enigma-2

I know on my 09 MKX with Sync 1, there was an update that HAD to be performed ata Ford dealership. That p'ed me off and I asked the service desk why. Just another con for getting more money out of me? They said it was because they had to update the Proms in several modules before they could do the software update, and required they to use their computer to connect the Ford and let Ford update those modules. So I said ... "oh", went into the waiting room and drank a cup of coffee, satisfied that I had my way with them.....

As FM is working great, the circuitry is working, after all it's an AM,FM antenna. So, the best way to improve reception in AM is to drill a 1" hole in your fender and attach a 42" telescopic antenna.... On my 2009, the AM works great. I can receive at a minimum three stations. Maybe four after 9 pm. (Insert sarcastic laugh). Actually, I never listen to AM or FM. Usually only SIRUS XM news and do-wop. Sometimes a CD or DVD, sometimes a talking book ripped to the hard disk. (Borrow them from the local library and rip them to the car.)

Try this, just in case, press the voice button and after the tone, say “Bluetooth Audio”. If (when) it connects, say “Play” and see if that works.

Known issue. Read this thread.

You may need to clear more than old phone connection. Items such as voice recognition and the like. Easiest way is to preform an master reset. 1. Press and hold the Seek up and audio unit Power buttons simultaneously until the screen goes black. 2. Wait for the system reset to complete. 3. Press the audio unit Power button to turn the system back on. Also, don't forget to remove the old keyless entry codes and set a new one for yourself.

You could try an A14, $15 SD Card from Ebay and see. (Probably Chineese clone, but if it works ...) https://www.ebay.com/itm/387067082604?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=4stf3o6qsxw&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Snv36mbbRk2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Is your software up to date?

Have you looked at these? https://www.ebay.com/itm/395576217710?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=_c_rf5jutd-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Snv36mbbRk2&var=664322568358&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Ford just announced that its rethinking the ev lineup going forward. Stay tuned ...

Happened to me a few years back. Made the dealer order and pay for a new cover. He said it really wasn't necessary. I said that "that" was my decision and you have no business removing parts ang throwing them away without my knowledge. They replaced it at their expense. They didnt want to, made them understand that if they wanted to keep my business, they lost it, they were going to replace it. Youre not going to be happy with the cover missing, replace it. At our age, little things like that, matter. If they refuse, tell them you'll pay for the parts, they pay for the labor. But make certain they understand that they lost it and your future business depends on it getting replaced. Also buy an extended warranty as you're going to keep the car. There are several secrets to getting it at a good deal. If you ask, I'll tell you what I did to save hundreds.

Yea, I read that K&N breath easier because they were designed for racing and allow smaller particles to get through (racing engines get torn down after every race, unlike a domestic that is designed to go a lifetime.) K&N lets the small micron dirt get through, the size that scratches the cylindar walls.

Enclosed please find a picture of my car and a check for €3.72. Please send me an air Quality Control sticker.

I realize this may be controversial, but seems to make sense (at least to me.) It concerns the use of why you should use OEM air cleaners and not aftermarket. He also discusses how the oiled filters leaves an oil film on the MAF and that modern cars already have built in cold air inlets. It's a few years old, but still seems relevant. I also tracked down the NCIO Test Report and this website (ncio club) where the results are summarized. Not too surprising that the OEM filter completely dominated the test results. What was surprising was how badly K&N filters did; finishing at or near the bottom of the tests. Anyway, interesting results. https://www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html

Wee bit warm in the summ🔥er. ....... but its dry heat. (but then again, so is hell ...)

Don't know why, but your speaking about being an old hippy got me thinking of hippies, which of course led me to think about driving my MKX out west to the hippy community in Jerome, AZ and eating ribs at the Haunted Hamburger. (Makes perfect sense to me ...)

In Indiana, it's 2 oz of Glenfiddich, sweetened with an oz of Noilly Prat Sweet Vermouth & 3 drops Angostura bitters. Rinse repeate and you'll forget you ever had hair.

Ditto

I would think that its supposed to. Adds traction and stability. Splitter looks nice though. I'd consider installing it for the looks

Sadist thing on earth is a hippy using a walker ...... ⚘🌷🌻

Ever thought about drawing power from the r.v. mirror? It's how I connected my radar detector and it works perfectly. This is the Mirrortap wiring harness i used; (your device connection would use a different harness) https://a.co/d/du9qCbH And Blendmount mounting bracket; (again yours will be different) https://blendmount.com/radar-detector-mounts/ The advantage is,+ a ten minute hookup, poweres up when car is on/run, off with key off, door open.

Oh, let's go whole hog. Dig this Daddo'O, white wall tires, curb feelers, racoon tail tied to the shark fin antenna, suicide knob, dual glasspacks and a blue dot drilled into the rear brake light lens. Bitchen, right? Let's agitate the gravel but eyeballs out for the fuzz. Shotgun. I'm a 50s—60s kid 🙂

Here's the proper way to do it ..

Sounds like something I would use driving through Starbucks. Start, stop, start, stop. (But then again, after driving over 60 years without it ........ . 🙂

Thread is a little old and hopefully its been fixed by now. If not, as it started when a new battery was installed, there was probably a glitch initiated (touch then untouch, then touch again, small spark) in the systems. When connecting s battery, try to avoid cresting multiple sparks as they generate current pulses into the electrical syatem. Try disconnecting the battery again, leave it disconnected for several minutes to allow the capacitive elements in the various modules to discharge, then connect the battery again. Basically it resets the modules to their initial states.
