    Sync 3 Lost Radio Audio

    My Ford Owner site is still showing I'm up-to-date on version 2.3! I did go ahead and download the firmware that's been floating around here and installed it as a last ditch effort since the whole module is getting replaced anyways. It didn't fix the issue so it truly is a hardware fault. On...

    Premium vs Regular... With some science this time!

    If you read the last sentence of the first paragraph, "Premium fuel will provide improved performance..." Improved performance is more HP and better mileage. It will take about 2-3 tanks of premium for the truck to re-calibrate its tune if you were running 87 octane before. I was running 87...

    Sync 3 Lost Radio Audio

    Long story short: Sync 3 v2.3 radio isn't properly working even after Master Reset, fuse pull, and battery disconnect. The Long Story: Last week, I jumped in my truck while it was warming up after autostart and pressed the Start/Stop button as normal to drive off. The Raptor welcome screen...

    GEN 2 Wireless charging

    You can always take the file to a local maker space. I can't sell it since it has the Raptor logo on it and not I'm about to start printing these out to hand out. iPhones need a USB connection for CarPlay on Sync3. Not sure if Ford will update to allow CarPlay via Bluetooth. Good luck.

    Gratis! The file is in the link below. Just let me know if you print one. My printer took about 18 hours to make it. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2689911

    GEN 2 Wireless charging

    I got a cheap Qi fast charging pad from Amazon for about $15. It fits OK in the console tray but it allows the phone to slide off of it during driving. I have a 3d printer and whipped out a design to hold the charger and phone in place. I'm printing the 3rd draft(I had to make some...

    2018 Order Progress

    Even though chance of damage is low driving normally, I rather have that protection for 6 years and not need it than not have it and shell out some bucks to replace a tire and wheel. Murphy's Law. ---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ---------- I...

    2018 Order Progress

    Got my truck today. Dealership got it on Friday but dealer wasn't in. She called me in the morning and I left work at 3. I had her put in a Rhino spray liner which would be done today before delivery. I walked into the dealership at the right time when the truck just came back from the spray...

    2018 Order Progress

    I wouldn't fret too much about others getting their trucks before yours. I've seen others place an order in mid-june and get a mid-July built. Our build dates are just fine. You don't want to be the first one or off the line. A month of builds gives the factory enough time to work out any...

    Your build date should be on there. Look at numbers at the top middle of the sticker. Should look like 2201708XX. This is your build day. The first number '2' means to be built. Mine is 220170816. It will be built on August 16th, 2017.

    Saw this one passing through Atlanta today with temp plates. It was a magnetic?? SCREW. Don't remember any other details. I was busy deLing with traffic. The wife snapped off the fuzzy pic. If this belongs to someone here, nice truck.

    My window sticker is visible today. Still showing my 8/16 build date. Should be at the dealer's by the following week around 8/23. The delivery charge is $1295 for convoying it 8.4 miles from factory to dealership. Call me crazy but that's like $154 per mile! At that rate, James Hackett must be...

    Panoramic moon roof tint

    I had it done to my black '15 Fusion and it is very noticeable on how much cooler the vehicle stays. I can have it parked in the Sun all day and it will be only very warm but not Africa hot. Bonus benefit is ceramic tint blocks 99% of UV which kills your interior. My fusion's interior still...

    Interior build quality

    After reading all the posts on this thread and looking at the original post, has anyone considered that it may have been broken while sitting at the dealership? There's a lot of things that can happen to a vehicle's fit and finish while sitting on the showroom floor.* Customers get in and...

    Help w/dealer options: Permaplate, clear bra

    You must have SafeSearch turned on when you googled "clear bra" I got entirely different results. :)

    I ordered on June 8th. I got my VIN but it hasn't been officially released. Last time I checked (Wednesday), I had a Build Week of 14 Aug and a Priority 1 but the order status is still processing. Anyone know if the Priority changes the Build Week (move build date earlier) or is it the priority...

    I'm still not sure how lucky I am to get this priority. All I know is the Ford Rep called my dealership letting them take orders on the first two of seven allocations and they had to have their orders in by the 8th. I was originally 22 on a waitlist but my salesperson did some maneuvering to...

    Spoke with my dealer and they couldn't dig up the DORA (in a stack) but they were great in giving me the order summary and a copy of the tracking details. Priority Code 01. Seen others post about priority. Lowest dealer assignable is 10. Even my dealer is wondering how I got 01. Got my VIN...

    Hello from Ford's Hometown

    Got my truck ordered. Bummed I’m not getting a 2017. On the flip side, I’m locked in for the 2018. Ordered is being dropped tonight. Dealer got only 2 allocations for it so far and I was picked to be the first. UPDATE: Called dealer to make an addition but they couldn't since order is...
