  1. These CD players will plug into a Ford Sync-4 USB data port and allow control of the music through the steering wheel buttons. https://share.google/JOUVRO9schVqQ83QI https://share.google/AUDZbBsW9GuaHvLTa https://share.google/bQStB1tuNWteplWQJ After you plug it in, tap "Audio" on the Sync 4 screen, select "Sources" and choose the "USB" to begin playback. Allow approximately 30 seconds for the system to index the CD before trying to navigate tracks. Finally, make certain that you plug the player into a USB port which is not power only. (Certain USB ports in your Sync 4 are power only and do not support a data connection. Owners manual will show which. Believe that they have special markings to tell you power only.) .
  2. The radio FM circuits work above FM quieting, resulting in no static. If you're getting static, its either durme to a very weak FM signal being transmitted (<60db) or poorly built cables inducing static from a loose connection. (My money is on the transmitter.( Try tuning mid FM band. As for losing disk 4 and 5, I'd suspect that they were copied incorrectly. Sync 4 is an excellent system.
  3. The FM band is 88.1 MHz to 107.9 MHz. These are the frequencies the converter will tune to. One concern i have is whether your IPhone can play music on USB and display navigation via Bluetooth simultaneously. (I really don't know, maybe it can.)
  4. While travelling, FM stations come and go..... Yes, but thats irrelevant as the transmitter will continue to overpower any FM signal. And if they do interfere, just returned.
  5. Don't think you understand how these adapters work. They recieve the sigmal from your player are retransmit it on a frequency range of 88.1 MHz to 107.9 MHz. (The entire FM band.) You tune it to a dead area of the FM and then FM tune the radio to that frequency.
  6. If you still have this code, believe I'd try a catalytic converter cleaner. These can work if not really bad.
  7. Wonder if they couldn't have just been painted?
  8. I may have confused you. The FM adapter takes the music from your source and then you tune to a specific FM channel and the adapter plays to that channel. (Just another method to play audio via a wireless connection, to your radio.)
  9. MTS to MP3 (online) https://share.google/gh5AgiIswNpSdsLHn
  10. The most likely cause is probably a failing dimmer switch. Another possibility is a malfunctioning body control module itself. You can sometimes fix (or reset) by disconnecting the battery for half hour. On some cars the headlights are controlled by a relay. You can test this by tapping the top of the relay. If the lights go out, the relay is sticking and needs replacement. Sometimes the relay contacts have welded themselves together, locking the headlights on. You can test this by substituting the headlights relay with a different one. You can disable the headlights by pulling fuse #7 (driver low beam) and fuse #8 (passengr low beam.) (Check this, I'm only guessing as to what car you have.) Best method is to connect an OBD-II and read any codes present. (This will not show and body control module problems issues, need a more advanced reader for that.) .
  11. What you experienced was car entering limp mode. The orange wrench light could mean several things, but because of the "bump", would most likely indicate a problem with the electronic throttle control. The bump probably occurred because of a worn motor in the throttle body. This caused it to momentarily lose its position and drop its signal to the ECM. When the throttle body loses its position, the ECM disables the accelerator and lights the wrench. When you shut down the car, it reset the throttle plate position, which allowed the ECM to get a verified signal from the ETB and function normally again. Could try cleaning the ETB but if it's failing, will probably occur again.
  12. You could ask Haz to post a copy of the window electrical schematic to what the actual differences are between the two.
  13. The ECM may detect a low oil pressure signal from the sending unit and stop the engine from starting as a safeguard to prevent catastrophic internal damage. 1004ron is right. 'Good mechanic'. Could also be a broken wire.
