Welcome!

 

Do you know anything about the navigation problem where it locks onto parallel streets and tries to reroute?

 

See last few posts in thread titled Navigation Package Satisfaction.  (for some reason I can't insert a link or paste it)

I'll take a look at the thread. :)

Yeah - that.  I have had that on every GM car I have owned since '94 - can't understand why it doesn't display, since we have been told by a forum member who is a Ford Service Technician that the oil life remaining is calculated and visible on his proprietary scan tool - just not on our dash display.

 

While you're at it, a numeric display of instantaneous fuel economy would be better than that lame bar graph.  Finally, how about a display of actual tire pressure - not just a warning when one or more are low.  I know every car is a compromise between costs and benefits, but none of these requests would require any new hardware or add any additional cost to the car.

Welcome Rebecca,

 

I know it is wishful thinking, but it would be great to have a diagnostic screen that shows all the sensor values.

Tire pressure, oil pressure.

Coolant temperature, battery temperature, AC compressor temperature, heater core temperature, oil temperature, inside ambient temperature, inside humidity, etc.

LV battery voltage, LV battery power, HV battery voltage, HV battery power/current.

And of course oil monitor life. (with a reset button)

And several engine sensor values.

Thanks! I'll go ahead and submit these as well, but don't forget to also post them on www.Social.Ford.com under the Your Ideas selction.

Aww, what a warm welcome. Thanks, everyone! :love_shower:

Your suggestions are fantastic, and I'll definitely pass them along. You can also post them on www.Social.Ford.com under Your Ideas for all owners to vote and comment on (it's fun).

Welcome Rebecca, Just wondering if Ford did away with the "lifetime summary" on the Cmax as I have it on my Fusion hybrid which is also 2013 with the same display. Just can't seem to find it with scrolling. Tnx in adv.

My sources say this has been removed, but make your voice heard with the above link. You never know, it could always make a comeback.
 

When will Bluetooth streamed Spotify start showing artist, album and other information?  That would be a really great enhancement.

Most apps won't show this information via Bluetooth streaming; however, I will pass this along as well. :)

Thanks for the welcome, LizM and Adair! I look forward to helping out and I've already been lurking on a few threads.

Just in case anyone looks at this thread. If an update does not take and this is posable it is posable that the dealer may have in their computers that your car is good but when you get the notice on sync my ride you may be out of date. There are some updates that will not take unless they are done in order. You can call or email the synce guys and ask them what version number should. Show when you go to settings then help. It's a different number than the version they give us on line. They will walk you through it if you ask.

Theses updates are very important. Some may be more important for those that have nav and others may even change the PCM functionality. You must not ignore notices if you get a notice something is preventing you from enjoying your car as much as you could be.

 

Good luck

Thanks for posting that, Tellio22@gmail.com. Some vehicles do require other modules to be updated as well as MyFord Touch; these will be the updates requiring a dealership visit. Most MFT updates will be available via your SYNC account though. :)
