  1. If anyone else wants to expirment with this, first tune the cell phone to the cable channel, then press MEDIA and select bluetooth input. On the bluetooth screen, select bt audio. The cell phone must have its audio set to bluetooth and be connected to SYNC.
  2. Talk to the dealer first. It might be possible to order a Titanium and omit the sunroof. (Special order). Even custom paint is (or used to be) available on special order (at extra cost). From a purely personal point, I love the roof open.
  3. You know, I don't see why a 14" blade designed for the 14-15 MKX wouldn't work on your 16. Does the 16 look physically different? My 09 is just a simple flat, 14" snap-on blade. I looked for a Rain-X for your 2016 and read that the Rain-X blade has Rain-X in the blade. Believe I'll try this on my next change.
  4. Okay, just figured it out. Had to go through the media button on the radio, select the bt source and audio. Works, can now watch CNN (for example - actually have 32 channels, FX, Science, AMC, etc.) and the audio plays through the system. Not that I would watch TV while driving but nice the have while waiting for wife while she shops. (Grunt)
  5. Rear windows are hard to keep clean. Before replacing the blade (and running into the same problem with a different blade), try cleaning this one first. Run a wet rag over the rubber and clean the crap that builds up on them. You'll be surprised as to how much gunk will be on your rag afterwards. I use Rain x on the rear window to slow the dirt buildup. Driving around the Midwest for the last few weeks, through snow melted from salt and slush, has worn off all my Rain X and mine streaks as well. Keeping the rubber clean is the key to keep it from streaking. (mostly).
  6. Do they look like acid etching? Acid rain is really bad here in Northern Indiana because of the steel mills over near Gary. Once etched, very difficult to remove. Try chrome polish. I've used bug and tar remover with good results. If it looks like rust stains, try Bar Keepers Friend.
  7. Kind of sounds like it's not moving all the way. Think I would start be spraying WP40 all around the latch area and operate it several times.
  8. Check your GPS fuse, #26. It's in the 2nd column from the left, 4th from the bottom. It's a 5 amp fuse. To test, you can substitute another 5 amp fuse from #31; which is an unused spare. The spare is in the 3Rd column, 2nd from the top.
  9. The phone's audio is switched to the bluetooth port. The problem is, the car'Stadio is not playing this bluetooth audio. (I know I can switch it back and play it through the cell, but would rather play it through the car's audio system). Beginning to think that this can't be done on gen 1.
  10. D/l a graphic from: http://www.patriots.com/fan-zone/fan-downloads and downsize it using Photo shop or simular.
  11. Problem is, I also use the phone when in the car to connect to the radar detector. (Connects to the cloud and displays on map location of all police units running radar in a 50 (or wharever) mile radius. Phone tracts the detector and mirrors voice on overspeed, etc.
  12. Was driving home from a day shopping, and thought I'd watch CNN and how the voting was going. Flipped on CNN and as soon as the cell phone picked up CNN (linked to my cable supplier) the bluetooth linked with the head unit and the audio went silent on the phone. (Had live video, no sound.) Apparently my audio is being channeled to bluetooth. To pickup audio, I used the CNN feed on Sirius. But I would like to have the feed from the cell phone as there's a 30 second delay between the cable video feed and Sirius. How do I get the audio feed from my cell (gen 1).
  13. Actually it actually gets better. After 65 there's Medicare and you can get a complete overhall if you need one. Sorry to hear about the catarac. I hope you can get insurance to cover. Now days, the surgery is simple, quick and relatively trouble free. All of us "middle age" guys all have cararac's. Price we pay for getting so smart. lol
  14. Wonder how it will affect gas mileage?
  15. One suggestion I could offer is to make certain that there is no other wifi devices nearby. Your car may have paired with a wireless printer, speakers or router and is attempting to connect with that device. Delete everything the car is paired with (including your spouse-s phone), make certain there are no other wifi devices in the area and try again. I would also look to see if your phone recently updated. New system updates can either help or hurt bluetooth phones. Try pulling the battery on your cell for a minute and try again. Try pulling the fuses on your radio and try again. Here's a good place to start: http://www.smartmobilephonesolutions.com/content/how-to-fix-bluetooth-android-cell-phone
  16. Darn must have missed the video. (lol) What's the C-tec?
  17. You are correct, thanks for correcting me. Found the information here: http://www.guysoflidar.com/usa-laser-jammer-laws.html I had talked to a friend who's a cop, he told me that, if, after he stopped someone for speeding and they had a laser jammer installed, he could charge them with attempting to break the law by speeding by evading. (Something along those lines). Not just here in Indiana, but any state. He also said same laws could be used with radar detectors, if it could be proven that the intent was to speed and evade the police. (Lasers have only one purpose, to evade. His words, not mine). In any case, I also feel that they are either ineffective or unpractical. If you have the best one instalked, and the beam hits a part of the car which is not being monitored (windshield, side,rear), your screwed. Radar detectors work, I run a Passport Max2, works great, displays where other detectors are getting hit on the map so you are tipped off before ever entering the area. I believe you could add Nebraska to your list.
  18. Hey thanks. Interesting that gels loose their power below 32°. Really looks like it comes down to costs vs. longevity return.
  19. This whole thing sounds a little fishy to me. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) You try shoving a crevis tool up there?
  20. Try ebay. Just checked and prices start at $150 for a complete, used mirror assy.
  21. Is "bedding the pads" the same as "burnishing"? (A few hard stops from 45 mph?)

    Leg Pain

    Would it be possible to move the seat back further and therefore drive with your legs in a more straight forward position? Or possibly lower the seat causing the leg to contact the side of the consul rather than riding up and over? (Just thinking out loud.)
