  1. I haven't tried it on sync 3 - I assumed it would work similarly.
  2. No plans announced yet. I've heard that it does have the new hardware and that it does not - my guess is it does not and you won't be able to do a simple software upgrade. If you want to double check look up the screen part number for the 2015 and 2016 on fordparts.com.
  3. It will show up automatically when the low fuel warning comes on (at least that's how it used to work). Otherwise just say "destination poi" "by category" "fuel" "nearby" or something like that. POI is under the Destination menu option (you don't have to set a destination - you're browsing for a POI destination).
  4. 1. 4-12 weeks depending on your location 2. part of the price - just a pre-downpayment 3. there is a program the dealer can sign up for that gives you incentive protection - you can choose from the incentives in place at the time or order or the current ones (but you can't mix and match). Ask your dealer 4. It's a regular incentive so #3 still applies, but ask specifically about the private cash rebate 5 Yep - with the exception of #3 if you have locked in incentives at order time.
  5. It's part of the price - think of it as a pre-downpayment. Costco simply provides a fixed price for members at specific dealerships. It may or may not be cheaper. It doesn't change anything about the ordering process.
  6. Does it only happen after touching the brakes? What if you slow down without the brakes then accelerate again?
  7. It's not diesel per se - it's the blatant lying and cheating.
  8. I've used weathertech mats in a 08 Edge, 14 Escape and 16 MKX. Very happy with them. Weathertech.com. Husky liners are also well rated.
  9. It's not that bad - I've replaced one that's worse on a Focus. Or I should say I watched the Advance auto parts guy do it. I think you can pull out the battery before disconnecting the negative cable. Also note there is a remote negative terminal to the right of the battery (facing the vehicle from the front) for testing/charging/jumping.
  10. Sorry - I do not understand what you're describing. Can you try a translator like google?
  11. It's hard to understand, but here are a few tips: Your foot must be on the brake to shift from P to D. There is a switch behind the brake pedal that controls it. If the transmission is in D the engine will not start - it must be in P or N. If you park on an incline (a hill) and don't use the parking brake, the transmission can get stuck in P. If none of that helps, the shifter itself might need to be replaced.
  12. Sync 3 Destination Mode Enter a navigation destination in any of the following formats: Search Street Address (number, street, city, state) For example "12 Mainstreet Dearborn MI" Partial Address (number, street) if searching in current state (number, street and zip code (or postal code in Canada)) if searching out of state You can enter unique addresses that contain door number prefixes with or without the prefix. For example, you could enter "6N340 Fairway Lane" or "340 Fairway Lane". City (name or zip code) Point of Interest (name or category) Intersection (street 1 / street 2) (street 1 and street 2) (street 1 @ street 2) (street 1 at street 2) Latitude and Longitude (##.###### - ##.######) One to six decimal places are accepted.
  13. They'll be building 2016s until October. 08/05/2016 - 2016MY Fleet Final Order Due Date 09/08/2016 - 2016MY Last Day to Spec Change 10/21/2016 - 2016MY Job Last Date 08/15/2016 - 2017MY Order Bank Open Date 09/22/2016 - 2017MY Scheduling Begins 10/24/2016 - 2017MY Job #1 Date
  14. It's accurate as in that vehicle was sold to that dealer. They show up a couple of weeks before they arrive and it can take a week or two to remove them after they're sold.
  15. Are you using the dealer search from the Ford website?
  16. iPhones don't have to work for 20+ years. Plus, I don't recall Apple announcing any new features or even the existence of a new iphone until the day of the press conference. Everything you hear before that is just rumor.
  17. I'm pretty sure they didn't sit around and say "what feature can we remove that will piss off Edgex007?" Maybe that interface had to be completely re-written for Android Auto so it wasn't worth doing by itself. Or maybe there is a compatibility issue. That's just software development 101. I'm sure there was a good reason for it and it should be fixed within a few months with full blown Android Auto.
  18. The best way to get one is to request a brochure about 30 days before you plan to purchase. I've done this at least 3 times and gotten a $750 offer all 3 times. For the MKX I requested one on Friday and got the email notice from Ford about the offer 6 days later, and bought it 2 days after that. I've also gotten them unsolicited from Ford even when we weren't shopping.
  19. I found 84 within a 40 mile radius, so yes.
  20. Ford doesn't follow any set timetables for releasing new model year vehicles. Whenever the vehicle is ready it gets released. Might be February, might be December. And it always gets the next calender year designation no matter when it appears (like the 2017 Escape).

  21. http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/PartDetail.aspx?n=bOlQ%2bnuah6EojamVbBsiSw%3d%3d&id=351572713&m=2&search=true&year=2014&make=Ford&model=Edge
  22. Not that I know of, but destination input by voice works perfectly and is very fast.
