Day 4 first impressions

One thing I have not figured out yet and don't recall seeing in the manual. Is there a way to go to the next preset without touching the screen. It doesn't seem to be on the steering wheel, and the buttons on the 'radio' are just seek buttons....

I don’t know if this helps, but on my XLT (Sync 2.5), pressing the steering wheel Skip Fwd and Skip Bkwd cycle through the presets while the radio Skip Fwd and Skip Bkwd buttons seek forwards and backwards.

Hummm... I have a XLT... am I just missing the buttons on the steering wheel? I only see the up/down for the cruise control

They are on the bottom of the right hand side of the steering wheel. They reuse the ‘call’ and ‘hang up’ buttons. I’ve attached a picture with the buttons circled in red:

Thanks for the extra effort...... this morning on my drive into work I noticed them and realized they were not just for hands free calling. It seems like all buttons on the Maverick are opposite of my 2014 Rogue, stuff on the right is now on the left, lock and unlock are swapped....it's taking some learning.

Thanks again

I was talking from experience I had a young child ran out in front of my Maverick although I did see him and I was on the brake the truck stopped immediately in its tracks faster then my foot could push the pedal to the floor. Of course I was driving at the proper speed because even the brake assist can't over ride the properties of physics like driving too fast! As you say thank God. Couldn't live with myself if I had hit the child.

My Wife was coming to a traffic light , distracted, and it took over. Again Thank God for technology. Especially when it comes to pedestrians.

As far as WiFi goes, check okla speed test from inside your car using your phone. If you're not getting 50MB or greater, then I'd look at another solution. Like a mesh network.

Be aware that a speed test done on the phone may not be an accurate indicator of the bandwidth when used as a hotspot. You need to connect to the hotspot with a computer then run the test on the computer.

I can get close to 100 Mbps on the phone but T-Mobile throttles hot spot bandwidth to 512 kbps. It took a couple hours to update my truck but it got there.

I didn't say anything about a hotspot. He was talking about trying to connect to his home's wifi
