Newbie (1/14)

  1. I had some weird Nav issues after first updating to 3.5.1, along with Nav being very noticeably slower. After a second Master Reset, the weirdness, things like you described, seems to have gone away but it's still very noticeably slower than before the update - so much so that the mapped position is often way behind the actual position.
  2. Well after a few days now playing around with the new version, all seems as good as before (I'm one of the lucky ones it seems who've never had any real MFT issues) except! nav. It's often (not always, but often for sure) very noticeably off by quite a bit (several car lengths) when approaching intersections, turns, etc. And where as before (version 2) the map would transition very smoothly across the screen when the car was moving, it's now very choppy at times. Seems they've taken some of the processing power that was previously dedicated to Nav and priorizing it elsewhere? Ah well, should have left well enough alone I suppose...at least the temp is back in the center console LOL.
  3. Not sure about current models, but when we purchased our 2012 Limited, one of the main reasons was it's quieter interior over both the SEL and Sport models we also looked at. Salesman said that the Limited had different windshield (it does say "sound design") and other sound deadening measures taken from the MKX version. Who knows, but it was noticeably quieter than the other versions, and still is a very quiet ride even at highway speeds with snow tires (always a louder tire, no matter the size) on there.
  4. It's weird actually, as it kept my "Home" location, but I lost the few manually input locations I had.
  5. I lost my Nav favourites (not that I had a lot though), but it kept my previous radio presets.
  6. Installed mine today, along with the new A4 maps. Seems fine, and the new map does have some updates for my area that weren't on the previous A3. P.S. I did a Master Reset, both before and after, based on what I've read on this site - it's no biggie, takes only a couple minutes either way (and about 45min for the overall update). Like I said, seems fine.
  7. OUCH! Sorry to hear it, but cars can be fixed, people can't...best of luck!
  8. With snow tires, you want to go taller and narrower (while keeping the same overall diameter), so 17's will work a bit better to get you through the really bad snow days. I went with 17's for that reason...Canadian winters...eh!
  9. A quick check of those coloured lighted rings in your cupholder (along with those other interior accent lights) will also tell the tale - if they're on, your headlights are on. This is with the lighting package with the Limited anyway, not sure about other models.
  10. One important correction there: 2011+ Edge's have a 63.4mm hub, the 70.5mm is for the previous years.
  11. I had my first documented, live, honest to goodness Sync meltdown today...well maybe not a meltdown, but hey it sounds dramatic! But I did finally see the (in)famous "Sync by Microsoft" black screen of death (more drama!) followed by the progress bar with "performing scheduled maintenance" or some such thing. Wasn't even doing anything major, just changing radio channels using voice command when I didn't hear a response; and looked down to see the above (I use voice commands almost exclusively for everything), So now finally after a year and a bit, I feel like I belong or I've arrived LOL! It took maybe a minute to for it all to reset and come back online again, no biggie, but I hope it's not a sign of more to come...anyway just thought I'd share!
  12. Ford's design for TPMS is, unfortunately, little better than the old in=dash idiot lights of old. My wife's Acura RDX, which is a couple years older, will show you the actual tire pressure at any wheel at any time, along with warning when one is low.
  13. I purchased similar for my ex Mustang, worked fine along with http://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-MERCURY-LINCOLN-TPMS-RESET-TOOL-8C2Z-1A203-A-Tire-Pressure-/251191810507?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item3a7c32d9cb&vxp=mtr to reset the TPMS system each time I swapped wheels.
  14. As mentioned, it's all in the driving style I'm sure. And a few break in miles doesn't hurt, don't expect top figures with sitll less than 1 k miles on the clock. Steady state cruise at 60-65mph seems to be the sweet spot in mine and now nets easy 25+mpg. Definitely much over 65 and mpg noticeably drops on the dash display. I'm usually in no big hurry to get places on those longer cruises, just enjoy the ride and decent mpg is sure to follow
  15. Mine works fine...sorry, couldn't resist! :happy feet:
