  1. Just found it. Well I think the problem with that is that I have a lead foot. :) I'll usually step on it and then coast the rest of the way until the next signal light. Can't wait to finally get the call from the dealer to get that vacuum canister replaced that's causing my check engine light to come on! I'm going to do a full reset to REALLY see my MPG's :)
  2. I took this picture last week and just occurred to me to post. Best so far. But so hard keeping the blue EV bar. Can't want for the new update! :) This is driving 12 miles each way with 50/50 L.A. Mid city (Washington Blvd?) streets and 10 fwy.
  3. I have a fully loaded SE and it doesn't come with power driver seat.
  4. I've been having the same problem when stopping the lifegate midway. If i stop the lifegate midway, I have to click the remote a few times to start it up again.
  5. Anyone had a chance to replace the top brake lights? I bought the bulbs, but couldn't. From reading the OM, seems I need a 'suitable tool'. Wonder how the tool looks like???
  6. Just wondering, so the only bulbs that need to be canbus are the rear turn signal lights???
  7. Armoredsaint, Did you get the yellow side marker LED's installed? How did it go?
  8. Been thinking of adding Silver Stars for my headlights too. Can't wait to switch up all of my rear lights to LED's. Only hard problem I am getting is that I need a special tool to swap out the center brake lights!!! Ford, why couldn't you make it easier? Seems only the dealerships have this 'special' tool. :( Also, keep in mind that the Cargo Lights are really (I believe) W5W light bulbs.
  9. Hi all, So I finally started buying LED bulbs to replace on the car, and bought some W6W bulbs for the cargo lights as instructed in the Owner's Manual. They finally arrived, so I started to take out the old ones, when I noticed they are not W6W bulbs, but W5W ones!!! W6W are ones with a metal base W5W are wedge type with metal wires on the sides I wonder what went wrong? Also, switched out the license plate bulbs and noticed the plastic lens over the plates are positioned to have the bulbs facing right. With LED bulbs, you can tell the lights are not aligned correctly with the plates. Will post photos later.
  10. Hey JulieB, had the same problem when dealership updated me to 3.5.1 and just went to the diagnostic screen to fix it. Copied this from another site that worked for me: - Make sure there is no CD in the system - Set MFT to AM/FM - Press and hold the eject button and... - Immediately after press and hold the right arrow on the center wheel while still holding the eject button - Hold both buttons pressed for about 12 seconds - Screen goes black and MFT enters diagnostics mode Only hard thing to do is remember that your up is down and right is left. So if you need to click on a button on the top left, you need to touch the bottom right. Once you go to the diagnostic mode, I think the calibration section is found on the first button on the top left and then you should see the calibration button on the 2nd screen on the top right. Hope this helps!!!!
  11. Just noticed my front plate is just like your neighbors. Wonder if having it installed that high up would restrict the airflow???

  13. Well technically everything needed is already available on the C-Max. We have the composite input, we have an electrical outlet and we have in-car wifi. Put them all together and BAM! In-car online media streamer! Just doing it because it's possible. :)
  14. I'm really happy with my fully loaded SE. I do miss not having keyless entry and all the little perks the SEL has, but getting the car fully loaded and getting it for the price of the base SE makes it a great deal! I'm surely not going to complain, but keyless entry and push button would have been cool.
  15. Yeah, seems I thought it was capable of doing it easily. Well, been thinking of hooking up a Roku box to the car through composite, use my (hopefully arriving soon!) FreedomPop wireless modem and see if I can stream stuff. Sitting in the car during lunchtime is starting to sound better and better!!!! :)
  16. Hi all. Can't seem to find what's the correct format videos (on USB stick) have to be to in to watch on the screen while parked. Tried a few different format and would error message that they were copyrighted or something or other. Any help?
  17. Well, I got my Ingot Silver SE with 203A Package and Panoramic Roof for $24,995. Seems it was sitting at dealership since being produced in August '12 so I feel I got a great deal!!
  18. Any new update on solutions to adding LEDs? Thinking of adding LEDs to all the rear lights, but have bad memories of dealing with flickering lights after car turns off on last car.
  19. Hehehe could have sworn I saw the door handle light up red when the door was opened.
  20. Was the special pricing of $75 also includes Traffic and Travel Link?
  21. I could have sworn the inside handles on the rear doors lit up when I first got the car. Can't find any info stating if I'm correct or not. Any help?
  22. Have you tried rebooting the iPhone? Hold on power button even after the 'slide to power off' until the iphone turns off. Wait 5 minutes and power back on. That might help.
  23. So only thing 3.5.1 added was let you use A4 SD card, power distribution status screen??? Sorry, only had vehicle for 4 days before update so not sure what else was different between both versions.
  24. So changing any of these bulbs won't cause the 'bulb out' message to appear? Changed the brake lights on 2012 Focus with LED's and a message would come up every time! Plus, after turning off car, the bulbs would stay half bright and faintly flicker for 30 minutes.
  25. Well too, it back today and dealer was able to finally do the update, but touching the screen would input as a upside down, reverse touch. Took a bit to get to right diagnostic mode screen.
