My son generally lets his lapse and then, in a month or two, he starts getting offers to come back at $25 or $35 for six months.

Hoping you meant me and not MtnExplorer719. I logged in and it shows that my last update was October 5, 2015 and that I am up to date. The system shows the following information; CPU S/W version 3.08.15128.EA.10_PRODUCT Nav version 4.66.5 Map database version A7 It acted up again this weekend when I was not streaming bluetooth from my phone but was listening to the radio.

I would, but for some reason I can't send PMs.

When I started the car on Saturday morning, I got a black screen that then went to the "Performing System Maintenance" screen. I still did the master reset later that day and had no problems with the maps. Until this morning. I again had navigation faults displaying on dashboard screen and a slow map display (not repainting, unresponsive to touch) multiple times today. The only difference was that I was streaming bluetooth music and podcasts today instead of using the radio. When it has problems, it also won't respond to steering wheel controls to control forward or reverse, but those work immediately on the phone. My thoughts are that the bluetooth streaming with the map display is overloading the system. Is this a symptom of an APIM starting to fail?

Put the new card in on Monday. Last night it started giving me nav failure messages while I was driving home. This morning it froze the entire My Ford Touch system for a couple of minutes. When it finally came back, navigation didn't work. I know the card reader is fine because my A4 card worked while I was waiting the two weeks for my replacement to show up. I'll try a master reset (again) this weekend, but after my last A7 card experience, I'm not holding out much hope for it. If that doesn't work,. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I don't want to have to keep paying even MORE money to get replacements and keep trying them until I get one that works.

I had the same problem with my A7 card failing after a couple of months. Some emails back and forth with HERE customer service got me an RMA. I received my replacement last week (too late for my trip) and put it in yesterday.

Turbo: $1425 All Parts: $1644 (gaskets, sensors, etc) Labor: $674 Labor:

$2000 for the turbo. Plus cost of any other parts they replace.

I didn't say anything about that. I was only replying to "your husband is stuck in the 80's" statement above. And we don't know if they are more or less prone to failure unless they get reported. When I bought my Edge, the only thing I really had to go on in terms of reliability what Ford's talk about designing them for 150,000 miles. On the boards here we now have two cases of them failing before that. I'm just trying to give someone who is looking at it more information. Would I buy an ecoboost again? Probably. I wouldn't rule it out because of this.

I did change the oil at the recommended intervals. However, the turbos aren't cooled with oil. Per a Ford press release: "The EcoBoost approach eliminates several customer worries from previous turbocharger applications. Designed for long-life reliability, EcoBoost's turbochargers feature water-cooled bearing jackets. This architecture is designed to prevent oil "coking" that could occur in previous-generation turbochargers. The new design means that EcoBoost drivers don't need to observe special operating precautions, such as idling the engine before switching it off. The turbochargers are designed for a life cycle of at least 150,000 miles or 10 years." I don't think an extended warranty would have helped with this becuase I'm at 106,000.

Based on my experience the past week, if you get one, be prepared. I'm replacing my turbo at 106,000 miles. This after replacing three other parts that are related to it failing (P0299 apparently code covers a lot of things). There is NO reason it should have failed this early.

Did you install the Austrailian version?

I've also had some problems with my iPhone and bluetooth after updating to 9.3. I haven't played with it enough to figure out what is the trigger, but I get disconnects from blue tooth for audio and I get my phone ringing without it going through sync. Other times it works fine. I just did the 9.3.1 update so I'll see if that makes any difference or not.

I just use Siri to handle the text messaging.

Saw that Apple released 9.2.1 to developers yesterday. Hope it's fixed in that.
