  1. time is not my friend during the day, I work a 1:30 PM to 9:30 PM patrol so I budget daytime hours carefully, will call dealer and see if they know for sure
  2. It was enough to send out a snail mail notification, that is justification enough for me. Wonder how long it takes to install
  3. mine works on and off, right now it is working but will take care in for the recall just to get it off the list. Better safe then sorry
  4. key word "subscribers" - NOT subscribers that actually own the product in question. Would not trust anything that that rag has published, many years back when I did trust them they reported the car seat I paid a lot of money for when my daughter needed one failed all the tests, not withstanding that the NHSTA passed it with flying colors, I trusted them and got rid of it - a month latter it was reported in the news that CR used the wrong testing requirements for the seats and they withdrew the article. A CR report and "survey" is only good for one thing - lining the bottom a bird cage - if the bird agrees
  5. Level of tint is easy - 0 for the front windshield below 3 inches from the top, 35 percent on the front 2 windows, any darkness on the back windows and doors here, but there are 49 other laws to pay attention to, the is no law in and of the states the US that requires DRL so the choice is up to the manufacturer unless the car is sold or shipped to Canada which does require DRL
  6. I realize exactly what you are saying, if you reread my replay I state that I understand it and it is exactly what I stated, the problem is, to utilize this functionality in 27 states and it is a moving violation - that is the issue, wipers are continuously moving as if they where on low or high by law in 27 states that headlights are required to be on. a caveat to this little blurb of information is to state that utilized the option will violate traffic laws in your state. Lets be honest - 99.9 percent of new car owners never open the owners manual. With the exception of this feature everything else fits within the traffic code.
  7. explain in detail, don't do TLA's unless they are a numeric call code. The headlights do not come on when the wipers are set for auto sense, which is illegal and considered a moving violation in 27 states and punishable by a fine and in some cases a class B misdemeanor unless an accident occurs then it is class A
  8. As of April 2010, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia have wipers on, lights on laws interesting, will set mine to off for the auto sense wipers, kind of a major issue in the above states, guess ford did not to their research to well on traffic law compliance
  9. they made their first impression on me back in 1972, it has not changed so I still drive the brand, both personally and for work
  10. Signature or no signature required it does not matter, have had 2,000.00 worth of computer parts dropped on my porch by FedEx and was signature required and have NEWEGG in 24 point type on all sides of the box
  11. Been driving and leasing fords since 1972, I may whine about the unfulfilled promises on the c-max but I will never desert ford for a lot of reasons, the primary one being they never took the dole bailout but stood on their own. I respect that and if I actually got rid of my c-max it would be for another ford, I won;t let the department car go since it is currently a ford and the replacement is a chevy. I don;t do foreign SDT's no matter what. they can pry my ford from my cold dead hands.
  12. true they make some noise, but when they sound like a weed whacker that can be head in the cabin of the car and by the people in the car next to you there is an issue. Took it into the dealer, dealer fork lifted the A/C per tech, replaced and no noise anymore
  13. never setup this particular forum software but on the ones I am familiar with it can mean that the message recipient put you on ignore
  14. Nice they are fixing the hacks for the 5S and 5C and ignoring that 2 of the 3 hacks also affect every other iphone that got updated with that upgrade. Glad I only updated the Ipad and left my phone on 6, the one that I have all my banking and financial apps
  15. 7.01? No updates available on Apple, no indications in the new that there was a new update made to the IOS 7, what carrier do you have?
  16. Where did you get the tracking information?
  17. the errors for roads that have been re-routed, exits and entrances to the highways that have been closed or opened that where done 5 years ago where on A3, the same exact errors are on the A4. would have thought they would have made sure that entrances and exits to major interstates that where moved or closed when they rebuilt 25 miles of the interstate would have been included in the A4 build, heck they should have been on the A3 set.
  18. Have a street here that has been one way to the east for about 20 years, it has been reported to the various gps manufacturers and even with A4 it tell you to turn west on the street
  19. every time I try to enable that it tells me I don;t have a supported device, but I do hear the incoming
  20. uuum no - car came with 3.1.3 installed from the factory when it was built in mid 2012, dealer upgraded it to 3.5.1 when it finally was released for the C-Max, asked the dealer to do it, wsa told they can't, downloaded it and popped the USB drive into the slot, it loaded 3.6.2 without a glitch, updated SyncMyRide with the successful installation
  21. never could send the canned texts with the iphone going all the way back to 3GS. not even the canned ones
  22. It is a stoppable offense with a increasing fine for multiple offenders here and as of Jan 01 2014 utilizing a cell phone with out hands free will also become a stoppable offense with the same increasing fine for multiple offenders
  23. receive only, no send probably because of Apple's proprietary Imessage servers
  24. by ford website do you mean etis or ford owners site? Don;t have it on either
