I would like to take my '22 EB XLT in the same direction you did on yours. I traded in a 2004 Chevy Colorado Sport that had the ZQ8 handling package for my Mav. I used to really enjoy the way the Colorado would take a corner. Are you thinking of adding or changing anti-sway bars for a...
Took my new USB drive out of the Mav and plugged it into my computer and found an extra file had been added to the drive by the system in the Mav. The name of the file was basically the VIN of Mav. Why is Ford doing this. I've never seen anything like this before. Kind of creepy, if you ask me.
I had no idea that file name was my VIN. I suppose my next move is to see if any strange files with that same name show up on the new USB stick. And if so what would one do about it? Has anyone else ever seen such a thing?
Well, I picked up a 64 GB SanDisk Ultra Fit USB 3.2 and loaded my song files to it. The plus side of this is that the files transferred something like five times faster than one of the older ones I was using. The down side....it still acts the same as far as the indexing crap and the system...
Wow!! I can only wish my audio system acted like yours. I've backed up all the music I want to have in the Mav onto a different brand of USB stick. It would be great to have it act like yours.
Fair enough. I'll try another stick. Didn't think of that. I've been so distracted dealing with how fussy this system is that that one never occurred to me.
I leave a USB stick plugged into the slot in the lower center dash all the time. It has (actually I should say HAD) 1647 songs on it. Over the past week I noticed the number of song files being shown were fewer than what I had originally loaded on the stick. Something like 90 songs were...
I think I have seen mention on this forum of a part number for the tray or insert for the driver side bed cubby. From what I can tell, they were installed in the Lariat trim level without the Lux package.
I have done several searches on the forum and haven't had any luck finding the posting...
I don't understand why the USB in the Mav has to "index" at all. We have a '13 Escape and use a USB for music a lot. The one in the Mav has about 1600 songs and the one in the Escape has maybe a hundred more than that. Major difference is the Escape doesn't go through the "indexing" BS every...
Okay then. Finally getting somewhere. The trip odometer is not where the owner's manual said it is. It described a "Home" screen where one could find an option called "Select Screens". Not mine. It turned out to be accessible by toggling the "OK" switch on the steering wheel. Doing so...
Checked the mileage after a 50 mile drive. The bed was fully loaded (cover in place), as was the back seat. With a passenger and that load, I'm guessing 700 to 800 pounds in all, the Maverick delivered 37.7 average. I'm very pleased with that. We had the front windows down and the route was...
I have a '22 XLT with EB engine and the 6.5 inch screen above the radio. I have looked all over the dash for a reset button or stem of some sort. Nothing. Checked the owner's manual and it says I can find an option on the home screen called "Select Screens". That option doesn't show up...
Niles, Ohio. Had a '23 hybrid ordered and got a call from Klaben Crown Ford that a '22 EB was available. Don't know the reason why it was there, but we decided to take it instead of waiting for the estimated six months or more. Haven't regretted taking this one at all.
Okay then. The OP asked for the ONE thing you would like to see. Mine would be something simple and low tech. An assist handle on the driver side like the one on the passenger side. I'm 76, have had joints replaced, and I really miss that handle to help me get into and out of the Mav. My...
It's possible Ford didn't intend the bed recesses you are trying to use to be even with the lip of the tailgate. I set mine up with some 2X lumber in lower recesses and it worked out fine.
Well, so far my little workaround seems to be the answer. I turn off the audio system before exiting the truck and the next time I start the engine I let the system index the USB in the background. When I turn the audio back on, it seem to know the last source used, and plays music from the...
