FWIW dealer charged me $45 labor and $25 parts to replace it. Part #: CV6Z-19N619-A

It happened to me quite regularly. My dealer got on the phone with Ford and they decided to replace the SD Card that has the Maps on it. Hasn't happened since.

I have Crystalline 70 on the front Windshield. Everyone I know says they didn't notice it until I pointed it out to them. I'm happy with it.

I live in Phoenix too and have been using the cheap Walmart shade. It's super convenient as I can tuck it between the seat and the center console. I'm hesitant to get one of these more expensive ones because I expect it to end up in the backseat when folded and then inevitably in the very back when I haul 3 other people around. Have you noticed a significant different in temperature between a cheap one and the more expensive ones? Thanks for the info.

I prefer Meguiar's Quick Detailer. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AMLWH8/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000AMLWH8&linkCode=as2&tag=calipso-20&linkId=IGK4KALXLQJQ4JTD Another option is to also put window film on all the windows, including the windshield (clear on the front of course). I have 3M Crystalline which blocks 99.9% of UV.

All my files are inside folders. I use Windows Media Player to sync to the drive and it worked just fine. It puts the music in Artist and the Album folders. In the past I've heard about strange characters in file/folder names and in the file meta data that can cause problems with SYNC.

I got 3M Crystalline 40 on the sides and back, and 70 on the front windshield. I live in Phoenix, so its important out here as well. Here are a couple topics on the subject. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/3262-window-tinting/ http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/291-tinted-windows/

I haven't had any problems since the last update. I thought I read that Ford claimed responsiblity for MFT and Microsoft wasn't really at fault?

China Lake?

I bet it's just the technology they use is capacitive. Same reason you can't use an iPhone with gloves on.

Do you know what system you had installed?

My point is it's just conjecture. We don't really know.

Sync has always used Microsoft with or without MFT. I'm not sure it's fair to put the blame on Microsoft because we don't know the specifics of why AppLink is not in the MFT system.

Do you have MFT? If you do, you can use the Hybrid display on the main screen and it will give you an indication of why the engine is on.
