    Paint coming off parking sensor?

    I did get mine repaired under warranty as well.

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    Yeah, Banner did mine too. Not sure Quirk will do it though.

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    Are you sure Quirk was the seller? I don't think anyone has reported buying from them, and I'm not even sure if they do activations over the phone. The reseller that several people here have used is Banner. Now that Benny can activate over the phone, he's your best bet.

    Installing aftermarket DVD headrests

    These are the iPad mounts that I have. They're fantastic. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GLDT3P8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Installing aftermarket DVD headrests

    iPads can be useful in some circumstances, but my kids watch live TV on the headrests, which isn't really possible with iPads. I much prefer that to having to switch DVDs constantly or having to pick a bunch of movies ahead of time to load onto iPads.

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    That's not even the old kit. It looks like that's some kind of kit for adding a full remote start system to a vehicle that doesn't already have it at all.

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    I did, and I received the correct kit. They probably just made a mistake with yours. Their phone number is listed on their Amazon profile page.

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    The link is right, but it sounds like they sent you the wrong kit. Check with the seller to be sure.

    Paint coming off parking sensor?

    Did they repaint it or just swap out the sensor surround?

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    No, and I find that annoying too. Not sure why the setting for disabling the horn when using the fob doesn't also apply to the App. I hope they change that.

    No status bar for music tracks?

    My 2013 Limited still has it. Maybe it was removed for 2014?

    No status bar for music tracks?

    Is there any way to see how long the song is in addition to how much time has elapsed? My Jeep with Uconnect shows both, but I'm guessing MFT doesn't?

    Paint coming off parking sensor?

    Thanks Crystal. It's got about 20k miles on it.

    Paint coming off parking sensor?

    I was washing the Explorer yesterday when I noticed the paint is all coming off the plastic recessed part that surrounds the parking sensor that's on the driver's side front bumper corner. Now you can see the white plastic underneath it. Has anyone else sen this problem? I assume it should...

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    I'm all for adding more functionality to the app as long as they don't raise the price. Chrysler charges $20 a month to be able to use their app, which is a ludicrous price. I'm fine with the $50 a year that Ford charges.

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    Yeah, if it works it doesn't really matter where it is. I left the shock sensor disabled on mine. I didn't really see a need for it, and didn't want to deal with false alarms.

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    Yeah, that's totally different. I see that those directions have you mount both boxes under the driver's side dash instead of behind the glove box. The VSS key programming process outlined in those directions was not required with the packaged kit.

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    Really? So you ran the harness around to the drivers side and plugged it into the OBD II plug under the steering wheel? Did it come with directions that detailed that? That seems odd because it would need to be unplugged to use the OBD port for any diagnostics. Must be a different version...

    I just got 2 emails from Ford Remote Access. The first says: "Thank you for being a valued Ford Remote Access customer. We are writing to advise you that your subscription for 2013 Explorer will end in -58 days on February 25, 2014." The second says: "Your subscription for 2013 Explorer...

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    There is no additional key fob. The alarm will activate/deactivate when you lock/unlock the car with your existing key fob or smartphone app.

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    Yes, there are 2 different security system. The system that comes installed from the factory is only supports one-way communication and does not have a shock sensor. EVERY new install of the Remote Access Unit also requires the new Security System unit as well unless that unit was already...

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    Yes, your Sport has the 100 series alarm, which only supports one-way communication and does not have a shock sensor. You need the kit, which includes the 200 series alarm unit and the remote access unit. I don't believe there is such thing as an Explorer that comes with a 2-way 200 series...

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    Yes, but you can buy them together in a kit and save some money. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CDURGNO/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The Remote Access Unit will not work without the VSS. However, you don't have to use the alarm functionality of the VSS if you don't want...

    Remote start smart phone app ?

    Benny, out of curiosity, why can't you activate the SIM card over the phone? That kinda puts a damper on ordering the kit from you since it's useless without activation, and a local dealer would almost certainly charge for activating the SIM if it wasn't purchased from them. You might want...
