    I was told the same thing by my dealer. They said switching out the tires and rims would void the warranty and could screw up the AWD system. Ive seen a bunch of people do it on here and other sites. Ive called a few other dealers and tire places and have gotten mixed answers.

    I installed mine last week using the video that was posted in this thread. U start by opening the center armrest and pulling the chrome trim up (toward roof) that starts underneath the the center armrest till those clips pop, where the chrome trim starts to bend upwards your going to pull towards you. Once those pop the trim piece needs to be angled up and will just lift out from under the dash. I pulled the video up on my phone and paused it step my step as i took the dash apart.

    I had a little bit of trouble too. There are little spikes in the u clip that dig into the plastic when u pull them. The trick is like Dan showed in the video get a flathead and get between the u clip spikes and the plastic and they will pop right off. I tired a few different sized flat heads till I found one that worked well.

    Installed my lights yesterday and noticed something weird, when I turn on my lights without the car started only the drivers side strip will light up, not the passenger. when the car is started they both light up fine. Also when i lock or unlock the doors with the car off I do get both amber lights lit up. The only reason I noticed the passenger side not lighting up is I was trying to troubleshoot an issue with my HID's. Anyone else notice this, or is it just me.

    The old lock pic unit i had in my escape would allow nav audio while watching dvds, I don't see why this one wouldn't. Once I get it the new one installed i'll get you an answer.

    Anyone here install a OEM Ford trailer wiring harness on a Sport? I was wondering if its plug and play or if something needs to be wired taped like the the aftermarket ones Ive seen in the posts on here.

    I have a spare phone with a unlimited data plan and use it as a hotspot. I used to connect it to a tablet i had mounted in my old vehicle, now with the Apple TV and airplay features I don't really need the tablet. Down the road I may try to to a custom mount for a iPad mini like soundman car audio did for that nexus 7 in the 2011 edge. I would only use it for google maps because i like it better then the factory nav.

    Bummed me a little too, I had the same option in my 2011 escape. Not to mention my salesman told me it played dvd's. One work around is to pick up a cheap portable dvd player ($50 bucks from target) and use the AV ports in the center console to achieve what you did in your F150. I just order a Sync Lockpic which opens the functions thats are normally locked when in motion and working a setup with an apple tv.

    I think Im having the same issue with my HID's. Ive triple checked the seating of the bulbs unplugged and replugged the connections, but the drivers side seems to be noticeably dimmer then then the passenger side. Im running 9006 Morimoto 3five (50w) 5000k with heavy duty relay. Im gonna contact TRS monday and go from there.
