.... this is what you need ... http://www.qnx.com/solutions/industries/automotive/ Kick Microsoft to the curb already, and make the long-term move to a proper platform. Please.

Okay, I have a dumb question. I thought I had a problem with the 2nd row seats, but it may have been my misunderstanding. Getting them down I lift the handle and lower. But I had problems raising them back up; I was lifting handle but couldn't raise seat. Thought I'd have to take into...

Just throwing these out here for Ford, probably covered off elsewhere, but I wanted to make sure they were covered off in the next MFT iteration if possible ... 1) Started the car and backed up and heard static sound from back speakers. Very unusual. That stopped, and then I found that...

My wife is getting mad, and I'm becoming discouraged. In the last 4-5 days, the Explorer has done a black screen and "Scheduled Maintenance Update" approximately 8 times. A couple of times this happened while we were trying to edit the route, in navigation, but I have no way of telling if this...

Seems like every time I turn around, I find a new issue - fortunately most are minor. Can anyone confirm this .. I turned on Max AC -then arrived home and shut of Explorer. Returned a few hours later, turned it on, and while it doesn't say Max AC, the AC is blowing. Checking...

With the update, I no longer seem to be able set "home" when I'm parked in the driveway. While there are lots of other ways to set it, our drive is not at the same location as our street address. It isn't that far, but of course if I ask for Navigation to take us home, when we get there it...

I hadn't used the feature before, so when my wife sent me a text message from her cell phone and I said "reply to text message" and sure enough a list of options came up. I selected a line .... so far so good! But ..... then it sending to 555-555-1212 our home number and asked for...

Okay - I was able to replicate my issue with Navigation (at least once). Can anyone else (particularly in Canada, just in case it is different for some reason) reproduce this? 1) Start Car 2) Set Route 3) Route Guidance Starts and you hear tone and voice along route 4) THEN - in the Voice...

This was unusual. Turned the car on, put it in reverse, and the rear camera came on and "rolled" -you know like the old fashioned televisions - half picture on top, and top on bottom - or maybe it was double of the same thing? Anyway, after it slowly rolled back to a single screen, there...

So we had our Explorer Ltd upgraded for MFT and navigation. We received a letter from Ford Canada this week (finally) but no SD card of USB drive. Instead we were directed to take the car to a dealership. I called the dealership and explained and they said that something needed to be done...

I was just thinking. Ford is mailing out 300,000 of these updates that require the car to be running during install. Online I saw a comment that an average of 1 gallon is used for each hour of idling. So that means (unless you are doing it during an hour long trip) there is potentially...

My neighbours came over tonight to point out that my car had its trunk open in the driveway. The only thing I can attribute this to is the remote in my pocket being activated. That or a neighbour has the same access codes - is that even possible? Has anyone else experienced this? Is the...

I had noticed the one prior time that I had plugged in my block heater it didn't seem to make a difference - thought it was my imagination though. So the temperatures were dropping here and I plugged in the block heater and a timer last night. I came out this morning, noted the cord was lit...

Calendar Minor point, but how do you set the calendar to the right day? For some reason ours is a day off (gave us a brief scare we'd lost a day :) ), but I can't locate the setting?

So it being Xmas and all, my wife got me Seal's Soul 2 CD. Great CD if you like soul, as a reprise of great classics. Anyway .... MFT doesn't recognize the CD, or what songs it is playing? I thought perhaps it downloaded that information, but wasn't sure, and was surprised it wouldn't be on...

I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion for how to get MFT to read my text messages again? I have a Blackberry 9900, and it was able to do that out of the box. Suddenly, in the last few days, it stopped working? Tried disconnecting and reconnecting both phone and MFT, and when phone...

I heard a rattling in the passenger door on the driver's side tonight. When I checked it out I found a hex bolt (black, about 1" long and 1/8 diameter) with flange around bolt head. It was in the door pocket/storage area. Is this just a stray present from Ford, or is there somewhere in the...

1) Is there an "Occupancy Mode"? See it in the manual, but not on the screen? 2) Is the calendar syncable with a phone/gmail or other online calendar, to put actual events on it? 3) Any way to send the standard text messages (line items) other than slowing down to < 5mph? 4) I'm often ending...

Well my Explorer finally arrived so I've put about 50Km on her so far. She is tri-white, Limited, with 302A package, towing, navigation and pecan seats. I say "she" as my 5 year old daughter wanted to know who was talking and I told her Samantha - right Rebecca? :) First impressions: 1)...

The minimum ground clearance for the Explorer appears to be the same 7.6" whether its the base model with 17" tires, or the Limited with 20" tires? I don't understand. Is it just that they base the minimum on 17" tires (which means that ground clearance with 20" is just over 9") or am I...

I'm at the point where I'm ready to call my dealer and cancel the purchase of the 2012 Explorer Limited I ordered, and pay for a couple press releases as to why I'm not buying Ford - maybe that'll wake them up?! This is all due to my frustration with customer service (or lack thereof) at Ford...

I'm looking at getting a new phone to go along with my new Explorer. Has anyone tried one of the new Blackberry Bold 9900s with MFT yet?

.... hopefully it's the good type of Koolaid!:) Signed an order for a new Ford Explorer Limited, with White Platinum Metallic Tri-coat, Black/Pecan seats, 302A package, navigation and trailer package, to be delivered in December. Pricing was right, between employee pricing, dealer discount...

Help?! I'm looking to pick up a 2012 Ford Explorer Limited in Toronto area. I want to buy now while employee pricing and Costco are in effect, but not take factory delivery until early December when I hope Costco is back in effect and there will be other deals I can stack with employee pricing...
