If you're referring to the UAS latches, don't use them. Install the seats with the car's seat belts. Pull them all the way out to activate the retractor and buckle it in then feed it in as tight as you can while you are kneeling on the child's seat with all your weight.

I live right across the river from you and drive on the expressway every day. No noise in mine.

Congrats on your new ride.

There are many things you can put under the child seat to protect your vehicle seat. I was a child seat technician instructor for a few years so I know my way around car seats. Just make sure you secure the child seat tightly enough that you can't move it more than 1" side to side when completed. I used towels in my FX35 and although there was an indentation, it did come out after a while.

That had me LOL very loudly!!

Update: I attended the dealer today and got the update loaded. Good bye night light!! Everything is perfect on it now.

Hey Newbie...welcome to the forum. There's lots of good information here.

Good point. Mine goes in Friday to get the update. The night light is the only problem I'm having with it right now.

Wilson, I'm relieved to hear your saga is over. I'm going in to get my update on Friday. I hope I don't have any issues afterward. The only thing I'm dealing with now is the night light.

For Canadians, Cosco membership gets you $1000. off after taxes. Carcostcanada is a website you can subscribe to for $50 and you get dealer cost pricing on up to 10 cars. I use it and knew the bottom line cost on the MKX before I went in to make my deal.

I couldn't agree with you more. The radio voice controls are amazing. Changing back from radio to USB to Sirius is effortless. There needs to be voice control for both the seat heaters (as well as the coolers) in addition to the steering wheel. I'm hoping there will be an app developed that can do it or perhaps addressed in an update to Sync. Now, as far as being distracted, come on...women drive while putting on makeup and yackking on their phone at the same time and men can eat a 3 course meal and shave going down the highway and kids text their life story behind the wheel. The reviewers completely missed the point about how this LESSENS the distractions once you know the system and how it works. The reviewer did not take the time to learn the system thereby giving it an honest chance. Shame on them.

2 things come to mind. #1 is the dealer allotment. It is a hot selling car so he may have used up his allotment for this month already? #2 is that the 3.7 V-6 is also used in Mustang and F150 so I heard there is a shortage on them. That sounds like a long time to wait.

My 3.7 V-6 does it too. I am curious to see if it quiets down when I change over to Amsoil full synthetic.

Thanks for the warning about that. With my usual level of impatience, I might have pulled it prior to allowing it to finish. I have an appointment Friday morning to get my dealer Sync update done. I'll do this one this weekend then.

Another item for the new model makeover wish list by the sounds of it.

Congrats on your new ride. Make sure you post up pics when you're done your mods.

Awesome post 11088, thanks!

I don't want to rain on Shane's parade, but I would suggest you register on a few detailing forums. Live2detail (on which I'm a mod) or detailingbliss are 2 very good ones that will probably have detailers or enthusiasts in your area who could help you out hands on. Plus you'll get a ton of ideas and see videos and whatnot of processes, tools, etc. Detailing can be very rewarding if you learn the basics. Duragloss protection and Meguiars polishes (namely 105 and 205) are great, great products.

Congrats on your new ride! You may experience some issues with your MFT system but there is a new version of Sync out, so make sure your car has it. If you register on syncmyride.com you can check your version to see if it is the most up to date there is.

I would highly doubt it and is probably something that few aftermarket companies are selling as of yet. You have a different set of steering wheel buttons to control it too.

Hockey, I think your observations of this review are spot on. Although I did not read it and just read your synopsis, your comments are quite valid. The reviews I had read about the duo before buying mine all talked about the inadequate brakes and engine power. Overlooking these very important factors goes to show that the reviewer was single minded in his focus on the MFT system. I can see blasting it in the one pertinent section but the overall score should be reflective of the whole car.

I've yet to recommend it to anyone who has not fallen in love with it. At this time of year, it's a godsend.

It talks about it when in accessory mode if I recall. Also, I think the lights won't stay on longer than 10 minutes once the ignition is turned off.

Congrats on your new ride. Happy New Year to you too!

That's kinda what I assumed. Maybe the BAMR? The MKT also has that roof as well so maybe that isn't it. Here's hoping I never roll it.
