    21B10, 21N08, 21N03 Forscan?

    I’d suggest another dealer but I don’t know how it works with the programming… Following, but this is why I’m not bringing mine in. Seems like most times a dealer touches my vehicles I end up getting it back in worse shape than I brought it in. Like when Infiniti cracked some plastic trim and...

    CarPlay connectivity issue, replace the USB ports?

    It could still be your cables. Have you tried with a genuine Apple cable? We’ve had cables that work fine for charging, etc that simply don’t work or only work intermittently in the wife’s Lincoln. I use wireless CarPlay in the Expedition so I haven’t plugged it in lately…

    Auto Start/Stop Disabled due to vehicle Charging.

    I wouldn’t worry about it, I bought one of the eliminators for around $100. You got it disabled for free!!

    PCM software recall

    My understanding from reading the letter is they will cover the phasers regardless as long as you are under warranty, but if you are not they will prorate a repair to the phasers only if you have this PCM adjustment done prior to Feb of 22. But even then they only will provide prorated coverage...

    Cracked - common?

    I haven't had much in the way of feedback here, nor on Facebook groups. I'm hesitant to take it to a dealer for fear they will do more damage than they fix. I might bring it to a local body shop that does phenomenal work and see what they say. I did try to vinyl wrap it myself but since it...

    Favorite Forscan changes?

    Decided to get myself the necessary components to tinker around with Forscan on my Expedition. I had hoped to enable DAB for SiriusXM but I see that it is a not possible without updating the APIM firmware. Anyway, what are your favorite changes and what are the details (where to change, what...

    Cracked - common?

    Mine is the left side that cracked. Wonder how onerous this is to replace? Going to take it in to Ford and see if they will warranty it of course, but if they don't I'd still probably want to fix it myself at a minimum...if I can...

    Cracked - common?

    Ok, please don’t beat me up too badly asking and telling me to use the search function…I dunno what this part is called and “cracked” is going to come up with waaaaay too many hits so… Noticed his black trim on driver side next to the rear window has a crack. If memory serves I think I...

    ANC useless?

    Anyone actually notice ANC doing anything in their Platinum? I have a 2019 Max that is my DD, but I also have a 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn crew cab with the longer box that’s my “beater” I drive to the airport and on work trips and the interior seems quieter. I always marvel how quiet the Ram is...

    Automatic hi beams not working?

    That explains the 2 track. The road leading up to it was devoid of people as well and is 55. Didn’t seem to work then either. Window is clean as well. Vehicle gets washed frequently as I have one of those unlimited wash plans to the local car wash. I’ll pay more attention to speed. Also...

    Automatic hi beams not working?

    Just noticed last night driving to the lake through some empty, dark 2 tracks that the auto hi beams weren’t doing anything on my 19 Platinum. Seemed to be a new development as I recall them working before. Manually they worked fine. Any suggestions of things to check?

    Expedition Max vs standard size

    I don’t understand why they don’t just sell the Max and the Max alone. To me the shorty is pointless. With the 3rd row in use on a shorty there is no space for…anything. Just get a 3 row crossover. We have 2 kids and 2 dogs. No way would I ever want anything but the Max. In fact I wish they...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    Just did oil change #3 at 15K after a run from West MI to Gatlinburg, TN with the vehicle packed with 6 adults, luggage, and a hitch box full of fire wood. Installed a valvomax drain valve in the process. Hopefully next time around will be less of a PITA and less messy. Looked at Fumoto, and...

    Possible Transmission Issue !! NEED HELP

    Check to see if there are any stored codes perhaps. I just dealt with a 2019 Ram 1500 with similar miles that had the entire transmission replaced. It had issues shifting between gears twice, acted like it hit neutral before banging into 3rd then refusing to shift until i shut it off and...

    Update all versions of Ford Sync 3 to the latest Sync 3.4

    I’m on the fence...I’m in technology - robotics, IT, software development, networking, etc as a career for the last 20 years and used to “hack” everything I owned, but automative seems to be a bit of its own beast. I’ve also been in leadership roles for a while instead of getting my hands dirty...

    Update all versions of Ford Sync 3 to the latest Sync 3.4

    Thanks for the info! So artwork on SXM is a dead end for anyone that didn’t have a 3.4 version from the factory? Unless the sketchy flash is done at a deeper level than what the cyanlabs updater does?

    Update all versions of Ford Sync 3 to the latest Sync 3.4

    Also what year Robs vehicle is? Mine is a 2019 so I had to go the unapproved route to update. Wonder if his experiences are only going to work for models that had 3.4 from the factory? I’d certainly like the art work if I can get it going. Not the end of the world if it doesn’t, but if I can...

    Update all versions of Ford Sync 3 to the latest Sync 3.4

    I also thought automatic updates didn’t actually work?

    Update all versions of Ford Sync 3 to the latest Sync 3.4

    Interesting. I’m on vacation right now and won’t be home until later tomorrow, I’ll have to see if mine updated and works as well. I don’t think I have the absolute latest build of sync 3.4 though. Haven’t had a chance to update it…

    Dog ramp suggestions

    I tried steps since I figured that would be most familiar to her. She wanted nothing to do with it! Upgraded Nonslip Car Dog Steps,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08251YMJK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

    Dog ramp suggestions

    Our dog refused to use a ramp. It was a worthless purchase. I just pick our 12 YO 80lb lab up and set her in. Our 1 year old lab jumps in no problem. They both jump out.

    Anyone know part number for entertainment package and if pre-wired

    The general feeling is that the factory RSE is absurdly expensive and performs poorly generally. Most just buy Android based RSE or iPads. We bought a pair of iPads for $279 each. Considerably less than the RSE from Ford and performs better besides. Even if you add LTE service for the...

    Update all versions of Ford Sync 3 to the latest Sync 3.4

    I don’t know that I ever recall seeing album artwork on my Expedition, regardless the version of Sync. My 19 Ram has it though. I was actually going to ask if it was possible to get the album artwork...

    2nd row captain chairs versus 2nd row split bench with dogs?

    2 kids, 9 and 6 with 2 dogs, 85lbs and 70lbs. We prefer the captains chairs. I put the 3rd row up or down based on need (how much cargo I’m hauling). The smaller dog chills out in the pass thru between the captains chairs generally, while I put the bigger dog in the cargo area. Like I said...

    Aggravations, Ford's retained ownership.

    Initially I was lamenting no V8 option, but having driven the Ecoboost for a while and now having tuned it, I don’t miss a V8. This engine is legit...gobs of power that just never ends. My Max Platinum is much quicker than my tuned Grand Cherokee Summit with the Hemi was. I also just bought a...
