    Expedition Max vs standard size

    For us, the decider was what would fit in the garage. We get wicked hailstorms here in the summer, and I've had too many vehicles written off due to hail damage. Here's the aftermath of a hailstorm in July last year:

    2019 Rear Seat Entertainment Question

    Nice! Yeah, 264 isn't as compact, but then that means you don't need such a powerful machine to uncompact it in realtime whilst watching. You can trim down the image quality, resolution, audio quality etc to dial it into a compromise between file size and quality. Personally, I just got a...

    SD Card/USB Drive

    It's very unlikely to be in a codec that the RSE system understands. You should grab HandBrake (free software) and convert it to one of the extensions and codecs in that table. It should work then.

    SD Card/USB Drive

    MP4 is just the container. The envelope, so to speak. What application do you use to watch them on your computer? And what did you use to convert them?

    2019 Rear Seat Entertainment Question

    I can hardly make it out... but are you using H265? Edit: Yeah, you're using H265. There's no way these units can cope with that codec. Hell, even some laptops struggle with that. Use H264. You'll end up with bigger files, but the compression isn't so extreme and doesn't require a...

    2019 Rear Seat Entertainment Question

    Odd... all my media is converted to the following format, and they all load when I put the SD card in directly to the drivers side RSE screen (no USB): I'm using the mp4 container, not m4v.

    2019 Rear Seat Entertainment Question

    That's awesome - so any bluetooth headset should work. I'll be tossing the factory ones into the firepit this weekend!

    SD Card/USB Drive

    That's the table I was thinking of. There's another table that lists compatible resolutions and aspect ratios too I think.

    SD Card/USB Drive

    The movie files need to be a specific type and encoding. The RSE manual has a table with details of which file formats and movie encodes it will accept. I also plug the SD card straight into the driver side RSE screen (on its left side). Why bother with USB?

    2019 Rear Seat Entertainment Question

    We put a 128gb SD card in and it's full of movies and shows. I figure it'll get less annoying as the kids get older and can control it themselves. Right now it's a PITA trying to reach over from the passenger seat on road trips to change movies etc. Also, are the wireless headphones on yours...

    2019 Rear Seat Entertainment Question

    Have to say I'm really disappointed with the RSE system. I thought it would be better than the GMC offering, but it's not. Their system might be a single roof mounted screen, but at least it's controllable from the front screen.

    Power Running Boards Acting Funny

    What's the best grease to use? White Lithium? Or would that attract too much dirt to stick? What about dry lube like PTFE or graphite spray?

    Mirror Cameras installation

    His question is so badly worded it's hard to understand what he's actually asking. I assumed he was asking if the Expedition had pre-wiring for cameras that don't exist on any trim level. That's what my answer was for. Maybe you interpreted something different from it. In your case, of...

    Disable side airbags

    There's a possibility it can be disabled using Forscan.

    Mirror Cameras installation

    Very unlikely. Why would they spend the extra on a feature that would be used in less than 1% of vehicles.

    Do you know which of the 4 motors is bad? Each motor and assembly is approximately $290 each online per corner. Can't be hard to replace yourself. JL1Z-16A506-H JL1Z-16A507-G JL1Z-16A506-F JL1Z-16A507-E

    Downsize 2019 platinum rims to 18” or 20”

    The white sidewall lettering looks very sharp... I might do that to my winter rims/tires this summer when they're off the vehicle. Also, if it bothers you enough, you can reprogram the speedometer/tire sizes in the computer using Forscan.

    What do YOU put in this compartment?

    Oooh yeah, good one. When I remember it's there, my keys and wallet. Also on roadtrips, snacks I'm keeping hidden from my wife.

    Whaaat? No bazooka or hand grenades?!

    Name that sound..

    To my ears it sounds like the pad is rubbing on the rotor, or the brake rock shield is rubbing etc. I'd whip that rim off and spin the hub to make 100% sure it's not that, before continuing any further. Sounds can travel in weird ways - bouncing off other objects, travelling along metal etc.

    I removed all my incandescent bulbs and replaced them with candles.
