I've tried that streaming thing that all the cool kids do, and yes, I've experienced moments of dropped sound. At first I thought my kids were messing with something. Thank goodness for the CD player. ;-) The whole audio setup on the truck is a giant disappointment. I'd go so far as to call it a failure considering the price.

Man, that’s not good. Hopefully Ford will offer a fix for this.

Pretty much seals my fate for a Navigator here. One of the things keeping the Expy on the list was the loads of extras in the Platinum like RSE. If it sucks, which it sounds like it does, I'm fine forfeiting it for the more expensive Gator...
Get the Gator, you’ll be glad you spent the extra cash. It’s easy to see where the extra money goes each time I get into mine.
I wouldn’t be too sure that it works better in the Gator without testing it. We’re talking about the rear seat entertainment, right? I want to hear from someone who has this option in the Navigator.

I think he means ditching the RSE and applying that money towards the more expensive Navigator.

Yep. I won't be missing it as much, especially if I am paying a premium for the Gator.
Something that I've grown rather upset with in addition to the sync issues between the BT audio and the video is the inability to control anything from the driver seat and getting everything playing on both screens is an ordeal when the little ones are anxious. Yes, I know I can use an app to control the menus on the screen with my phone but without seeing the screens to know what menu I'm on, it's worthless and if I’m in the back looking at the screen, I might as well be controlling it from one of the remote controls. I think I'm going to start tearing into everything and try to figure out a way to build an interface that will be plug and play to route the audio through discrete wiring to the radio and view the screens on the front display so you can see the on-screen menus and then control them as well. Kinda sad how poorly everything is implemented given how much this system cost.
