  1. Anyone has clock setting issue?

    I find that when I drive into a new time zone and change the clock setting, the new time is not retained. Anyone else note THIS issue?
  2. Siriusxm FM adapter install?

    FM antenna input is second plug from left, the dark one. However, you need one Fakra adopter to connect the vehicle antenna wire to the Sirius adopter, and a second Fakra adopter to connect the Sirius adopter to the vehicle radio. Both are available on Amazon. This connection really does not...
  3. I was at the dealership and notice on a 2024 (?) that the antenna was different

    You should understand that without a rear window defroster to augment reception, a fin antenna need a whip to receive broadcast signals. The Escape has a rear window defroster; the the Maverick does not.
  4. Bought the Vais SiriusXM internal kit; anybody else installed one of these?

    @Justin, thanks for the info and pix. My goal is to replace my RoadyBT XM receiver with the Vias Tech. It is a multi-step process to switch the Maverick Bluetooth connection from iPhone to Roady and back again; it just CANNOT be done safely while driving. Until recently there was no Vias to...
  5. Best way to put XM on my Maverick?

    If you drive in an area with poor cell service, get a RoadyBT receiver from the XM radio site, Crutchfield, BestBuy, or elsewhere. Mount the antenna on the front roof, and route the antenna wire behind the windshield, thru the gap between A pillar and fender, behind the front door...
  6. Bought the Vais SiriusXM internal kit; anybody else installed one of these?

    If you decide to go route of dropping the headliner and replacing the antenna, you will need an adopter. Attached is a picture previously published in this website of the connections to the Maverick radio headend. The XM signal runs thru the blue connector. The grey wire ends in a Fakra...
  7. Bought the Vais SiriusXM internal kit; anybody else installed one of these?

    Improved scans of the wiring diagram, and a scan of the rear cab wiring showing location of the antenna wire and connector. The connector on the end of the cab wiring seems to match the connector on the end of the antenna.
  8. Bought the Vais SiriusXM internal kit; anybody else installed one of these?

    If you are going through the task of dropping the headliner, then while you have access to it you might as well replace the stock antenna, part MCPZ18936B, with the antenna for the Lariat Lux, part MCPZ18936C. According the the pictures on the parts website, both antennae have three pigtail...
  9. Bought the Vais SiriusXM internal kit; anybody else installed one of these?

    Won’t that require lowering the headliner? Same procedure as for the air bag recall. Read some of the horror stories on this site about the condition of their Maverick after taking it in for the air bag recall. There is another way that requires no disassembly. See my post above.
  10. Bought the Vais SiriusXM internal kit; anybody else installed one of these?

    Re my previous reply, I am adding pix to show my antenna wire run at critical areas.
  11. Bought the Vais SiriusXM internal kit; anybody else installed one of these?

    I mount my XM antenna on the front center of the roof 1/2 inch above the windshield. The antenna wire can be fitted nicely behind the windshield with a credit card and it becomes COMPLETELY invisible. Run the antenna wire through the joint between the A pillar and front fender, then behind the...
  12. Radio antenna replacement?

    AM reception should be impossible if you remove the whip; fin antennae rely on rear window defroster wiring for AM reception, and there is no rear defroster on the Maverick. FM2 input is for DAB, digital FM broadcasting in Europe.
  13. MY2024 - Perimeter Plus - Anyone purchase? Is PartNumber still KN1Z-19A361-A?

    So if your Maverick comes factory installed with the fob controlled remote lock and unlock, is this module factory installed so the fob remote lock operates? If not, is there a different module for remote start WITHOUT impact sensor? No mention of such module in parts catalog. Does the impact...
  14. Intelligent access doesn't work on passenger door

    I find that in cold weather my Maverick goes into deep sleep mode, which disables intelligent access on the passenger door and other remote features and also prevents the overhead lights from turning on when any door is opened, to conserve battery energy. You can verify this state by checking...
  15. Official Keypad Feedback Thread

    The problem with the door keypad Is that if you do not know about it or never use it, but accidentally leave your keys in the car, you get no warning, because that is what this feature was designed to accommodate, leaving keys in the vehicle. Most people don’t know about or know how to use all...
  16. Latest 2024 Maverick Order Guide Released [Updated Monthly]

    The problem with the door keypad Is that if you never use it, but accidentally leave your keys in the car, you get no warning, because that is what this feature was designed to accommodate. If you don’t know the code, because you never bothered with this feature before, you are screwed. Maybe...
  17. I thought the thing would beep before I ran into something....close calls...no big deal

    I hate that BLIS does not give an audible warning when it detects a vehicle in your blind spot and you flip the directional signal to change into the lane with the vehicle in the blind spot. You have to look in the mirror to see the BLIS warning. But if you have to look into the mirror to see...
  18. I thought the thing would beep before I ran into something....close calls...no big deal

    There is a setting where you can enable both correction and feedback the the degree of feedback. Start from the settings button in the steering wheel.
