We picked ours up Monday - Limited with 302A package.
So far, I am very happy with it. I enjoy driving it (I've driven it about 100 miles so far). I like how it looks and have had no serious problems.
I am someone who uses computers all the time so I'm not thrown by the MFT. I can certainly see how people that I know who are less technologically ...adept could have issues.
I've read a lot of the materials and watched the DVD they gave me and also watched a lot of the Youtube videos. Still, it is a lot to remember so I know there is stuff I still need to learn.
When I picked it up at the dealership (everything else before that by email) and the MFT system came up they took the position that the only problems with it are users not knowing how to use it. They did spend some time going over it with me.
On a positive note, I really like the audio options. I had satellite radio in my prior vehicle but this one is much better. I love the alert function and like how you can change easily between different types of audio.
I like how you can see the navigation turns on the right instrument cluster (by the way when I test drove the vehicle I asked the salesman if you could and he said not it wasn't possible! The dealership had a policy of taking out the navigation cards until the vehicle was purchased so I couldn't test it for myself).
On the left cluster, it is nice to be able to see miles to empty but I wish there was an option to see the speed in digital format. Yes, I know there is an analog speedometer but I would prefer to also have the option to see the speed in digital.
On the one hand, I've had no serious MFT problems. But, there have been some issues, some of which may be me not understanding the details yet.
1. When I got back in yesterday after work and plugged my iPhone into the connector attached to the USB port the system didn't recognize it. I had to unplug everything and plug it back in several times before it did.
2. MFT system seems a little sluggish at times. It is OK, but not as responsive as I would like.
3. The biggest issues have been with voice commands. When I wanted to use voice to switch the temperature I constantly had problems with getting the system to understand the word climate. I tried lots of different ways of saying it but it took about 10 attempts! Way faster to just reach over to middle and manually change the temp.
4. One thing I am confused about. I need to go look it up. When I have the navigation map up and don't intend to set a destination (because I am going somewhere I don't need directions) and then try to use a voice command it won't let me do anything other than set a destination. The system has said, for example, that phone is always active but if I have the map up I can't make a call. I have to switch the screen to something other than the map to be able to use voice commands to do anything other than set a destination.
5. The navigation system seems a little questionable. I was trying to add a destination by voice using intersection and I was very surprised that it couldn't find the location. I was trying to find an intersection with I-10. I tried saying Katy Freeway (what it is locally called), I-10, Interstate 10, Interstate Highway 10 and a couple of other things and it kept saying it couldn't find it. It was recognizing the words just not finding the highway. I can't figure out what it would call it other than one of the above. This is frustrating as this is a major highway.
6. Just for curiosity while I was driving on I-10 to work I tried to add as a destination my saved address for work. I've done that route on my Garmin that I was using in my old vehicle and it has never had problems taking me there. The Explorer navigation system actually wanted me to exist off the freeway and go through a very convoluted and illogical path through residential areas rather than going there on the freeway (no, I didn't have it selected to do shortest distance route). When I didn't exit at the suggested place, it then wanted me to take a right on another residential street. However, I couldn't have done that if I want to as that street was under the freeway. It didn't realize that I couldn't get there from where I was.
