Cool man. I will still work on the photo for future reference. Looks like our two installers see the module in a different way. I have a line out converter running off that amp/sync module and it works for me. Too bad you're not in Chicago otherwise I can have this guy check your issue out.

New Radio for Ford C-Max
Kidonedatone replied to jockamobeatz's topic in Audio, MyFord, Navigation & SYNC
Pretty cool, but I wonder how it would work for climate control and stuff if you're a MFT user? Are you aiming for better audio quality? -
Will do! Ill try to get a picture for you guys this weekend... I've got a busy week of work so bare with me. On a side note I managed to increase the audio quality overall. Turns out the guy set the balance all the way to the rear and I'm thinking the noise cancellation picks up on that. So I just set the audio two notches behind center and now she kicks just fine. Ahhh... Relief... I thought there was no hope with this setup but now I'm happy with the sounds quality!

Okay so I got the 8" sub installed and it sounds okay but now I wish I just got a 10" as it doesn't fill in the lows too nice... Boo... Anyways I found out something that may be helpful for any future projects (pending you don't know this already). The factory amp is located behind the glove box at the top right. The guy doing my installation showed me and told me this would be the best place to tap the speakers. Makes allot of sense because from this point you can decide weather to tap before or after the factory amp. In any case I now have a blueprint to work off of if I decide to upgrade my subs or add a 4 channel. The person I went to also said we are okay to use the stock battery up to a certain point. Meaning if i gets to the point where you will be adding cap, or a high watt amp, we will have to change the battery out for something more powerful. At that point personally i wouldn't want to do it because the draw can affect our MPG. I think the factory speakers will work fine but I suggest getting a sub to fill out those lows. I bought this: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-8WQm5TS3yid/p_777B8PT/Sound-Ordnance-B-8PT.html I suggest maybe taking it a step or two higher. I didn't account for square footage in my car so the sub may be a little too weak for what I wanted. PS- If you want a picture of where the factory amp is located let me know. I would probably be able to do that sometime this week.

Screen protector for MyFord Touch screen?

This is what I used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B7DC4CQ/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 works great! No haze, anti glare, and fingerprints don't stick. I can take a pick during my lunch break if anything. No loss of quality on the screen. Believe me... I have an OCD for small details... -
Dang man what a headache from the sounds of it.... I just ordered a Sound Ordnance 8 inch sub to put under my seat so that I get some lows. The audio just sounds way too pitchy for me... Hopefully I don't get that fabled womp womp noise you mentioned due to the Noise Cancellation... Yeah... Gone are the days of getting the low end audio package and beefing it up... I'll keep you posted as I may get this all installed this week.

I HAVE FOUND THE ILLUSIVE MPG SWEET SPOT!
Kidonedatone replied to Generalbeluga's topic in Hybrid Driving Tips & Tricks
I had this experience too! Except my trick is I get it up to 70mph, then while in empower mode I try to keep the kW under the 3rd notch (starting from the 0 notch) It slows down little by little but you see the mpg bouncing around 40 and eventually kick into EV mode when (it will gradually slow down to around 65). Wash, rinse, repeat! -

I figure keep an eye on this site. Our model is fairly new so it may take a while for it to come out: http://store.ijdmtoy.com/ Maybe it'll come with a special relay and switch assembly as well. I'll let you guys know if I see anything. -
Named mine leche. Even though I'm not of Hispanic origin it seemed fitting... Hahaha

Yeah I fell in love with the white. I originally wanted the sterling grey until I saw the white one. So sexy! Still getting used to easing off the lead foot though. In time I guess...

Coverted from a Eclipse to a C-Max. I'm happy with my choice and interested in sharing my experiences with you all!
