    SYNC connecting to my phone

    ^^^^^ NEVER FREAKIN' MIND!! I had to set the SYNC reverse pairing on my cellphone bluetooth to "Set as authorized". She connects automatically now! THERE IS A GOD! :crazy:

    SYNC connecting to my phone

    Thanks for the great input!! I reset my system twice and reverse paired twice. No change. So I suppose I'm just stuck with taking 10 extra seconds every time after re-entering my car to manually connect! Darn... Life can be a b**ch! :bang:

    Everyones opinion

    I am "car" person which means it is important that I feel good in whatever I drive even if it's only to the convenience store 1/2 mile away. Driving cars that have been icons of America's past make me feel good, i.e., "Thunderbird", "Crown Victoria" (remember the 1955?) and now the tried and...

    SYNC connecting to my phone

    My phone is a Nokia E71x smartphone that is getting close to 2 yrs old...that's old for a cellphone. I almost bought the 4s two weeks ago but talked myself out of it. The $15/mo data plan scares me...I'm afraid I'd unknowingly run over the 200MB limit quickly and get a $1000 phone bill...

    3.31 differential

    I bought my 2012 V6 Premium May 6 based on love at first site rather than sitting down and picking options. I had no idea what the car had on it other than what I could see as I looked at it and as I test drove it. Its AC wasn't automatic, it didn't have the electric passenger seat. OK. I...

    Trying my Sync gps for first time any tips

    Just a tip from my experience: If you hear the nice lady say "Turn right on unknown" or "bear to the right on unknown" or any instruction with "unknown", be not afraid. She just doesn't know where the H*** you are... :confused:

    SYNC connecting to my phone

    I am *not* a fan of SYNC and am *not* posting in order to gripe about it. But since I am stuck with it, I would like to extract as much as I can from it. All I use it for is the cell phone. Here's my situation. Last week I leased a Chevy Cruze for my trip to Ft. Worth...just didn't feel...

    Finding the leak

    Because of the heavy rains of today and the dry carpets in the car, I think I can officially end this thread and declare this issue resolved. The leak is fixed.

    Finding the leak

    UPDATE: I took this car in Monday and finally got it back this afternoon (Friday). The cause of the leak was finally determined to be a bad windshield seal at its bottom driver side. We're expecting rain tomorrow and Sunday which will be the ultimate test of the fix. Once I have determined...

    Finding the leak

    Well, well, well! I took the car into the host dealer this morning at their request and got a phone call about 30 minutes ago. By elevating the car's front end and spraying, the leak presented its ugly head!! AT LAST! I became so excited at the news I almost wet my pants!! Anyway, the...

    warranty work

    In having warranty work performed, is it advisable to have the dealer you bought it from do it, or does it really make a difference? I don't know if only the host dealer gets reimbursed by Ford for such work or if any dealer will. Since I have found the source of the water in my 2012 and...

    Finding the leak

    Thanks! The more I think of the young tech's reactions to the issue the more I'm convinced that they don't want to take the time to go about finding the problem in a logical sequence of steps. The 2 of them did not like it when I took the car back the 2nd time. The service adviser is very...

    Finding the leak

    Well, last nite before the rains came, I stuffed fresh shop towels between my carpet and the driver kick panel and cloth towels directly over the electronics box above the kick panel and up against the box mounting panel. The rains came and this morning all were soaked with a nice stream...

    I'll definitely buy another Ford. But it will have the "SYNC Delete" option! That simple...

    Mysterious box

    Makes sense. I had my windows tinted last Friday and since then my dash lights illuminate when I drive the car. I was thinking maybe that was detected by this box we're talking about. Thanks for the response!

    Finding the leak

    Well, the dealer I bought the car from couldn't duplicate the leak either. I picked it up this afternoon with a renewed determination to find it!!! That may involve my camping out in the car under the dash the next time it rains.
