So the smell. It’s horrible. It happens when the defrost is on. So I’ve got the air set for inside. The smell is fine. I have the windshield defrost on. And feet on and or the dash on. The air goes automatically to outside air then smells horrible. I can tell immediately when it changes because the air pressure is less. And it smells horrible. I have to turn on inside air again. Then the bad smell goes away and air pressure ramps up a bit. This happens all the time. If I use only the dash front vents this don’t happen. The air stays on inside. No bad smell. Only when defrost is on with feet or center on does it automatically shut off inside air and go to outside air then smells bad. This smell is not outside smell. Because outside is fine. im desperately needing to fix this smell issue. I took car in before and they changed air filter. No idea which filter. Smell maybe was ok for a bit. Then crummy smell again.

How do I get rid of the oil change prompt without changing oil? I still want to wait a bit.

Is there any way to stop this? why does it do this? It thinks it’s too humid or something? Weird. thanks.

Hi. When I am using my heater/ac and using defrost vents or anything not straight out I have it set for inside air only. It turns this off by itself then there’s a smell. I can tell immediately because the fan speed changes and the smell. I’ll push the button back to inside air. After a bit it’ll go back to outside air by itself. I use the windshield and feet setting. The only time it stays inside air is when using the front vents that hit you in the face. On the display it’s the arrow pointing right. That’s the only time the setting I chose for inside or outside air will stay put. But even then it has switched on it’s own to outside air sometimes. Just not as often. And the bad smell is not an outside smell. I have already had the Ford dealer change a filter but that didn’t help. Temp settings don’t make a difference. This is on my 2013 cmax sel.

Hi. There’s no way to move wires. It’s a big one that’s tight. I’ll show a picture sometime. But I agree I should test them. Thanks for the suggestion. There’s one site. I forget the name. They were selling Sync 3 for $600 with no map. $1200 or so with map. Then they raised the price to about $1200 no map and $2400 for map. Map means built in Nav. I forget exact cost but roughy 3 times higher. They look like a bunch of kids. Not official. So no way of knowing if it’s legit. I would upgrade to Sync 3 with Navigation but don’t know if it’s legit and the cost is insane. I don’t understand how someone can legally sell these. Spotify does play. But not always with track info. Said unknown once. On an Abbott and Costello track. But it does seem to work so far. I’ll try to share a picture of under my glove box soon. I was diagnosed with Shingles last Thursday so my sleep is all messed up and for some stuff it’s hard to think clearly. I’m on Gabapentin to help with nerve pain.

Hi guys. Thanks so much. I can’t access the fuses. There’s no room. Wires in the way. I see the box under the glove compartment tho. Just can’t access it. Music works. I paired my phone like I said. Nothing worked. But I had to I guess re download all Spotify music. I don’t know why since I never deleted any. Seems ok now. But I still have no room with the fuse box. Grr. Is there a legit way to get Sync 3?

Can’t reach fuse. Can’t take box out. No room. I saw the box but can’t remove it and can’t see 79 unless I remove it. Can’t.

Don’t work. Phone connected via Bluetooth. Spotify says it’s playing to Bluetooth Sync. Car radio has no sound.

Thanks. My phone has not been set up with the car Bluetooth. I’d only use that for audio. I’ll try and see what happens. Why would I play Spotify ok then sometimes the car says not supported when nothing changed?

I am using USB. I didn’t know you could do Bluetooth audio. How would I set that up? So why does this work with Apple Music but not Spotify? At least not reliably with Spotify?

This in the manual? I have no idea about the fuses. Haha. Fuses. Like buses but not.

Android won’t work at all. It don’t see anything.

I have the 2013 cmax sel. I used to be able to play music from my iPhone. It would work with Spotify and Apple Music. Music downloaded. Now it won’t play Spotify. Nothing has changed. It just says can’t read. Might be corrupt etc. I have gotten that message many times before today and it would eventually work. I’d unplug the phone and plug in etc. sometimes it would play but not show the song name etc. it’d say not readable but still play. Now it won’t do anything. Apple Music is fine tho.

So the air stays inside when the windshield vents are not on. What gives?

I have the 2013 cmax sel. Can I get rid of the ANC if there really is any? i was in an Acura 2004 MDX and my ears felt better then in my car. I think so. I don’t get it. im scared I have to save for another car because I don’t want to hurt my ears every time I drive. There’s gotta be something that can be done. I hope.
