You may have to go into the settings on the sync bluetooth connection on the phone and enable notifications.

I don’t see how that’s possible. Must be some other design.

Where does the condensation go?

No evap drain line? Say what?

It’s probably just a different name in the Middle East.

And good luck continuing to buy CDs in person: https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/6/16973538/bestbuy-target-cd-sales-vinyl-cassette

Why is it so hard for people to just say “I prefer that feature” without trying to justify it or make a case that it’s objectively better? There are plenty of things I prefer that aren’t necessarily the best from an objective standpoint. BTW - using iTunes is also simple. It only takes 1mouse click to rip a cd. From there you can copy songs to playlists and either copy the files from the iTunes library directly to the flash drive or I use a free program called iTunes export. Even if you don’t buy music online it’s still free and works well.

It is not more flexible because once you rip the songs to the internal hard drive they can’t be moved to another vehicle. It won’t hold as many songs as a USB drive or media player/phone. You can’t load downloaded songs without first burning them to a CD. With an iPhone I can purchase a new song from iTunes and play it immediately. I haven’t actually purchased a physical CD in many years. If you sell the vehicle or have to replace the head unit you lose all your songs and would have to re-rip them to a new vehicle or new head unit. You can use the media player/phone/usb stick with other devices - Bluetooth speakers, TVs, home stereos, etc. The ONLY advantage you get with the jukebox is that you don’t need a computer to rip the cds. But almost everyone has a computer nowadays, or a tablet or phone that allows digital downloads. Nobody is saying that it’s not a good system and if you prefer it that’s just fine. We’re not trying to tell you otherwise. But don’t try to justify your preference by saying it’s objectively better because it’s not. Just say that you like it better and nobody can argue with that.

The only reason that feature existed is because there was extra space left over on the hard drive in the head unit that was used for navigation. With Sync 2 (MFT) and Sync 3 that hard drive no longer exists, that’s why they got rid of it. And you’re one of only a few people that would prefer it over usb. If you like it that’s fine but don’t pretend that it’s a better option.

I believe they still use different radios and different transmissions so yes, there could be that much difference. Sirius may be doing more compression on some channels e.g.

My guess is the fuel economy with the 2.3T would probably be very very close to the 2.7T - maybe even the same. If you’re looking at Volvo and Audi you should at least look at the new Nautilus.

Not really. My 2000 Lincoln LS had a tow hook because it was meant to be sold in Europe. All cars sold in Europe need them. I think it’s simply up to the design team whether they keep that feature for US versions or not. So some vehicles (including cars) have them and some don’t.

Meaning there is no rhyme or reason when they decide to offer them or not offer them in the US.

It was changed because the USB/media player/phone option is way way way more convenient and because 99.999999% of buyers prefer it. You can put thousands of songs on a usb stick or iPod or your phone. When you change vehicles you can take it with you. You can use music that’s only downloaded where you don’t even have a CD. All it takes to convert a CD to a usb stick is a laptop, free software and 10 minutes. No more than it takes to rip the cd to the jukebox. You can do custom playlists. You can also choose songs by artist, song title, album or playlist or genre by voice.

Because tow hooks are required by law in Europe, not because the mfr just decided to put them there. It’s luck of the draw whether they decide to carry them over to the US or not.

Stay home.....

It lists what is included in the tow package which is what I thought you were referring to.

Read the codes and stop guessing. Could still be a bad sensor/loose sensor wire.

Jmr061 already posted that info in post #11.

Much. Some people think it will change if you change drivers - that’s the part that people get confused about.

Here we go again. The tranny doesn’t learn your driving style. It relearns shift pressure to keep the shifts within factory spec. This is to account for wear over time and for manufacturing tolerances.

Pretty sure it uses the last 500 mile average.

A much better solution.

I don’t know what it is on the F150 - I can’t afford to wait until it’s that close to empty to fill it up (36 gallon tank). On the bright side I get 700 miles per tank!

Strange. Our MKX is back to warning at exactly 50 miles to empty. Anybody else with a 2015+ Edge or MKX?
