Undercarriage cover comes loose
zhackwyatt replied to mnrobitaille's topic in Body Panels, Trim, etc.
Am I missing something here? If it's held in w/ bolts, how does that jive w/ the caps statement? Bolts would not just magically come out.- 5 replies

Can the C-Max be used to jump start another vehicle?
zhackwyatt replied to Bill-N's topic in Batteries
The battery is in the back by the High-Voltage battery. Anyways, I jumped my Explorer, didn't require any flooring of the engine for me, but I wouldn't call it d-e-a-d either. :) -
Navigation package satisfaction?
zhackwyatt replied to lpr's topic in Audio, MyFord, Navigation & SYNC
I had a similar problem. They applied the newest updates and it improved it but didn't fix it. Ford told them to replace the Navigation SD Card. So far, fingers crossed, I have not had any issues since. -
It is nice in the Ford Explorer when you have cooled seats and independent, left, right, and rear controls. Touchscreen can sometimes prevent information easier (due to contextual controls) instead of having a million physical buttons. In the C-Max, I always use the physical Climate controls.

Only 1000 sold in Canada in the last 14 months
zhackwyatt replied to Laurel's topic in Lounge: Off-Topic
That's the spirit. Maybe if the C-Max came w/ a hockey stick? But seriously, if I recall you said that you see a lot of Prius's up there. It's strange the C-Max doesn't sell. Do you see any Ford Fusion Hybrid's or any Ford's at all? Maybe it's a Ford Brand prejudice? -
Google Now/Siri wouldn't work if they didn't have a server farm behind it. MFT doesn't have an always on internet connection.

MFT is covered by a 5-year unlimited mile warranty.

Hatch issues, even after the update by the dealer
zhackwyatt replied to armoredsaint's topic in Body Panels, Trim, etc.
Because it's not a "non-working feature". It works just fine for most people. Perhaps its broken on your care. -
OR a misunderstanding of how the technology works. The C-Max Energi has a cell modem in it, so yes, in the Energi you can be tracked. The non-energi C-Max does not have a modem, so there is no way to be tracked.

Question about remote start install...
zhackwyatt replied to bigalpha's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
No. I don't think that ever works with the car running. -
Remember all versions of Sync have navigation even if you don't buy the navigation package in MFT or even if you don't have MFT at all. It works with Sync Services. http://www.ford.com/technology/sync/packages/

Actual MPG of C-Max gasoline engine (ICE): Can they do better?
zhackwyatt replied to Hybrid dude's topic in Fuel Mileage
I'm an engineer so that helps. But to make you feel better, I burn food, my birds would fly away, and I have a brown thumb, lol. -

Trailer hitch supplier?
zhackwyatt replied to spinner's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
Just for my due diligence, from the Owner's manual: -
I just got mine done on Monday. I've noticed 0 changes in driving style and sound. If your dealer says everything was successful, I would take it to a different dealer instead.
-
The engine will turn in the C-Max w/o using fuel sometimes. Usually when the battery is fully charged.
-
Why not just use Auto and lower the temp? Especially w/ the FE update, it seems to decrease compressor usage and increase fan usage compared to before.
-
The Monroney label is the window sticker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroney_sticker). Probably there to reflect that the EPA MPG is dropping from 47. The dealer should be able to tell you what updates you need based on your VIN. BTW, 3.6.2 is the latest version of MFT, not 3.5.1.

Says that for everyone. Must be website error.

Sending Texts Through MFT
zhackwyatt replied to nsteblay's topic in Audio, MyFord, Navigation & SYNC
I can send and receive with my HTC One. The only issue is if I send, the message shows up as pending in my phone, eventhough it does indeed get sent. If i restart my phone all the pending messages go again. I think it's the phones fault. -
I disagree. I just think 1 bad person can bring your day down much more than 10 good people bring it up.
