2013 Ford SYNC 3.8 and Google Nougat Capabilities
akirby replied to tloewenberg's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
It's most likely a phone setting. On the iphone you have to access the bluetooth connection on the phone once sync is connected and enable notifications. Check all the bluetooth options and connection settings. Does your voip service simply place a normal phone call to your mobile phone or does it come in via a voip app on the phone? -
ford warranty not good nationwide!!
akirby replied to Ghannan's topic in Dealership & Vendor Experiences
Dealers are independent businesses and in this case Ford is stuck in the middle. They would have to pay the second dealer to do the same repair then try to recover what they originally paid the first dealer to do the repair. It's possible but if I was an independent dealer I would not want to get in the middle of that scenario and Ford cannot force the dealer to do that. I'm sure if it was an emergency situation Ford would work with the dealer. It will be difficult to show that the repair was done incorrectly since it's been 6 months and 14K miles. You might have to pay for the second repair and if you can get the dealer to document that the original repair was done wrong you might be able to convince Ford to reimburse you.- 7 replies

We've had weathertech liners in our last 3 vehicles and have been very pleased.

Shopping for mom - need Edge buying advice
akirby replied to hitops's topic in Buying, Leasing & Ordering
Offset is where the mounting flange sits relative to the inside and outside edge of the wheel. Tire rack should have a great explanation and you can find the offset of compatible wheels there for comparison. -
You're right! It's a safe bet!

Third party is very very risky. Ford ESP is the only safe way to go.

Why are you so hung up on this feature? If it's "useless" or "pointless" then don't use it - problem solved.
-
Is there an outside button on the door to release it? If not then that's why it's on the fob. Otherwise it's just there because it's cheaper to include it on all vehicles.

MFT Navigation - POI Importing
akirby replied to Kleber Gomes's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
POIs are bundled with the map updates so they're not going to allow you to upload new ones for free. You might be able to hack the data files on the sd card if they're not encrypted/protected. -
Pretty sure struts won't lift a non powered liftgate all by themselves. If that was the case you wouldn't need the motor.

I'm willing to bet that those types of individual problems (or those only affecting a small group of vehicles) occur all the time and are either fixed before leaving the factory or fixed later at the dealer as a relatively isolated incident. I don't think this points to the same widespread problem as before necessarily.
-
How is it supposed to open itself without a power assist? It's too heavy for the struts alone.

Wasn't sure if the TB was just on the 3.5L. They have made PTU changes but it's too early to tell if they're still failing. At the very least they seem to be much better than previous models. -

Check the front carpet for leaks or mold/mildew - some 2015s had water leaks. There were some throttle body problems but they're covered by the warranty. You don't have a PTU (AWD only) so that's good. I'd say go for it if there is no sign of a water leak. -

Success! Added OEM Navigation to MFT Sync2 (v3.8)
akirby replied to candurin's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
I thought it was obvious the answer was "may"....... -
Glad it's over either way. What was the msrp of the edge vs. the F150?

I may or may not be loving this thread..... -
Perhaps the salesman can help you with a deal to trade it in after it's fixed.

Not true. My 16 yr old daughter totaled her 6 month old 2012 Focus and damaged 2 other vehicles. Geico gave us full replacement value no questions asked, paid for the other repairs and not only did they not drop us our rates didn't go up. Also, it's Geico not Guico.
