I got a set of sensors from my Ford dealership, took them to my tire shop where I was having my winter tires installed onto the police interceptor rims. They programmed the sensors, installed them, and here we went. :)

Thank you. I think of rewiring as a last resort. Only if it cannot be done with configuration settings.

I am wondering if anyone has figured out how to make at least one of the cigarette lighter 12V power outlets always on (when ignition/acc is off). By default, the system turns off all the outlets when the ignition is turned off and a door is opened. I was unable to find any relevant setting in...

Well, it isn't always convenient to connect a phone via USB to navigate somewhere, as unfortunately, SYNC3 does not support Android Auto via Bluetooth. The built-in navigation is extremely glitchy, but it is good enough for quick trips. Also, I am not a big fan of [accidentally] leaving my phone...

Unfortunately, it won't keep the volume setting for the prompts after a restart.

Hi there, What can I say? The winter driving was OK. Nothing unexpected. The reasons why I opted for that setup were as follows: - 18" winter tires are much cheaper than 21" - police interceptor rims bring a very good value for the money (curb hit rated, won't rust like regular steel rim trash...

I am wondering if anyone has managed to disable that "nanny state" voice message autopronounced at high volume (regardless of the audio mode an volume set) every time you enter a destination and start navigation: "Obey traffic laws, be alert and use voice commands while driving". I find it...

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Funny. But I am sure you've understood what I mean.

I agree that the navigation in Explorer is horrible. It is constantly having hard times finding addresses and locations entered. I sometimes have to simply zoom in/out and slide the map on the screen to point the stupid thing to the location I need to get to. But what irritates me even more is...

It looks like that bolt may or may not be there. It is not there on my ST. :(

Thank you very much! I have a Cirquit-Test digital multimeter. I did find those brake pedal mounting bolts, but I just thought they were a bit far from the fuse box. But it looks like there's nothing with reliable ground closer. I'll use one of those bolts as you recommend. Thanks again.

Hi there! I am in the process of installing a new BlackVue DR-900X Dual Channel dashcam in my ST. I have figured out proper fuses to tap off (#37 - acc - for run mode and #4 - batt - for parking). However, I am having difficulties finding a point to get GND from. Could you please share some...

I am located in Canada. Got the rims from my Ford dealership where I had got the ST from. Paid $145 CAD (around $100 USD) per rim.

Just thought to post a report about the final results of my winter tire project here. Thant you everyone who shared their experience and thoughts, and gave valuable advice! :)

Thanks for sharing the photo! I ended up ordering 255/65R18 winters. Waiting for them to arrive. Will post a photo once installed. The only thing that bothers me is lug nuts. I am planning to keep the stock ones. I also got center caps. And also, I use McGard locking nuts (one per wheel), and...
