    1 like and 1 Dislike about your Expedition?

    Love just about everything about it. Spacious (Max...at 6'4" I can actually comfortably sit anywhere in it, which is RARE), plush (Platinum), powerful & quick, just enough technology. There are 3 things that I don't necessarily like. One is the interior...I know, I even just said it was...

    surging under light throttle

    Sounds like poor programming; I’m not digging Fords decisions in this regard, especially the skip shifting. Heavily considering a tune from 5* just to clean up the shifting. I did notice it shifts better the harder you are on the gas, like it begs to be driven more like a car...

    Paint touch up

    Bummer. Even though it’s a small spot it still catches my eye constantly and irritates me. I know vehicles don’t stay new forever, but less than 1K miles is infuriating. And yeah, I looked up buying a new cover hoping it would be painted. Found out it was under $100, but needs to be painted...

    Paint touch up

    Morning All, I was the lucky recipient of someones desire to customize my new Expedition before I even had 1,000 miles on it. Fortunately just the hitch cover. Anyone know if there is a touch up paint that matches? Rest of the vehicle is "Magnetic" I believe. Or anyone not using their hitch...

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

    Thinking about finally doing the update today, we'll see. Got a pork butt smoking for several more hours and I need something to do. I've seen references to different themes/colors in 3.4. Is this correct or is the only option the plain white display I've been seeing (unless messing with the...

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

    Thanks for hanging in there with me on the n00b questions. I understand the differences now. I'm in the industrial automation industry (pharmacy specifically) so I liken FORSCAN to Visual Studio or RSLogix...tool used to build/edit "something" you create. I had (mistakenly) believed FORSCAN...

    Gas Door requires a good wack to open and close it?

    My sliding door over the wireless charger doesn’t stay open when it’s cold out...but fuel door is fine. I’m not about to bring it in for my issue either...I’ve never had any luck with anyone taking apart interior pieces and not screwing them up (including Infiniti, who replaced my entire dash...

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

    In doing my due diligence on this update topic I noticed on the Euro forums referenced on CyanLabs people were mentioning getting beta releases of firmware, etc from the forscan forum and we are talking about it here as well... How are Ford and forscan related? I can’t believe Ford has a team...

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

    So these settings/configurations are stored in the APIM, right? If I am remembering correctly the APIM is firmware based and can only be adjusted/flashed via Forscan and associated OBDII adapter? If so I guess that makes sense on why the settings would be retained... I did just check and I do...

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

    Other than the map question...another one just came to me. I read through one of the forums referenced on Cyanlabs and long story short, will doing this update impact any of the available buttons on the display like heated seat and steering wheel? Will I need to use Forscan to enable those again?

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

    Not sure how I gave that impression, apologies! There are pluses and minuses of this communication medium I suppose... Sounds like the update is similar then to what it was with the Jeep navigation system, which I did once in 9 years...when my parents bought it from me when I bought the...

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

    Sorry if you or anyone repeat anything that may have been posted before, that isn't my intent. But I didn't notice answers to the particular questions I had...maybe I asked them wrong, or I still am too new with owning a Ford (different lingo, etc than the Grand Cherokee Summit I am coming from...

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

    So, in lurking around this thread for a minute and reading and re-reading one question jumps out at me...how will doing this impact the ability to receive updates in the future? For example, the auto update feature or from the owner.ford.com web site? The site right now says I have an update...

    Auto stop benefit

    I hate this feature and bought the memorizer from 4D in case I was in a situation where I wanted it. I hate the sudden lurching associated with it when the vehicle starts back up, it isn’t much but it’s there. Maybe more so on the higher output Platinum I’m driving. It was most irritating as...

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

    Star White will be "whiter" whereas the White Platinum is a tiny bit "off white" with a pearl sheen to it. They are certainly dramatically different IMO. I'd take the White Platinum over Star White but that's personal preference.

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

    Had enough caffeine yet to recall the other improvements? :Big Laugh: I honestly haven't noticed any sluggishness, maybe I just haven't used the navigation enough or I've been plugging in and using CarPlay for that. I don't think I've actually used any of the Applink apps either. I usually...

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

    I haven't updated to 3.4 as I haven't really studied the process in depth yet, but it seems more like a UI skin than a ground up overhaul. That would mean it would probably fundamentally operate in the same manner as before but with a different look. I'm not sure I like the new look over the...

    Why not make every light LED??

    They saved less than that. I only paid $11.98 for mine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D8DJN30/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And for the license plate lights I bought these for $4.99...

    Why not make every light LED??

    It’s literally 4 lights. Just ridiculous to me...

    Why not make every light LED??

    '19 Max Platinum here and it baffles me why all the lighting isn't LED...license plate lights and reverse lights incandescent...anything else I haven't noticed yet? Banished those bulbs already and I'll keep going until they are all LED. Anything in the front lamp that isn't LED? I honestly...

    The "Auto Stop-Start" is so annoying!!!!

    Yes, I am using that exact product. Works fine.

    Wireless CarPlay?

    Wireless CarPlay?

    Wireless car play if I recall correctly is not something that could just be "turned on" easily. It utilizes a combination of WiFi and Bluetooth and requires a vehicle to have WiFi built in. Then just because WiFi is built in I would imagine there are other integration points that need to be...

    What did you do to make yours look just a little different?

    Well, mine does look different from everyone else now...though not in a desirable way...
