Eeeeek! I'm getting a new ACM AND the update 13B07
zhackwyatt replied to Adair's topic in Fuel Mileage
And Rachel? -
The last update was with MFT 3.5.1 version. It includes the A4 SD card.
-
Oh I stand corrected, it didn't used to even have that option. I did a quick google, have you tried this as a workaround: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4907596?start=0&tstart=0 Deleting the country code from the contact?

I don't have the update so this is more of a question... Can you tell if the update was applied correctly by looking at the hybrid display on the MFT screen (assuming you have MFT) at say 70 mph. If it shows, Engine on due to Acceleration but does NOT say due to High Speed. This to me, would indicate you have the update, but your conditions don't warrant EV (i.e. battery not charged enough, etc.) Currently, w/o the update, it will show High Speed indicating no matter what you do, EV mode will not come on going that fast.

You right, I was just assuming a flat road though. -
Yeah, I live in Phoenix, my A/C is between 72 and 70, always. Night, day doesn't matter. (Just cause its dark doesn't mean its not 100 outside) :runaway:

I believe L also does Engine braking.

New Smartphone: Which one works well with your car?

MFT 3.6 fixes the problems I was having. -
BTW, did you wait until the second update successful screen before removing the flash drive, or did you pull it out too soon?

I updated to 3.6 on my way home. No issues, and reported a successful install just fine. It fixed the text messaging problems I had w/ the 3.5 update and everything seems much more responsive. :love_shower:

13B07 is not a MFT update. It updates the PCM, a different computer. MFT is the APM.

Technically I would say being able to have Nav favorites from the phonebook is a feature that is lacking, not a problem, because MFT never says it supports this. Anywho, try to run a Vehicle Health Report and see if that updates the sync website w/ the correct version number.

zhackwyatt replied to Adair's topic in Fuel Mileage
Do you use the Empower mode in the gauge? You can see the power demands of the car versus the threshold it takes to get into EV. I don't have the FE update yet, so I have not played with EV at high speeds, but even around 45 mph sometimes using Cruise doesn't get into EV when I think it should. Eco Cruise doesn't do anything "special" to get into EV. It's just holding the car at a steady speed. When you are using your foot, if you ever drop below that blue line (which is very easy to do) then you'll go into EV mode. But when in Eco Cruise, it'll never really drop unless the power demand drops, like going down an incline. -

zhackwyatt replied to Adair's topic in Fuel Mileage
Have you tried pulling the left paddle on the steering wheel, let it drop in EV and then pulling it again? This just temporarily disables cruise, instead of having to press the brake. -
Ah, I noticed it because I use remote start so I approach the vehicle with it running. I never took it in for that because I always assumed it was normal because other people reported the same. I figured it has the added bonus of alerting people so they don't walk in front of me :detective:

You mean your A/C was quiet before? Mine has always sounded like a chain saw.
-
If my car has been sitting out in the heat all day, and in the Auto setting, it takes a few seconds for my fan to turn on (so the car doesn't blow hot air on me). However, using the manual settings, I believe it is immediate. Your car does not behave like mine.
-
I haven't had it done yet, but I'm hoping the A/C updates will improve this. I drive somewhere, it's 110 degrees out, A/C compressor works full strength and then just about when it starts to decrease energy use, I get to my destination. Go in the store, come back, and restart the process to the next place.

New Smartphone: Which one works well with your car?
zhackwyatt replied to locot's topic in Audio, MyFord, Navigation & SYNC
I have the HTC one. Texting worked fine w/ MFT 3.1.3. W/ 3.5 sync says messaging isn't supported with the device whenever I try to send text messages or tell it to read messages, but it will read mesages to me as they come in. I haven't tried to troubleshoot. 3.6 is out, and I'm going to upgrade to that first to see what happens. -

Here is one I made. I think this has been posted here, but I found a bunch here: http://focusmftwallpapers.tumblr.com/ -

A cheesy MFT wallpaper I made. -
Thanks. I also find it interesting that the Cruise Control on the Fusion wills how the set mileage but not on the C-Max.
