    Alternative to Sync for wireless CarPlay and android auto, portable display.

    Like many of you I’ve contemplated doing an expensive screen swap or metra kit with a double din android head unit and the cost and complication just doesn’t make sense. Has anyone tried the carpuride or similar Amazon/eBay knock offs? (Amazon link for a 9” model)They are dash mounted Android...

    Forscan changes for larger tires?

    Hey everyone, has anyone adjusted their tire size using Forscan? I know it's in the master spreadsheet and I recall seeing it in the options to pick your tire size but i also know manually changing the values vs the as-built easy method can work better at times. Just wondering if anyone has...

    Shredded Serpentine Belt on the PIU

    I shredded the belt last night while I was out driving and thankfully made it back safely. Are these belts known to go out naturally due to idle ours or is there a typical pulley that tends to destroy these that I should be closely inspecting tonight when I get under the vehicle? Also Autzone...

    Aux port wired and enabled in Forscan, only flashes up on screen for a moment then goes back to Radio

    I finally got back around to wiring the Aux port in my civilian console to the FCDIM cable. I activated it with Forscan but upon hitting the Aux button on the radio, it flashes up a little Aux icon and then instantly goes back to the radio? Does anyone know if the radio is not detecting...

    Shifter relocation instructions?

    Anyone have detailed pictures or instructions on relocating the shifter to the console. I know I’ve seen comments that it’s been done but wondering if anyone has documented this or take. Pictures that might help. I know where to pin the connector in the console and I see there are two plugs in...

    Sealing Roof Holes, clean looking and water tight, ideas?

    Does anyone have nice clean ways to seal up holes from lights and antennas on the roof. Mine came with a number of holes that have rubber plugs and a ton of sealant oozing from all around them, it works at keeping water out but looks a little ugly. I'm not looking to weld/patch/paint the roof...

    Copy of Forscan settings?

    Does anyone have a copy of the Explorer Forscan settings that were previously posted on iCloud? Every link I have found gives me an error and I'm looking for a couple settings that I was hoping to verify against the F150 sheets.

    Power third row seat switch wiring harness?

    I’m hooking up 3rd row power seats in my explorer and have the switch and power seats with harness and module but I’m missing the wire that goes between the switch and module. Does anyone know if this is a separate harness or part of the rear harness on one equipped with these seats? I’ve dug...

    Oil catch can $30 Amazon vs $100+ name brand?

    I know you get what you pay for but for anyone who’s installed a oil catch can, Is it really worth the extra $. For what it’s worth mine is a used explorer interceptor with ecoboost but it’s beat up so throwing high $ items at it just doesn’t make too much sense but I would like to keep oil out...

    Terrain Management Addition? Canbus connection needed

    This has come up in a few threads about adding the terrain management. I’ve been digging through the wiring guide and parts guide and don’t see anything additional in terms of a module. From what I can tell the dial just needs power and the. Has two additional wires that need to access the Can...

    Ford Flex rear seats installed, need help finding 1 part

    hey everyone. I scored a full 2nd row and 3rd row set of leather seats out of 2010 flex from the local junk yard for dirt cheap. The reason for the good deal was that someone stripped most of the electrical connectors and wires that could be easily unplugged. These seats were the power third row...

    Do Mustang Wheels fit the PIU?

    Hey everyone, I'm still shopping for a PIU but while doing so, I came across a PIU with what appear to be 18" Mustang wheels from a 2013 GT. (Redirect Notice) Does anyone know if these would bolt right up or I thought they would be different bolt patterns and offsets so I was surprised to...
