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.

Is this smoothness thing a recall or a TSB? If it's a TSB then the fix will only be applied if the owner reports the car is having that problem and so won't show up on etis.

Fuelly is still biased towards the pre FE update numbers. I have 10 months of pre FE Update numbers, and only about 3 and half of post-update numbers. I'm thinking I have 6.5 months before my pre FE update and post FE update cancel each other out. Then after that the real numbers show. I'm sorry to the Mathematicians out there, at least it all makes sense in my head :confused:

I'll be honest, I'll sell the C-Max in a heartbeat if I can get a self-driving car, just jump in and go along for the ride :shoppingcart_: http://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2013/12/12/ford-reveals-automated-fusion-hybrid-research-vehicle--teams-up-.html

Everybody always forgets about Sync Services to that you can call and get destinations downloaded to the car. I find when I have problems with POI, it's because the place isn't in the car's database (only so much can fit on that SD card) in the first place.

I haven't tested this but what happens if you turn the temp dial to Lo and then turn off a/c and slow down the fan. Does it put it back to 60 or do what you want?

Have you had your SD Card replaced? That fixed my navigation issues.

Why? Some folks perform their own oil changes.

Good job, better version than mine: http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/2648-show-us-your-wallpaper/?p=27976

The factory option gives you one FOB (for door unlock and liftgate open, etc), and integration into the cars display left of the speedometer. The dealer option gives you a seperate fob for remote start w/ no integration into the displays, it just simply starts the car. They are all made by Ford (at least the ones I'm talking about).

Good info but that's my point. I did test it, and it does a good job of shutting off the outlet.
