    2014 Sport - Rear view mirror sensor?

    Hey guys, Anyone know what the sensor behind the rear view mirror is for? If looking at the mirror from the drivers seat, the sensor is on the back towards the bottom left. I realized I have it covered pretty well with my radar detector placement and am wondering what I may be screwing up if...

    Possible to "code" The explorer?

    Hey guys. So with our other new car - a 15 M3, I was introduced to 'coding' to alter some of the systems behaviors of the car. I.E. making it possible to raise the windows from the key FOB, removing disclaimers on the nav screen etc etc - very cool stuff. I am wondering if there is any...

    Beat a silly Q5, but is my Trans about to break??

    I was planning to make 2 separate posts but figured I would just put it all in 1. Early last week, I am minding my own business cruising down a random street in San Francisco on my way home. Some guy in a newer Audi Q5 is coming up zipping through traffic a bit (not much traffic) but I could...

    Replacment PCM/Engine/Vehicle Main Computer

    Hello all, Wondering if the "computer" that gets reprogrammed with SCT or LMS tuners and the like is a unit that is physically replaceable. I am thinking not since I cannot locate any vendors that sell new or used "computers" for the vehicle but just figured I would ask.

    Disabling Airbags and inflatable seatbelts

    Curious if there is a "safe" and full proof way to disable airbags and such from accidental deployment while working on the vehicle. I have a 14 Sport but I suspect it'd be the same for all model Explorers across same feature sets at least. IS it as simple as pulling fuses and if so, has anyone...
