Ford is hardly the only company using Java. American Airlines, for example - Uses java to keep all its employees connected remotely. HP, Garmin, Dell, Sony, GoDaddy - the list is endless. The Java thing on the MAC *IS* highly annoying however. Lets not confuse that as a referendum on the...

...says the guy from canada... My guess is that you are not taxing the system from a moisture standpoint. :D I have always run the air without A/C for a couple minutes when convenient before I get home - but the 'auto' setting in the new explorer I can tell is quickly breaking me of...

no clue - but I have heard of stuff like this that is supposed to help neutralize this sort of thing... heard guys on 'CarTalk' talk about these sprays before... http://www.wellworthproducts.com/tech/3011t.pdf I have absolutely no experience with any of them - so I would look into it...

Of course, its not like the vehicle is disabled, but I didn't feel like driving around with no functioning system or hands free phone nor have to leave it running while I am out somewhere so let's not split hairs over process. Again though.. Thrilled with the results.

The new Explorer is more of a 'crossover', not really the SUV that it used to be. (I have the 2013). I think space savings is the big thing. Its not going undernath the way that the gas tank is designed and there just isnt enough space in the floor with the way the rear seats fold down and...

I agree. I dont think it looks bad - it just a little bracket underneath. I test mounted my 17' Canoe on the new 2013 Explorer we have and I cant find a good spot in the rear center to tie it down. Got a nice Yakima Canoe mount kit that fits tha factory crossbars that works awesome -...

Thought I would put in my 2 cents.... I got the new 2013 explorer a few months ago, so I had the 5.3 version already loaded. I found it pretty good - and had a couple issues with it - nothing terribly tragic, more nusiances than anything... couple crashes, couple lockups, slow response &...

That is unnecessary. I think Ford will be as sucessful as they choose when determining the level of investment and priority of technology in their business. If you are suggesting a company like Ford couldnt attract top-flight, world class tech talent to MI - I would say that idea is...

USB stick. Free time, and a half a gallon of gas. Laugh. still - if it was 45 minutes before and now "< 30".. I guess that is indeed a big improvement... like 33% Makes me wonder what kind of processor is powering this system.

"This software must be better for all of us." not really..not 'must'. You could be right about it being a new full build, but maybe not. often - software is updated..sort of a hot fix to correct a bad problem that has not been fully regression tested and not ready for wide deployment. In...

30 minutes to install, really? What was it before? pardon me if I sound silly. I am new to MFT and SYNC. 30 minutes sounds crazy-long. As in 'leave the car running in the driveway for 30 minutes'? huh.

I have to test this. On the 4th of july I was at a friends house.. just a couple miles away and had to run home to pick up something. Ran home, left the car running... (Actually - not sure I left it running) ran in, got it, ran out - popped open the back inserted gear and hit the 'close'...

good info thanks!

holy crrrap. If you got T-boned and the guy was really going 80, you are lucky - though it may not feel that way with a busted back. What was he driving? Good luck for a full recovery.

"...and loud when I want it..." ...laugh. I must be getting old...

OzzieMike... your experience is close to mine.... maybe its the armor plated underwear? I found reverse pairing makes no difference for me. My iPhone always picks up calls and works - but I get an odd 'cannot connect to phone' popup window every few days - once when I start the car -...

I will grab a pic if I can - but here is a pic from a BMW forum, and you would do no worse than this... My color match is less noticable bcause it is black.. but in daylight you can obviously see a bit of a color difference. Again - I went with a fabric that was a similar texture - and...

today I learned that I cant easily just take out the 3rd row seats in my 2013 Explorer. bummer. Going on a trip and the extra space woulld have been nice. Laugh - I thought this was automatic. I rented a suburban last year (before we got the Explorer) and they just popped out. I'll add...

update: The sunvisorsolutions coverup stickers look very nice. I used the 'ebony' one. The DarkGray option was probably a closer match, but the material was very soft and fuzzy and I thought might pick up dirt. The Ebony material more closely resembles the factory material and will be easier...

I dont know. Iys brand new, but these look like they are probably heat applied *into the fabric. If they were on a smooth surface I might give it a try - but my guess is these babys are not going to come off - its melted or fused is my guess. The last thing I wasnt is streteched fabric that...

Most credit cards let you create a temporary credit card number now. One name for it is 'ShopSafe' there are others. You login to yor online cc account, and request a temporary number, credit limit and expiration date. You can then use the numberfor online shopping or where you want to keep...

visor sticker coverups. Just got a couple full sized sheets (8"x10") of this sticky fabric to cover up the warning stickers on the visors. The warning stickers - I must say - simply look huge and glaring with the black interior - not to mention being mostly useless (French, Spanish, English...

Only real problem I have had is with a 160GB iPod classic loaded up with 14,000 songs. MFT struggles with it. You need to run the insane little FORD 'Syncmyitunes' app which insultingly suggests its going to 'fix' your music library when really all it is doing is removing things it cant...

General question if I may... What is the liklihood that my Explorer (manufactured April 2013) would need this fix for a TSB that was issued Dec 2012? Im pretty sure I have the problem - just curious. I would sort of guess that Ford puts these TSB adjustments into newer builds, but I dont...

yep it is in the manual. I couldnt find it for a minute... in the index it is listed under 'Transmission' - Brake Shift Interlock (BSI). It wierd because there is a little nub in there - feels like a button or a small lever. The button is oriented and mounted towards the rear of the...
