Samsung Galaxy phones + Sync =?
Arthur replied to fotomoto's topic in Audio, MyFord, Navigation & SYNC
I use Track Phones, a flip up and a Galaxy Android 4.0 both work fine. The Galaxy uses more of the features. -
I had a couple, hit them with the hand and it solved the problem!

Did it work, did you find one? I would like to change the front passenger seat to an all electric one, we find the SEL Passenger seat very uncomfortable, Ford should have included one.

Ford was short minded on the visors, useless on the side windows.

Auto Climate control changed... Not what I like.
Arthur replied to Arthur's topic in Climate Control
DrDiesel1, Last winter it worked the way I liked it, all automatic, but with the computer upgrades they have done away with the auto, now it is as you say, the temps inside and out will make the adjustments, and it also takes another extra mile to warm up so the heat will start on the window. I guess I'm getting too fussy in my old age! -
Just back from the dealer for the last recall, while there, I had them check my Auto/climate controls, as no air is coming from the Dash out lets, seems the last update to the computer (mileage adjustment) changed the way the Climate delivers the heat, when starting the car in the cool weather, all the air is going to the windshield, and out of the small port on top next to the side windows, and down to the floor. To get the air to the dash, one has to push the buttons! That's the way it is, and can not be changed back to the way it was when I purchased the car. The mechanic had a talk with me, and he called Ford directly, giving him the run down. If you turn the temperature down, to what I call cold, the air will come from the dash. All this has something to do with the difference in Temperature from the outside and the temperature inside.

Anyone getting better MPG with the new update?
Arthur replied to armoredsaint's topic in General Discussion
I think the warm of the summer sun did more for the mileage than the update. -
I got my $550..! I guess I should'a sent it back, seeings I'm get'en 47 or more on all my trips, :happy feet: wish the mileage would stay up in the wint'a..

My mileage did not go up much until the car hit 10000 now it is over 50mpg on any trip from 50 to 200 miles, my life time has gone from 38 to 41.3, everyday mpg avg is 44.4, Interstate driving even with the new update to 85mph, is still in the mid 40's. Most of my trips are State local roads, at 50/60 mph. This is all C-Max computer info.

Don't only rotate the tires, get the car lined up 4 wheel alignment, I knew but didn't do it for 8000, so now I have 'cupped' tires, (rear) dumb me, I have never purchased a new car that did not need 4 wheel alignment, and this was one of them, now I have a lot of noise and it is a pain in the ear, but I'll wear them out before I buy new just to punish my self.

Tips for Renewing Sirius Radio Subcription
Arthur replied to Laurel's topic in Audio, MyFord, Navigation & SYNC
I enjoy having Sirius, and the Weather through Sirius which uses the Nav maps, the Weather cost 1.00 extra per month, and is not automatic with the Sirius subscription, I had to order it. -
I have not had any problems with Sync, or the MyTouch systems, I'm using 3.6 now, it's my Tracfone that will not work with Sync, works fine with MFT..
