  1. Apple car play issues: weird google map location at startup and random Spotify sound quality changes

    Generally speaking when we see CarPlay issues it is within CarPlay. Your car is really just a mirror. Always check for new software first, then do a restart on your phone. And, if using a cord always be sure to use an actual Apple cord. CarPlay moves a lot of data and it does not like many...
  2. Cabin Filters & Air filters - aftermarket part numbers?

    Definitely best to buy the cheapest aftermarket replacement you can find for an already inexpensive part...
  3. The 600 days waiting club

    I wouldn't wait 700 days for a Lamborghini. I cannot fathom that people are waiting this long for a Maverick without changing their order.
  4. If Tom Cruise offered to autograph your Maverick where is the best spot on the interior?

    I would never do that, I am not remotely celebrity obsessed. But, since you used his name specifically a cool story I have is that my ex boss bought a Pitts acrobatic plane from Tom Cruise. He didn't actually know it was from Tom, because he has someone that handles his hanger and aircraft. But...
  5. Disable horn beep when locking doors?

    I am already aware of this. It is the OP who is struggling
  6. Disable horn beep when locking doors?

    Have you tried the owners manual or Google? And again, it is beyond simple for the horn not to beep. Mine never beeps, never. And I have not changed a thing.
  7. Disable horn beep when locking doors?

    Again with such weird questions. I don't mean to pick on you, but why is this even a question? A double tap of the fob creates a horn tone and one does not. Solution is to just push it once, or use either interior or exterior lock pads when exiting the truck and no horn tone.
  8. Is the oil dilution theory some BS?

    What in the heck are you even asking, and where the eff did you read that? Some of the questions on here boggle my mind. There is some stuff that passes the rings. This happens on literally every combustion engine ever made. It is not inherently a problem. There can be failures like an injector...
  9. 8-speed transmission issue?

    I have not personally had any issues. But one thing to note with modern cars is that the transmission is adaptive. Over the course of the first bit of driving the transmission mapping will adapt according to how you drive. During that time it may have a hiccup or two and that can be normal.
  10. Hood size too large

    The hood barely even registers when I am driving and I am only 5'8. I can't imagine seeing this small of a vehicle and thinking the hood is any kind of an obstruction. But, in fairness I've mostly owned full size trucks and have a lot of experience in class A and B sized trucks.
  11. Do your own oil changes (avoid dealer service)!

    Again, your experience at non luxury vs luxury is going to vary. And it may vary WILDY.
  12. Why am I running LED Daytime Running Lights?

    I understand for sure. Obviously they are much more expensive than even a single replaceable LED. It's just an odd thing to be worried about to me.
  13. Why am I running LED Daytime Running Lights?

    How cheap does one have to be to turn off a safety feature over fear that they have to replace a BULB after 10 years. And as long as you feel they aren't needed, that is all that matters really. Myself I never let facts get in the way of how I feel and construct arguments ;)
  14. Dealer says I can use any brand full synthetic oil for my Maverick

    So, forgive me. If you have a service place you trust, why are you going to oil change places? Is this back to a cost thing? I get clients like this regularly. Their "mechanic" usually takes care of most things, but can't do certain diagnostics or whatever. This again goes back to my argument...
  15. Tire rotation pattern

    Even if different sizes? You cannot rotate staggered fitment tires. You can move them left to right, and on sports cars that will help even out inside wear. But that is still not as effective as cars that can be rotated front to rear.
  16. Dealer says I can use any brand full synthetic oil for my Maverick

    This car is out of warranty, so it is a mute point. But, had it been in warranty it would have been denied anyway due to her not having service records. This is on a European car.
  17. Dealer says I can use any brand full synthetic oil for my Maverick

    This mindset is so foreign to me. There are absolutely garbage shops out there. But there is a number of online tools available to look at shops reputations. I have a very hard time believing you can't trust a shop to do an oil change. Do you trust your chef at a restaurant dinner not to spit in...
  18. Tire rotation pattern

    I don't care what his podcast says. If you don't rotate tires you WILL have uneven wear. That isn't even debatable. On some cars you will end up replacing a pair significantly sooner without rotation. Many newer cars, especially in the luxury market use a fairly soft tire. Rotation is a cheap...
  19. Dealer says I can use any brand full synthetic oil for my Maverick

    It has everything to do with being cheap. You can easily find another location that has your product of choice.
