  1. Anyone know or experienced the Navigation Maps when in Mexico?
  2. Is it with both keys? if so it has something to do with the system, if it is only one of the key fobs, then I would try a new battery. and No I have not had any issues.
  3. I put my good sunglasses (which are in a case) in there, have also put parking ticket (when at the airport) back there
  4. just guessing, but what may have happened is that when your "latest" version was loaded, they did not pass the successful update back to syncmyride site. If you have done an update from Sync there are 3 steps, download the update to thumb drive, load update in car, then come back to sync sight with USB plugged into computer and acknowledge the update was successful, I think when you click the update status button , the usb drive you used passes the status back to sync.
  5. you can go to syncmyride.com and your vehicle should be registered. When you login and go to the updates link, it will show you what is loaded and the versions. It will also show you any availabe updates that you may need.
  6. well if you are not going to "sport drive" then it may depend more on he terrain where you drive. I don't sport drive but do drive in the mountains and even areas in Colorado where you are climbing hills. I have the limited, but the select shift is very nice when climbing hills and you don't want the fully auto, upshifting and downshifting all the time depending on the grade.
  7. I just got back from a trip to my Dealer. Totally unrelated, but while there I asked the Service Manager about their experience with the update. He asked about what issues I was having. I have been one of the lucky ones and have very few issues and none recently, (sound is me knocking on wood). He said the update has fixed issues for many and created other or new issues for some. His recommendation was NOT to get the update unless I was having serious issues. He felt it best to wait for an update to the update. I know many of you HAVE had serious issues and I suppose for those, doing the update makes sense. Curious if anyone else has had a similar recommendation from their dealer. I was going to wait for a while anyway since my issues are few. Guess I will be waiting longer now. Only wanted to add that he said it MAY be fine or it MAY create problems I did not have previously.
  8. 2 other possible factors, first Is resale. Which of the two versions would have better resale, that may make the expense not quite as much in the long run. Second, is that Besides being better in snow, in my opinion it is also better on ice.
  9. I have no issues with the distance, one poster here says it works in a parking garage at her work from 15 floors above the garage. There are reports in this forum of it working to 300 + feet.
  10. Congratulations!! I haev one and absolutely love it. You will find that some folks have had issues, mine are relatively minor and I can live with them until Ford comes out with the fixes, which by the way there is one that is out with varying results. Very happy with the purchase.
  11. Congratulations!! Had my Limited AWD for about 3 months. Absolutely love it. THe car is one of the most fun to drive I have ever owned. All the gadgets do keep it different. I have everything on it but the rear video and see the value in each. Love the remote start, and all the radar features, Vista Roof or as they call it here the BAMR. In regards to the Ambient Lighting, as I recall it is standard on the Limited and though I don't switch colors very often, love the lighting effect. In terms of self park, unless I missed something, it is not an option. It has the rear backup alert and the rear camera that aids in parking or backing up. But do not believe it will parallel park by itself as some cars do.

  13. when I paired my phone the first time it just did it. I have made changes in my address book and noticed that my "phonebook" in the car is up to date each time I go to use it.
  14. anybody have any idea as to if there is correct sequence for updating?, i.e. do the sync update, then the dealer or vice-versa? or even if it makes a difference. Some types of software update require it done in proper sequence, just wondering if that applied to the Ford/Sync updates.
  15. I will fight paying for fix tooth and nail. THey call it a update but I have not heard of any additional functionality, only supposed fixes to bugs. Being in the software industry, we do not charge for TB fixes, only version updates that provide more functionality. Yes, version updates normally include some fixes, but it generally provides more functionality as well. Heck, even Microsoft does not charge for within release updates. ps this is the edited part. I thought there was a technical bulletin issued for this fix, to me that says bug fix.
