Anyone, Bueller???

For the past 3 months, we have been experiencing a low vibration from the gas pedal and steering wheel in our 06 EB Explorer. The vibration "feels" like it is coming from something under the hood. It feels as though in addition to the normal sound/feel of the engine, there is another motor going...

...or download from MyFord.com for FREE You can also register with the My Ford website (you need to enter your VIN) and then you will have access to download a PDF of your vehicles' owners manual. (I tried uploading the 06 EB EX owners manual PDF here, but the upload failed - maybe too big?)...

Not an issue for me.. Mine came out failry easily, but I have to agree with the previous poster who stated that the area behind the radio is tight. It is very possible that the wiring cables plugged into the back of the radio are hooked onto something else. There is some sort of...

Thank you all Especially Aaron for the legal info. Anyone know what the process would be? I mean would the dealer try to fix the radio first, or would they just look at it, verify the problem, and just order a new one under warranty? (It would be nice to hear from any dealer service techs...

Ever since attempting to install an AUX box (PXDX2) to my 6CD/Mp3 factory radio, the CD loader no longer works. Now I don't think this is something I can fix, as I have tried all the standard attempts at "resetting" the radio (re-seat fuse, disconnect battery) and nothing works, still can't...

Ever since my failed attempt at installing an AUX box (Peripheral PXDX2 - did not work, possibly defective, yet to be determined), my 6CD player does not work. Prior to this, the 6CD player worked fine. I must add that I did disconnect the battery during this attempted installation, in case...

Got it! Thank you! For accuracy's sake, within the Message Center, this feature is called Easy Entry.

My 06 Eddie front bucket seats are both electric. Recently, after programming the seat preferences via the SET 1-2 button on the console, my driver seat acts funny. Everytime I get back into the truck, it moves into position. And everytime I get out of the truck it moves position. How do...

Read all about it! Yea, thanks, but I am having a problem with the PXDX2 box, which is identical to the device in your link. Read all about my nightmare here >> http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208330 I have read on a Ford Fusion forum other owners who have had...

Subconciously, your decision has been made... You asked this question in a Ford Explorer forum! I have read MOST of the repsonses, and quite expectedly, most feel you should keep the Explorer. That's kind of like asking a Republican or Democrat who they're gonna' vote for; ya' kinda know that...

Sirius Sportster NOT the problem Peripheral support stated that the Sirius Sportster would not interfere since it is using FM modulation, and not hardwired into the stereo. I thought so, just wanted confirmation. I am shipping the PXDX2 back to the ebay seller I got it from for an exchange...

Trying to add AUX input to my stereo I am trying to add AUX input for MP3 player (NOT IPOD!!!) use with my factory Ford radio. I believe I have the "Audiophile" system. Most of the AUX adapters sold on the Internet (there are MANY sites) list a CAN-BUS radio as a requirement for use with...

Uhh...what? Mike, no offense, but can you elaborate or explain yourself a little better than this? By "trottle", do you mean THROTTLE? What wire? Please follow up....

OK, I found a site that EXPLAINS can-bus, but just want to confirm if my 06 Eddie utilizes this technology. Does it? Maybe I just didn't see it, but I could not find anything in the manual! http://canbuskit.com/what.php

MP3s on CD Yeah, thanks. I was aware of that. I really don't want to do that legwork cuz you still have to burn CDs and manage your library via your computer (which tunes are on Car Tunes CD1?, which tunes are on Car Tunes CD2?, etc). That would kill the point of dumping thousands of...

Wow!! For the record, I do not have a Navigation system in my O6 Explorer. Maybe I am a complete idiot or something, but by "NAV" system, you do mean a factory system that includes a screen for GPS navigation? If so, then I definitely DO NOT have that. (If you mean that little compass...

Peripheral support Emailed Peripheral and according to the facts, it is their opinion that my PXDX2 device is defective. I am sending it back to the Ebay seller for exchange. What a friggin' bummer... Letcha' know how install number 2 goes.

Dude, you are getting a bit hung up on the word "lame" Seriously. Let's examine Mark's staement, shall we? "If it's only ipod compatible that's really lame. A standard mini jack must cost around 25 cents so I can't understand why all radio mfrs just don't put the darn thing on standard!"...

If you want the gory details please check out this thread... http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194470 To get to the point, after hooking up my PXDX2 aux box to my stereo, it seems to drive my CD changer batty. It will work for a few seconds as the AUX source for my MP3...

You misread Mark's comment wharriso, I don't think Mark meant to call your setup lame. Moreso, he meant that if your setup is ONLY Ipod compatible, then that would be lame because you would not be able to use a non-Ipod mp3 player with your system. Again, that would squash your plans to try...

Dip switches, Sirius DLP?? Wow, I found out ALOT of stuff tonight on what MAY BE the issue here. Check this link, on a Ford Fusion site, another PXDX2 user with my exact problem, but the thread never resolves the issue. http://www.fordfusion.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3106 Now check...

Problems...arrrrrrgh! OK. In case you don't live in the NY/NJ/CT metro area and haven't heard, we got hit with 6-8 inches of snow todayWith plenty of sick days available to me, I decided to avoid my commute and call out. After snowblowing my pathways, driveway, and helping neighbors, I decided...

Wharrio, do you use Ipod? and.... Rhapsody To Go service is NOT compatible w/Ipod. So if I were you, I'd pick up a 2 or 4gb Sansa device, which you can get for $50 - $100 on ebay or anywhere really. On another note (remember what started this thread?), my PXDX2 box arrived today and I am...

Also try Ebay! I believe I did see a manual for your model on Ebay for $10. I was in the same boat as you, bought a used 2006 EB Explorer from a dealer and they didn't have a 2006 Owner's Manual. However, they had plenty of 2007 Owner's Manuals and gave me one. They stated the 06/07 models...

Regarding Rhapsody Yes I am a Rhapsody to Go subscriber, and I love it. I have found so much great new music this way (also heard alot of junk). I only wish they had a yearly or multiple year plan instead of a flat $15/month. However, I have had issues syncing the Sansa and the Zen at times...

How did you "mount" your MP3 player? I am planning on doing the same setup, as I have a Sansa (6GB), and also a Creative Zen Vision M (30GB). In the picture, is your Sansa "hooked" onto the console with velcro? How is it hanging there, nice and out of the way?

Thanks everyone, I think I got it now. 4x4 Auto - Only need to press to get from 4x4 hi or lo, back to Auto. 4x4 kicks in when better traction is needed, otherwise the "standard" is Rear-wheel 2WD. 4x4 Hi - Use only on extended wet or snowy conditions, such as during a snow or rain storm...

I have the following three buttons on the center console of our 06 EB Explorer: 4X4 Auto, 4X4 Hi, and 4X4 Lo. My question is what is the difference between each setting? What are the speed recommendations for each setting? What kind of gas mileage can be expected in 4X4 mode? Also what...

Rustoleum, WD40 suggestions Thanks for all the aforementioned suggestions, I was planning on doing something like this. Moreso, I wanted to find out how common this issue (??) is amongst other Explorer owners, especially on a relatively new model. I will try to post pictures, maybe even...

Canadian Snow? This is a longshot, but could ALOT of snow on the front floor of the cabin have caused this? I have no idea if the metal under the seats would be coated (assume NOT) or just painted metal, so this is just a theory. I should also point out that the rust is only in spots, and...

We recently purchased a used '06 Eddie Bauer Explorer. I have noticed that the base of the front bucket seats is rusted. Now, BEFORE, we purchased this vehicle, we ran a CarFax, and the vehicle came up clean - no flood damage, no accidents. However, we did find out that the vehicles sole...
