Thank you for mentioning us! Let us check if there is anything we can do to make improvements for the audio controls trim

(I’m thrilled we can use Maps and Waze on the Mav from our iPhones through CarPlay, but we like to use the TomTom when on the road for big trips. It’s more reliable since it uses satellite navigation, rather than phone cellular data.)

Like someone else posted, you can download whole states, or more, for offline use on Google maps. Still uses GPS satellites for navigation. TomTom does the same, just has pre downloaded, usually older, map data.

I'm going to get one. It's in my Amazon cart as we speak.

It also comes in orange for the XLT folks amoung us, two patterns of Carbon Fiber, and - are you sitting down? - RED!

I'm guessing that about zero red ones will be sold worldwide. I mean, none! Not one single one. I'm not keen on fake CF but lots of other people like that look, I'm not 100% sure the orange matches the Maverick XLT orange but I like the color well enough, but the red is just weird.

This little dash top thingie is worth consideration as well...

Oh, but you can get a matching red screen surround:

Huh. Didn’t know that. Will check it out.

Hi OP, I'm interested in your Steering Wheel Cover. Could you send me a link for that? How do you feel about it? Thank you.

Nothing fancy about it — But comfortable to grip, but the all-black design suits the interior of our XLT. (My husband likes a smooth grip — doesn’t like anything with a knobbly texture. Also likes subdued colors, so wasn’t going to go for anything else with orange in it…)

It’s good quality, nice and thick. Like all good steering wheel covers, it takes a little effort to get it on, because it fits tightly. Make sure you line it up right before you start, with the grip areas at 10 and 2 o’clock, because it’s tough to adjust once it’s on. But you can pull it a little bit right or left to get it lined up.

@KdeB Thank you.

Highly recommend this aftermarket trim piece that aesthetically ties the audio volume/tuner knobs and buttons into the screen above.

It’s a simple piece of black plastic that really improves the look of this area on an XLT, covering up some of that light gray plastic that some people find objectionable.

Great addition to the center stack, just got one and installed it on my XLT, love it! What a nice difference it makes.

I have had the little dash top thingy in my Amazon list for a while, and just ordered it. I’m hoping it provides a level surface to mount our GPS suction cup, as we like having it centered above the screen, but we’ll see.

You can download maps for your trip offline so it is accessible regardless of service.

I've had my wife do it to get to our place in Western NC and she's never gotten lost (yet).

It’s nice, right? Just a silly piece of plastic, but nicely done, and really ties in control knobs to screen.

Kudos to the designers, looks 100% factory, they should work for Ford!

That does make a hell of a nice difference!

Just ordered one and looks like a big improvement, thanks!

What is that device displaying 15.3? Does it plug into the cig lighter to display volts? Thanks.
