    (CLOSED) - 2025 Explorer - Remote Start Question?

    2025 here, remote start set to auto. It has been in the low 40s here the last two mornings. Did a remote start while putting on my shoes. Three mins later get in and it is toasty warm in the cabin, on the seat, and the wheel.

    Considering 2025 ST but concerned with reliability

    It's a Ford. It'll be less reliable than the Mazda (or any Honda/Subaru/Toyota). It'll be cheaper to repair out of warranty than the BMW. It'll have worse body panel and interior/exterior trim alignments than any of the above. But, it'll be fast as snot and fun to drive.

    Disable Auto Start/Stop on 2025 Explorer ST

    They replaced the part and now it is flat. Now waiting for a new headliner due to the original not staying behind door seal.

    Disable Auto Start/Stop on 2025 Explorer ST

    Considering it requires removing the charging pad and mine is in the shop for, amongst other things, the rubber in front of it not staying down, not sure I want to pull that open once they fix it.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Here is the box the four came in along with the included little set screws. You can see how short they are. Once engaged, they are barely in the pad anymore and most of their bite is in the gap. The cap screws are much longer so you can get more bite in the pad housing.

    2025 ST telephone

    Try with another phone in both native mode and in AA/Carplay to determine if it is the vehicle or your phone. I have a Google Pixel 7a and have no issues other than occasional calls going garbled on my end and have to switch to speaker and back to bluetooth, and it fixes it quick, but I have...

    2025 Infotainment System Questions

    So I can get Google Maps to work in the IC (Map View) when Waze is running in AA ONLY if I have a destination being navigated to in the main center stack native Google Maps and then switch to AA.

    Disable Auto Start/Stop on 2025 Explorer ST

    I had my '25 in sport mode yesterday and again forgot to turn ASS off. The engine turned off at a stop light. I'll get a picture next time of the IC showing both icons.

    Disable Auto Start/Stop on 2025 Explorer ST

    Seems much easier than taking the steering wheel apart like the 2020-2024 models. I may wait and see if they offer any holiday discounts next month or two in addition to feedback from others here.

    2025 ford explorer st

    doh! missed that. I don't think the 2025 front or back cameras have washers. I'll check when I leave work.

    Push the stalk towards the dash (away from you) and it'll spray the rear window on the 2025s.
