Will be interesting to see if this becomes the new MFT and if we get updated. Time will tell.

For those who care. Apple will release iOS 8.1 Monday October 20th. The Bluetooth issues should be fixed with this release. (Fingers Crossed).

Happy Hump Day All. So here is some information for peeps still fighting the MFT/Apple iOS8 wars. With some testing I have been able to repeat breaking and repairing the MFT connection with both iPhone 5s and 6 Plus. All the reported issues seem to arise when the phone is logged into iCloud...

The fix may come very soon. I say this for 2 reasons. First, Apple is making their announcement of the new iPads tomorrow. I received a call from my Apple Business manager this morning about the announcements. Apple Pay is part of the hype if you will and is going to require iOS 8.1. Second...

Consider yourself lucky and do not be disappointed if it suddenly rolls over and plays dead. I did notice that iCloud has something to do with it. Mine worked fine until I turned on iCloud to get some pictures off my phone I needed for work and then it died BT wise. Reports seem to be all...

As mentioned in an earlier post there is a similar thread on the issue. Again keeping short this is an Apple issue having to do with iOS8 and more prevalent with the iPhone 6 series. 8.0.2 did not fix the issue. It looks like 8.1 which is reported to be the solution is being confirmed by...

Yes, it is a control issue. Another example is trying to use Sync Services to download a route. It will access the phone, and dial SS but then report connection lost even though the call is physically active. I do have an iPhone 5s with iOS 7 and everything works fine. I have clients that...

Well again FWIW Using an Apple iPhone, especially with iOS 8 and/or the iPhone 6 series running iOS 8 is not a valid check of MFT functionality. I have both a 5s and a 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2 and both have every issue that has been mentioned in threads on this site. And the issues are the...

Actually, that dealer issued plates is already in effect for larger dealers. The plates for my new 2015 Explorer were delivered by the dealer. They actually have staff. The inventory manager said it is still an optional program and most high volume dealers are moving to it. Willy in Cali

iOS 8.0.2 was released this afternoon. Based upon information I got from one of my Apple corporate clients, this release should fix a multitude of sins including bluetooth connectivity to devices such as wireless headsets and devices such as MFT. As stated in a earlier post 8.0.1 was pulled...

I have an iPhone 5s running iOS8 as well as the new 6plus. Both are functioning fine on my '15 Explorer with MFT. Try clearing all Bluetooth connections from your phone shut down and restart your iPhone and then re-pair to your Explorer.

The Ford Store Morgan Hill. I own a Franchise based business and ordered a new 2015 Explorer through our Franchise coordinated leasing company. The Ford Store agreed to accept and deliver my new vehicle and has treated me the same as if I had purchased it through them. I am in Calif and this...

Glad you got it worked out. You'll enjoy the app. Best wishes

Installed my Cellular Remote Access today. I ordered the two parts from Benny at Levit Town Super Center before my Explorer even arrived. The dealer turned on Remote start in the software for me for free because I waited for delivery from Last Thursday to this Tuesday because they were...

It is an option that can be turned on OR off in the IDS software. For some silly reason in the US when the order is placed in order to select the option a fleet number has to be entered for it to be accepted. I have been looking at maybe adding LED DRL's so asked the service guy when I...

So I promised when my 2015 Explorer XLT came in I would post how the DRL's were programmed. Most thought they would come as the amber Parking/Turn lamps. Well I am very happy to report they came as reduced power projector. In the US to order the Explorer with DRL you have to have a Fleet...

So the wait is over. I picked up my New XLT this evening. Only had time to drive it home and do a quick once over as have reports to write tonight. Its every bit what I expected and YES that NEW CAR smell is wonderful. I'll post pictures soon. I want to thank everyone on the site for...

Look at post #197 in this thread. Benny posted 2 links to the parts needed to be installed for the smart phone app remote start. one of the links also has the install instructions for those modules. Best of luck.

There was a recent notice Ford was giving Free brake pads but you pay the labor. Wonder if this is part of the reason???

That looks like a kit someone put together for the remote start. From your picture it looks like you got the VSS, the extended antenna which from what I have been told you only need if you have the 2 way remote fobs. It also looks like you may have a hood switch kit as well. On my VSS the...

LOVE that red. Wish I could have ordered it but mine has to be white as it gets a logo wrap for my business. Mine is at the dealer and I should be picking it up tomorrow. Happy Exploring all

Sorry to hear your having issues. As NEWPORTNJ said in a previous post contact Crystal here is the link http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/private.php?do=newpm&u=157968 She is with Ford Service and is a great asset to all of us.

So does anyone know if the brackets that attach to the shock towers for the 70 MPH crash rating are available and maybe a part number?

Thanks for sharing...

So based on your info do you think we will see QNX in 2015 or will it roll out with the 2016? I have always thought it would be ideal if a system such as MFT was developed in a manner that made it just an extension of what ever device the owner used be it IOS, Android, Windows, etc. MFT...
