where did you see the statement that Iphone Text Compatibility? Have never seen anything about this, since Apple does not utilize the stock SMS protocol for text messages, it uses the proprietary Imessage protocol with is run off the data - either cellular or wi-fi and goes to a server farm that is run by Apple. Mine is still sitting at the dealer with the dashboard missing a lot of pierces so I can't see if it works

Personally I would report it to Ford as a complaint about the dealership, their service and they PP attitude

they won;t admit it but suspect they are fork lifting the entire assembly, unfortunately doubt it will fix the average of 35 MPG, but I guess I can live with that.

Curiosity got the best of me this morning, wandered down to the dealer to see if there was a status. Saw the car and there are a lot of pieces missing from the dash and return date has slipped to Thursday.

was under the impression that the A/C was run off a electric motor so not sure how it would affect gas mileage as it does in normal cars. What am I missing

I live right in between two very popular restaurants on either end of the block, on either side of my driveway is a No Parking sign, violators will be towed. About once a month I call the tow company to come get a car out of my driveway opening, the most recent was the last Friday, car was hooked and towed, owner could not pick it up unit this Tuesday, was a really expensive dinner for them - 300.00 tow charge, 100.00 a day storage, lot is not open on weekends or holidays. My job has me on call 7x24x365 and if I get called I have to get there as quickly as possible. By the way to the OP - the ticket is the proof that the officer was there. He or she was negligent in not pursuing the damage to personal property, the witch had no right to do what she did. Around here if the property damage is more then 750.00 it is a Class D felony, if under 750 it is a Class B misdemeanor, in a lot of the cases a 2nd degree Tampering charge can also be filed a class A misdemeanor. Not sure what the laws are in your area though

Wifey 1.0 has been replaced by 5.0 this past year, it now has the add-on of Attorney 4.0, it BSOD;'s your bank account now

check the SD card, make sure it is A4 and not A3

Guess so - Got a call from the dealership yesterday, they came over and picked up the car, leaving my a Mustang GT Convertible and are going to go over the vehicle from top to bottom, they promised that 3.5.1 will be installed, they will long term test the car and make sure that everything is working as it is supposed to. They requested as much information as possible, including the destinations that I use that result in the car being shown a mile and half off the road and other ones that show routing issues. Dealer originally said that the car should be ready to be picked up by Friday but they just called me it will be at least Tuesday of next week. suspect they have found something. Meanwhile I get to play with the Mustang

dealer came by and took mine the other day and will keep it until they resolve the issues that I have been experiencing with the systems.He dropped off a Mustang GT convertible as a loner until next week, having a ball with it. weather is great right now and the exhaust rumble brings back memories of my youth.

It was tested worked for about 5 days then started putting me back in the middle of the river when I drive up the river road, at least the car thinks it is getting washed all the time [update] Guess my incessant complaining about faulty systems finally got through. Just got a call from the dealership, they came over and picked up the car, leaving my a loaner (but s nice Mustang GT convertible) and are going to go over the vehicle from top to bottom, they promised that 3.5.1 will be installed, they will long term test the car and make sure that everything is working as it is supposed to. They requested as much information as possible, including the routes that I use that result in the car being shown a mile and half off the road and other ones that show routing issues. Dealer said that the car should be ready to be picked up either Friday or Tuesday of next week with a full tank of gas and washed / waxed

GPS sensor has been replaced, TSB has been installed and still getting the issue. Just got informed I am in line for a department car so this is pretty much a mute point for me now even if they finally do install the updated.

Must be related to dealership ranking, dealer I use had 7 on the lot, 3 with sold stickers and a truck pulled up with 4 more, don;t know what they had on the other 2 ford dealerships they own. will be hitting them up again on 3.5.1 on Tuesday and call ford IVT team again.

Dealer has Saturday service, just got back from them, no joy and mine was a early October acquisition with a build date of July

Not challenging you on anything, also not worth the effort to attack another poster - although I will defend when I am attacked as I have in the past. sorry but calling is a POS is being nice and is not the language that I would use. I don;t look at this vehicle with rose colored glasses, the unit is faulty and I expect the manufacturer to step up and fix it. Going to start working this issue the best way that I know since it is useless to call the manufacturer and I am tied of begging for a permanent fix. As far as your jaguar goes - they always had a reputation of being a POS, same as the MG-B and most british sponsored cars that came to the us. Mine has lived up to it's reputation also - as being a lemon, and have told numerous people that have asked me exactly that.

glad that you are more financially secure then I am, but civil servants don;t make a lot of money considering the danger we are put into.

you willing to make up the difference is monetary loss I would incur if I trade this SDT in? Not willing to take a 12k financial hit on the car, Did not think so. If I pay 33K plus for something I expect it to function correctly. I will bet you 100.00 that if I put my comments on this car in the exact terms that I am feeling you WILL redact it. I am sick and tired of being told that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle and that there is no fixes coming down the line. It ranks right up there with the 3 greatest lies in the world. Ford and most of their dealers are so far out of touch on this car that the the "special services support team" did not even know that there was supposed to be a divider in the front cup holder. It took me 5 months to convince them that the piece actually existed and then it was pure luck that when I was in talking to their service specialist that 3 brand new cars where rolled off the deliver truck and they all had it in their glove box - the new car preparation people where throwing them away because they did not know where they went - Ford still has no idea what the part number for the piece is - and they designed it. Bottom line I want a functional car that every option that I have performs correctly, no lock ups on the sync system, a working navigation system (tbs installed and new gps modules) and a myriad of other annoying faults that are tied to the faulty software release in the Pre-2013 manufactured vehicles - what is wrong with that? Maybe I have more exacting standards.

Not a sense of humor - I don;t have one, more like reality, tired of being jerked around by ford. If I wanted to be jerked around with incompetence I would call my ex-wife. If I stated exactly how I felt the moderators would be right on top of it and redact the heck out of it. If I pay 33K plus for something I expect it to work correctly. as of right now it is not working correctly and there is no resolution from ford on the event horizon.

Spoke to IVT specialist again today at ford, new story no eta on when it will be available for early adopters - specialist reminded me of the Mayor in the old dolly Parton movie with Burt Reynolds about the Chicken Ranch.

glad it worked for you, not here though

It has been reported that there is a software flaw in the PCM rom on the C-Max's that where built prior to 1/1/2013, ford is "working" on developing a software fix, it has been suggested and ignored that the best "fix" is to forklift the old pcm out and put one of the newer ones in since it is a dealer replaceable part

If you match the part number to the exploded picture of the console that point at the actual cup holder, maybe it is a part that comes with it. have an appointment for service again in about an hour will talk to the service manager about it [EDIT] Follow up Both part numbers are not it, on DJ54-S046C07 the parts guy suspects it is a engineering number, nothing is listed for it. The other item for 38.47 is the insert at the bottom. One bit of luck, while I was there a transport truck pulled up with 3 new C-Max's on it. As soon as they rolled off the truck the service manager and I looked in them, all 3 had the piece in the console box. Seems the assemble people did not know what they were or where they went and were just throwing them in a box under the work bench. Now they know and now I have mine:)

The same basic thing has been said since December of 2012, I still stand by vaporware until it when it is installed - still in the "the check is in the mail" category. Personally things QTR 4 2014. Have had to many sync installed vehicles that have never had any upgrades to fix problems and faults

And you have had the GPS sensor checked along with the TSB? If so then it just shows that the navigation on the car is poorly designed and coded

That is if Ford can find them, not even the Customer Support people have any idea what it is or where to look for them MTB9153 is there a part number on the elusive item?
