a USB with a few hundred CD's, is that every time I browse for music, once I turn the car off, I have browse from the very beginning or initial step. Browse has no memory once the car is turned off as far as I know of.

    Where is Technology Heading

    I don't think we are far away from seeing what ever you have on your smart phone being on the screen of your car. This will allow the driver to use Apps for music, navigation, etc. it will probably be electronically simpler and more effective. It's simply a matter of time IMO.
