I can't take credit for the individual artwork, but I put everything together today while home sick from work. I've been thinking about the concept for a year or so now. I'm pretty happy with the results. Tony

Hey, everyone. I've been using an iPod Touch in my 2017 Explorer Sport with the Sony system, as well as my previous 2015 Explorer Sport with the Sony system. As glitchy as both Sync systems were, each for different reasons, the one thing that has worked pretty much flawlessly is the voice...

Hey, everyone! Just wanted to share my audio build. I've been doing my own systems since I was 16 years old in 1987. I've done 5 entire system replacements and dozens of substantial updates to every car I've owned. My 2001 Nissan Maxima and I were featured in CarDomain magazine back in the...

New owner of a 2017 Sport, which involuntarily replaced my 2015 Sport after it was totaled. The 2017 is a Canadian model if that matters, the '15 wasn't. Dear Ford Engineers: 1) Do not EVER allow my Explorer's engine to automatically shut off. EVER. If I start my car, run the darn engine...

So I recently replaced my 2015 Sport with a 2017 Sport. And I'm a little frustrated that I can't turn off the LED headlights!!!! The things auto manufactures do that limits what I can or can't do with my vehicle is getting ridiculous. Don't even get me started on cutting power after a few...

Hey, everyone. I just purchased a 2017 Explorer Sport and last night I noticed the instrument lights are not consistent. It's hard to tell from the photo here, but the lights for the speedometer are MUCH dimmer than two surrounding gauges. And the 0, 60, 80 and 140 mph numbers are brighter...

Recently purchased a 2017 Sport to replace my 2015 Sport. I'm not digging how blue the OEM low beams are, they make my eyes strain too much especially when they're reflected against traffic signs. I've done a search, can't find anything. What color temperature are the LED low beams? I...

Hey, everyone. I've been the extremely proud owner of a 2015 Explorer Sport for the last 6 years. It was totaled last month with only 37K miles. I test drove a 2017 Sport today with 25K miles and was extremely disappointed with the handling. My '15 handled WELL, even with the original cheap...

Hey, everyone. I just bought a new (used) car and have an engine light. Can I plug the Livernois performance tuner for my 2015 Explorer Sport into the OBD port on my new car (Saab) to diagnose the engine code? I know I could just try it out but wanted to ask first, just in case I'm about to...

One of my gripes (and there's not many) in my '15 Sport is that the turn signal lever is very confusing and takes too much of my attention when switching lanes, especially more than once or when quickly switching from one direction to the other. I really don't like having the stalk return to...

I'm applying some sound deadening materials where the stock subwoofer used to be and took the third-row seatbelt out so I could have room to work. But now I can't get it released so I can put everything back together. It just locks when I try to pull on the buckle. I've tried it at all sorts...

Does anyone know if the auto-dimming side mirrors from the Limited can be easily retrofitted onto the Sport? I'm tired of being blinded by traffic behind me. $50K for a vehicle that doesn't have this as standard equipment? Come on, Ford!!! Tony

I can't seem to find anything online that will let me hear our Xsports with an aftermarket intake. I realize we'll get more turbo sound, and possibly some more air whoosh, but I was hoping to hear some actual driving with an intake before I decide if I want to spend the money. Anyone know of...

I've got the Sony system with the Sony subwoofer. I recently put in a Stealthbox and I'm very underwhelmed. This is the 4th Stealthbox I've owned and this one is the worst. I'm not sure if it's bad placement of the box itself, or the limitations of the OEM system but no matter what settings I...

Did a search. Zero results. For those of you with the various tunes, (Livernois, etc.) does the tune improve the lazy downshifts when using the paddle shifters? In other words, does the tune change it so you get a blip to the throttle to rev match? I called Livernois and got a fairly...

Did a forum search. Zero results. Anyone know of a stiffer rear sway bar that might be available for our XSports? Tony

Love my Explorer Sport! Really dislike the turn signal lever! I was hoping others could chime in with their experiences or advice. I miss the traditional lever that stays in the position you put it in until it clicks off, that way I always know what's happening. I get constantly confused and...

When I'm driving around town and go from lightly depressing the gas pedal to easing up, there's a "click" that comes from the pedal when letting up. Only did it every once in a while and now it's doing it pretty much all the time. Anyone else notice this? Tony

In the driver settings on the LCD panel on the far left, under "tow mode" I think, I'm constantly checking the option box to OFF. However, it seems to default to the checked on position every time I look. I think in my driver's manual it said something about tow mode making the vehicle handle...

Been noticing that my BLIS warns me when a car is in my blind spot when often, there's not. Also, although not as often, it doesn't warm me when there IS a car there. I'm about ready to shut it off. Anyone else experiencing any issues? Tony

Did a search. Zero results. The cross traffic alert on my XSport is screwball. About 50% of the time it gives me false alarms with no evidence of any traffic near me, both to the right and left. So basically I ignore it, which defeats the purpose. Is this normal? Are others having...

After changing the oil in my '15 Sport the other day, I was about ready to pat myself on the back and thank Ford for one of the easiest oil changes ever. Then I started putting the cooling shield back on... When I removed the shield I had to use pliers to get these little bolts out. Whoever...
