Over at syncmyride forums they are buzzing about a new Sync update that was supposedly released on syncmyride and then withdrawn. Apparently its version 3.7.11. Link...

I'm wondering if some strange behavior I'm experiencing with the 2nd row powerfold seats is normal or not. Perhaps one of you with the 2nd row powerfold seats can try and reproduce this for me. When I press the powerfold button for the PASSENGER side 2nd row powerfold seat WHEN THE CAR...

When I attempt to go to the message boards on Ford Sync's website, I get the following from my browser: "This is probably not the site you are looking for! You attempted to reach boards.synccommunity.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as osbxdc2.mzinga.com...

With version 3.5.1 when I would say "Play artist the rolling stones" I would get this: I believe "Die" and "Les" are foreign equivalents of "The." Selecting ANY of those takes me to the rolling stones. Sure enough, anytime I'd use voice commands with a band with a "the" in front, I...

Some of you may remember this, but for the newbies, here's a brief history lesson. Ford hired a company called B-squared to develop MFT. After numerous failures, right around version 2.11 it was thought Ford fired B-squared and pulled development in-house or at least outsourced it to someone...

As the thread title states, do you have any (even general) idea of when a new update for MFT might be available Rebecca? Seems like it has been almost 6 months or so since 3.5.1 came out. If you can't say, can you at least give us a hint?

So, this has now happened at least four times to me intermittently. I shutdown the car, exit, and then notice that the brake lights are still on! All it takes to fix it is to tap the brake pedal ever so slightly and the lights turn off. I took it to the dealer and they tried to reproduce...

So my wife's iPhone 4 works really well streaming Pandora, we recently took a 4 hour car trip and it worked great. Even put all the song titles/artist info on the MFT screen. However, with my Droid Razr Maxx HD, the streaming works, but the song titles do not. In doing some digging...

All, Lots of newbies with new 2013s or used 2011s or 2012s lately with MFT problems. Just to repeat some knowledge that is been around the forum, head on over to http://outofmytouch.com/ and go to the section titled "MFT acting up?" and follow the directions. It's a link to a file...

So over at syncmyride's community forums a user posted a question: "Is there any software to change the center screen between the tachometer and speedometer to a digital read out? its hard to see your speed." To which a user replied: "There is no way to make it do it all the time...

E15 Fuel and the Explorer All, Just noticed that the EPA has approved E15 (15% ethanol) fuel for sale. http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20121130/AUTO01/211300415 While this doesn't mean that you will see it at your gas station in the future, it may show up, depending on your state...

So it seems Ford isn't the only company struggling with technology - or struggling with convincing gear heads to embrace touch screens. Cadillac's new CUE system is getting panned by Consumer Reports as well, with the reviewer even preferring MFT...

I just downloaded the update over at syncmyride. It appears Ford put the update back up. I almost want to wait a few days to see if it gets pulled again. Rebecca, I believe you said with the last update that it was safe to drive while it was updating. Is this true for this update...

All, I'm not sure where I heard to try this, (probably syncmyride.com) but if you are not seeing your weather map data, try popping out the SD card for your map, waiting ten seconds, then popping it back in. Worked for me the other day. My weather map was not displaying, so I popped out...

I found it interesting that sometimes it takes awhile for people to get used to things. For example, I believe it was MT or some other auto rag that slammed MFT, in essence, because it wasn't the dials and knobs they were used to. Two years or so later and I was at the doctor's office this...

http://www.twincities.com/ci_20915827/feds-probe-ford-explorer-power-steering-problems The NHTSA is probing the issue of power steering failures on 2011 Explorers. If any members are experiencing this problem I would suggest contacting the NHTSA.

Anyone else having issues with the weather map with the new upgrade? I got the weather maps for the first couple of weeks, now whenever I go to them they are blank. I should mention that I subscribe to Travel Link (2 year subscription) - so that shouldn't be the issue. Not sure if this is...

I love my Explorer and I love MFT - so again, this pains me to do this... but this is so beyond pathetic.:thumbdwn: So, I tried loading some wallpaper and playing around with it and it appears that the MFT coders have no idea how to properly implement a proper list or manage memory. How...

Long story short, on my way home from work this evening, someone's unsecured load fell off their truck into my beautiful red explorer. I'm surprised it isn't much worse. No fluids leaking that I have detected and I was able to drive away. The good news is that the responsible party was...

http://www.gfchips.com/fordexplorer.aspx claims to give 4-7 mpg and up to 60 hp increase - all while lowering CO emissions by 25-40% I don't buy it - :rolleyes: call me skeptical. If all it took was reprogramming the ECU, why wouldn't Ford have just done this at the plant then...

Not super useful, but interesting.... http://www.fordtechlane.com/

All of a sudden I'm driving home and I feel the vibration of a text message notification coming from the Droid X in my pocket. Not out of the ordinary for sure. BUT, A couple seconds later I hear "bing" and the MFT text message notification! All of a sudden it's working as it should. I...
