It would most likely reduce your gas milage. Have you seen the Focus' front end? It has functional louvers that stay shut until the cooling is needed. If you cut out the openings, will the air make it into the air intake?

Sync my ride MFT upgrade avaliable?
wilsons66604 replied to mv-clear's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
This is the text listed on my install history page... This software update improves system performance and stability of SYNC® with MyFord Touch® and MyLincoln Touch®. This means that the system will automatically recover if it experiences a black or blank screen, and reduces the likelihood of the 8-inch touchscreen remaining active for 30 seconds when the vehicle is turned off and a door is opened. Stability of the system has been improved when: Replying to a text message Downloading SiriusXM Travel Link data Using Navigation features Removing a USB device or SD card Other improvements include: Voice commands: Better recognition of radio station commands, dialing by number, and an enhanced list of voice commands is offered when you ask, "What can I say?" Mobile phones: Overall improved phone pairing and connecting times. Improved phonebook downloads for iPhone® 4 and other devices with phonebooks that contain duplicate contacts. Removal of 911 Assist® pop-up screen for customers in Mexico and South America. SiriusXM Satellite Radio: Overall enhancements include enhanced voice commands for SiriusXM channel names, as well as radio presets, frequencies, and corresponding icons display after tuning. SD card Navigation: Improved overall stability of the South American Navigation. iPhone is a registered trademark of Apple Inc. All rights reserved. Sirius, XM and all related marks and logos are trademarks of Sirius XM Radio Inc. IMPORTANT The installation of this update on your vehicle will take up to 45 minutes to complete. The SYNC® with MyFord Touch/MyLincoln Touch® update is automatic. Simply turn on your vehicle and your 8-inch touchscreen, insert your USB drive in your vehicle's SYNC USB port, and the update will begin automatically. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR USB DRIVE OR TURN OFF YOUR VEHICLE. The Installation is complete when your 8-inch touchscreen displays a pop-up screen with the message: Installation Complete! At which point you must touch OK to exit the installation process. This software contains all previous enhancements, so there is no need to install any other updates. You must pair your phone and download your phonebook with SYNC again, after this installation. We recommend you turn your vehicle off and delete the previous SYNC Bluetooth connection on your mobile phone before turning your vehicle back on and re-pairing your phone with SYNC. -
Sync my ride MFT upgrade avaliable?
wilsons66604 replied to mv-clear's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Time will tell. I've taken a short drive and can't tell any difference with anything. MFT still selects a random audio source when I start up. But HEY! I installed it myself! Bring on the updates -

Ya. I think it said you would have to have at least 2.3 to do the self install. -

Ask A Professional Detailer?
wilsons66604 replied to CanuckG35's topic in Appearance - Detailing, Wash & Wax
If you really care about the finish on your new car, be sure to INSIST that your dealership NOT detail your new ride. My dealership removed the packing materials but didn't try to clean it up. This made the first polish job a snap. -
In Kansas, it is against the law to drive in the left lane unless you are passing. This law was passed because of the people who tend to make the "traffic walls" The law doesn't help though. People still use the left lane to slow the flow of traffic.

Sorry, This post had me thinking you were looking for brighter headlights .... I've seen cars with tinted lenses and I can tell that the intensity is effected.

USB Music Skipping/Locking Up
wilsons66604 replied to MrHappy's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Was USB skipping & album art "features" that 2.11 was supposed to fix? 2.11 is not a fix for all problems, it's just a patch that is trying to stop some of the hemorrhaging. The real fix is said to be coming next year -
Facebook Contacts showing in Sync
wilsons66604 replied to joshaustein's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Really! You have your contact's photos syncing to the Touch system? Be thankful for that because there are very few people that get that feature to work. To get rid of the Facebook contacts, I think your best bet would be to manage them on your HTC. -
JEEZ! They have my car all day to grease my BAMR and tighten the sun shade. No transmission update until the parts come in. No MyFordTouch update. They tell me my software is up to date with version 3 !?! Damn! MFT is been on the streets for a year and they still can't figure out what the hell they are doing! I had to explain to the service writer that the latest version is 2.11 and v3 is for another Ford model. PLEASE let me update via USB!
-
+1 Very nice of you! Your expert time is worth $$$ EDIT: Now I'm inspired to repair my girl friend's car. Those damn garage dors are unforgiving.

Wish me luck! I'm going in for the 2.11 update & draggin' BAMR & loose sun visor (Transmission TSB service may need to be scheduled later)

I've come to terms with the Ford cover. I think it is engineered very well. It takes into consideration he reclining and folding of the rear seats. It also protects the rear seat backs when I fold them to haul mulch or top soil.

Did I see you asking about the HID temp? You were wanting to go with a brighter headlight bulb? I don't understand the logic. You tint the headlights lenses then you have to find brighter HIDs..... Why tint in the first place?? I would rather my headlights and taillights be at full power

You will only see the yellow HD icon if you are receiving HD. In my town, radio stations are far enough away that the reception switches back and forth between HD and standard.

Cabin squeak / rattle
wilsons66604 replied to wilsons66604's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Turns out that the squeak was coming from the passenger sun visor. The clip that the visor snaps into is loose. The screw is tight but it's not attached to anything behind the headliner. I have to be careful when pulling the visor out of the clip because it acts like it will pull the headliner down. (Adding this to my growing list of stuff to have fixed.) -
Sync error code "10.10.2008" ??
wilsons66604 replied to phlatlander's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
I've never seen this before. Is your system still broke or did it reboot back to normal? "Good Morning New User" ?? -
MFT - Bluetooth Turned Off
wilsons66604 replied to Adam Hammet's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
These are symptoms that start showing up just before 2.7 (& above) reboots it's self I'm on 2.7 and will eventually find the time to make another trip to the dealership and have it updated to 2.11. -

2011 SEL My Temp button
wilsons66604 replied to wlepse's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
It's not broke. It's My Ford Touch. Have you got the latest software update? You could also reboot the system by pulling fuse 29 and replacing it.
