    Good point. I'll check next time I get in the car. Also noticed the original bars were painted blue (same as the car) and the new ones aren't painted at all. Are yours also not painted?

    I'm also starting to notice a slight rattle coming from the trunk area when I go over bumps. This started after the dealer did this TSB ... I wonder what they broke this time!

    I sent you a message :) Did you get it?

    Is this the quick detailer you're recommending as a substitute to Z-6? http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-Gold-Class-Quik-Detailer/dp/B006FUT0AK/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375813063&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=MEG+G7624

    My co-worker just downloaded it from support.lincoln.com and it took 5 min :)

    Yes, I had a 8GB drive formatted as FAT 32 so I just deleted all the files on it and downloaded the SYNC update. I did my update on a Mac in Safari. Love the phone and I'm on the T-Mobile $30/mo 5GB data, 100 min plan. I use Groove IP for calls and it's a pain to integrate everything with MFT.

    I successfully downloaded and installed the update yesterday around 6 PM. It didn't take too long to download (under 10 min?) and it took about 25-30 minutes to install. I also didn't have to delete the BT connection from my phone - I just went to MFT BT settings - added a device and on my phone I just clicked SYNC under existing BT connections. It asked me to re-confirm the 4 digit pin and it paired right away. Like others, it deleted my quick calls list, but kept my NAV favs. For some reason when I tried to set Home as my destination using voice commands it says Home wasn't set up yet. I'll have to try that again today. This morning I also noticed that my clock was one hour behind. I fixed it, then selected SYNC to GPS time - it went back an hour again! I checked the timezone and it knows I'm in EST ... so I don't know what's up with that - I just change it manually again and left it. This update also made my songs and artist names show up when I'm streaming from the Nexus 4 w/ Jelly bean 4.3, depending on which app I use: Google Music - shows both track and artist Pandora - shows only track, no artist iHeart Radio - doesn't show anything DS Audio - shows only track, no artist Text Messaging still doesn't work.

    I read that instead of having MFT read and send messages, you can talk directly to Siri through the car and Siri will read and send messages. From: http://fordtechlane.com/getting-the-most-out-of-iphone-5-and-fords-sync-system/

    How do you expect to have a Wi-Fi data connection when you're on the road? If the phone is connected to Wi-Fi, it will stream over Wi-Fi, but if it's not connected to Wi-Fi it'll use the data plan. In the phone's settings you can search for and connect to Wi-Fi networks. My phone connects to Wi-Fi by itself when I'm home or a place I've connected ti Wi-Fi before (parents / friends house, etc).

    He did mention the turning radius... I wish the FFH would have be able to turn more. My wife's Envoy turns much better than the Fusion. I find it a pain in the a** to do a u-turn in the middle of the road in the Fusion; in most cases I have to put it in park and go back to avoid climbing the curbs ...

    What's photoshop? :) I did use the HDR feature on my Nexus 4 to take the pictures. It essentially takes 3 pictures and combines them to get the best result. When it gets uploaded to Google+ it also gets enhanced a little. Here's a few more:

    That's a nice shine for sure! I decided to wash mine again this weekend. Then I decided to all a layer of Z-5 :) So I washed it, used Z-6 on it, then applied the layer of Z-5, buffed it and used Z-6 again.

    I wonder if they messed something up ... When I pointed it out to they they said all they did was change the torsion bar and it's completely normal ... I wanted the TSB applied so I have to live with it ...
  14. neod192
    Congrats, it sounds like you've done this before :) Where are the pictures! ?

    This won't be in the manual, but yes. If you have an Android phone, get the Send to Car app. You can look up an address on Google Maps, hit share and select Send to Car. The car will get the address and you can set it as your destination or your way point. It will calculate its own route and it might not be the same route that Google Maps found.

    I don't have one now .. They could have used that space in our cars a little better than filling it with foam inserts ...
  17. neod192
    I'm not sure if it'll make it raise higher when you pop it open. It'll definitely keep it open and won't bang your head as often :)

    Each user has a limited amount of space to attach pictures on this forum. Each picture you add will reduce that. As a work-around we all host the pictures somewhere else (G+, FB, etc) and link them here.

    http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/pubs/content/~WT/~MUS~LEN/3632/tsb13-05-18.htm ISSUE: Some 2013 Fusion vehicles equipped with a rear spoiler and built on or before 5/2/2013 may exhibit a concern of the luggage compartment lid will not stay open. I had this done last week and it did what it was supposed to do. Unfortunately, it also made the trunk harder to close. When it's almost closed after it pushed down the plastic cover over the latch it feels like it hits something before it latches. If I apply more pressure it latches closed, but it's definitely harder to close now. Before I had this done, the trunk would latch closed extremely easy and my wife even questioned if it was actually latched. I really like that ... Anyone else had this done? Are you experiencing the same side-effects as me?

    My dealer was very nice and printed out the letter for me (before it came in the mail) along with the letter the dealer received from Ford.

    I had my update applied and my dealer had only one key - I had the other. hey're BS the hell out of you ... :confused:

    I hit a new all time high record for my morning commute!!! I was very excited to see such a high number on my display :yahoo:

    It's there, but not all the time. You have to be slowing down 75 to 70 for EV to kick in. EV will also kick in over 65 if you're going downhill. If you're on level roads or even slightly uphill, the power demand will be too high for EV to kick in, or even for the EV threshold to show up.

    Some Fusions don't have them. There was no simple way to well which ones do and which ones don't.
  25. neod192
    That's exactly what I'm seeing as well. I'm going to reset my Lifetime everything at 5k miles (only 335 miles away) for the first time. That way I'll have a new clean start.
