I installed the 55W 6000k and while they had a bit of a blue tinge, that was the effect I was looking for. So far they've been great and no indication from any oncoming drivers that they were too bright. The key is to make sure that they're aimed correctly after swapping out the bulbs.

Looks like a nice job with a good clean cutoff.

Not only that, it's also redundant.

Geez, someone just HAS to play with all their new toys.

Downloaded the update from SyncMyRide and installed it yesterday without any issues. Previous version was 2,.11 and took about 60 minutes. Just have to wait for the Nav SD card now.

My gauges sweep on startup - speedo, tach and fuel gauge.

Looks like there's an update available in the app store that addresses dome "minor bug fixes" - if only Ford would send out updates for the real MFT that quickly.

Make sure you select it as wallpaper, then it will be there from that point on.

No one has a tune out yet for the 2011 and up models due to changes in the PCM.

It looks good and hopefully it will be similar in responsiveness. Maybe I'll just duct tape my iPad to the dash until the update comes out.

Is this in addition to any extended warranties that might have been purchased?

After pulling fuse 29 a couple of times after I first got the car, that's essentially the same thing I did as well except that I ran the wires over to the glove-box and mounted the switch there. It makes it soooo much easier than pulling the fuse - especially when you're driving down the road. No need to pull over and turn off the car, restart it, fumble with a fuse. I mean really, who would design and build any kind of a computer system without a reset switch? Worst case, put it in a location where you have to push in a paper clip or something.

I didn't notice an issue with the threaded adapter with mine but to be honest, I can't remember if it stuck out past the end of the new antenna or not. It did end up screwing down far enough that I didn't have a gap between the antenna and the base. If you're concerned about using an adapter, a drop or two of Loctite will make sure that it doesn't come off inadvertently.

The only way that you can play video is to pipe it in through the AV ports and select them as a source. Even then, it will only play while in Park.

Careful dude, the mod doesn't like it when people get too wound up. You'll earn yourself a time-out.

Actually, the "blank" screen works quite well once you upload your own wallpaper to it.

Based on what I see on the first image, it looks like the pictures you add should still be visible to some degree, like the Ford logo they show on-screen.

Lookin' good!

The controls below the touch screen (down by the big volume control) are capacitive switches so you need to have direct contact with them to make them work. I think it goes back to lack of unified design focus by the engineering teams. Why have three different technologies present for your controls - resistive on the touch screen, capacitive on the lower controls, mechanical switches on the volume and audio control.

So what's the difference between the two that makes you think one is better than the other?

The touch screen has one of 3 home screens that you can set it to. Press and hold the home icon at the bottom center of the screen until a 3 panel display slides up. Then you can select a single wallpaper image for the default, the standard 4 panel screen or one with a number of customizable shortcuts. The cluster displays on either side of the speedo should default to whatever they were at when the car was turned off.

When the announcement changes from "soon" to "real soon", then I'll get excited.

That should do it.
