    Shuffle turned to OFF, yet still "shuffling"

    When I play music through the USB connection with my iPod/iPhone, the music in my playlist gets shuffled even though Shuffle is definitely turned to OFF on MFT. Is there some other setting that I'm missing? This just started happening recently.

    Major problems AFTER doing Master Reset! What to do now?

    I had a couple of minor glitches (clock issues, shuffle songs stuck on),so I did a Master Reset. I've done the Master Reset before with no problems --- well not this time. I've had my car for over a year, and this particular cell phone for 7 months, and have never had a problem. Now I can't...

    My Explorer is 1 today! - but starting to buzz...

    I've been reading about the A-pillar problems on this forum. My 2011 is just starting to make a buzzing sound at the passenger side. Maybe it waited this long because I don't do a lot of highway driving? It doesn't seem to be as loud as some here describe, but it's annoying to me. Since I...

    My session with Plaza Research regarding my Explorer

    I was contacted earlier this month to participate in a paid, in-home, research session. After a couple of phone calls, they determined that I was a good candidate for this. They were especially looking for people with the MFT. The pay was $175. To make a long story short, I ended up being...

    Where do you bring your car to be serviced?

    It seems like most everyone returns to their original dealer. I've been back to my dealer for one service, however, it's not really nearby. There are other Ford dealers closer. I'm wondering if have to continue to bring it to where I purchased the car? My next visit will be for an oil change...

    Why would Sync suddenly get glitchy?

    First off, I just want to say that my Explorer is (still) running 2.4. I haven't been able to download 2.11 yet. My question is this though - why would sync be running fine for about 9,000 miles, then suddenly have issues when nothing else has changed? The problem I'm having is when I...

    Phonebook "Add a Contact" command. How does this work?

    I'm having problems with downloading my phonebook. (I wrote another thread on this). I found this instruction on the SyncMyRide website: "If you have paired your mobile phone with SYNC, but the phonebook cannot be downloaded, add contacts manually. Choose the Phone Menu on SYNC and then...

    Very Frustrating Phone Issue

    Until I can get a new cell phone, I'm using an old phone that I got from a friend. It synced fine, but I'm having problems with the Phonebook. I cannot seem to get it to download MY contacts. It will only download my friend's contacts. I deleted all of the old contacts in the phone, and...

    Continuing phone call after arriving at destination.

    I thought I read somewhere that if I am having a conversation on my cell phone using the car's bluetooth, I can continue the conversation after arriving at my destination simply by turning off the car and using my handheld cell phone. This does not seem to be working for me, so I find myself...

    Thoughts on "MyKey"

    I'm curious if anyone has used this? I'm of two minds about this option. As the parent of an 18 yr old son, at first I thought - Great idea! (not that he'll ever be driving my Ex ;) ) But then, I was wondering if we need to use this option, maybe the kid shouldn't even be driving. As in the...

    MFT w/Nav - more problematic than w/o Nav?

    When I stopped at my dealer last week, he mentioned that you are more apt to have problems with MFT if you have the Navigation installed. I've noticed several people posting with MFT issues, and am wondering if this is true. I haven't had any problems (knock on wood), and do not have Navigation.

    Dealer Survey?

    Did you all fill out the dealer survey you received after your purchase? Mine is still sitting here somewhere in kitchen. They kind of made a big deal about completing it and giving all 'top' marks. I'm waiting to fill it out because my crossbars (which came separately) arrived with a piece...

    Is there a headlamp indicator?

    I hope this isn't a dumb question. Sometimes I'm wondering if the automatic headlights have turned on or not. Such as when it's just getting darker out. Is there an indicator someplace on the dash display showing if the headlights are on or not?

    Installing SYNC updates

    I've had my Explorer for 2 weeks, and I see that there's a SYNC update available. This one: BT4T-14D546-EB Version 1.1 SYNC GEN 2 STATUS CHECKER I usually shy away from doing updates to anything - my laptop, my iPod, etc. (yes, wrong, I know). I feel like something is going to end...

    Trailer Sway Control?

    When looking through the settings on my display, I noticed that Trailer Sway is "on". Is this the default? Do I need this on if I'm not towing anything? I looked it up in the manual, and there is a highlighted WARNING section... "Turning off trailer sway control increases the risk of loss...

    Some random thoughts (and questions) on my new Explorer

    Hello! Today marks one week that I've had my new Explorer, and yesterday I made my first fuel stop to fill the tank. I purchased this one off the lot, as it had most of what I would've ordered anyway. Though this is my 4th Explorer, my most recent vehicle was a Volvo XC90 (drove for 6 years)...
