I surprisingly like the volume slide bar, feel like it responds well.. If you want to do a sudden low volume it gets touchy but.... i like it. Auto-Park function is mandatory with technology package so it is on there. You do get use to the push button shifter and its getting to be a very routine process for me.

Interior Pictures as requested.

Excellent picture quality huh?? It is actually the darker 19" Wheels. Love the car, just need to get the windows tinted now and it will be all complete.

Its side mirrors are identical, when I get a minute today I will go take pictures of the interior for you! :camera: So far, in the babying stage. 55/70 mph cruise control and hitting 38-40mpg

Heated steering wheel was a necessity as well..... God i love that feature.

Opti Coat was expensive having it put on by someone, but at least I know it was done how it should be, and it looks excellent..... Now just to get the windows tinted.

Opti Coat on the car is complete and the pictures are added in the gallery. Here is a link for the full 26 shots as well

Seems that for the first min or so it says unknown caller, but it figures it out after a bit... And iphone yes sorry, have it all set up right, but nothing.. Not to big of a deal just wondering.

Question about receiving text messages and making calls with my cellphone in the car connected to Bluetooth. Currently, I have Bluetooth notifications set to on with sync and I am still not receiving messages/notifications on the screen, should I be??? Any suggestions on how to fix that?

Regarding the phone calls, to the right of the speedometer if I have phone selected showing who I am currently talking to it is showing unknown caller on 2 people so far in my phone book. 1 has a image in their name which I figured is why that is happening, but the one today was just listed as "Jane Doe" (name changed respectively). Any idea why that would show up as caller unknown near the speedometer, but perfectly fine in the center screen?

Looks great! Getting mine done by someone friday.... Afraid to do it myself

Thanks

I searched through the threads but didn't find the answer I was looking for.

Under Remote Start their is the Quiet Start option, which is better for our hybrids??

Under Tire Mobility Kit, what the hell is this and which option do I choose? 1-4 years???

Just that soo far.

edited my post above, but i meant washed, not waxed :) damn ipad typing.

I'll add them on Saturday I think. I'm going to take before and after pictures with the opti-coat. Although as of this minute the car has never been washed , not even by the dealer so the after is going to look 10x better either way

Picked up my new mkZ Hybrid tonight from the dealer! Steve & Eddie thanks for the help lately with the questions I've been asking. Decided to go with the Panoramic Sunroof and happy I did. Tuxedo black w/ black interior. Will be getting it Opti-coated on Friday so I can put picture up with that and let everyone know if the $400.00 permanent wax is worth it or not.

Love it so far! A lot to play with...... :drool:

Both I guess. interested to see the difference. Im looking at where your head would hit which for me i believe was the part of the side headliner

Can you do me a favor?? Measure from the seat to top of headliner with a tape measure. Ill compare Wednesday afternoon. (assuming you have a panoramic sunroof)

Looking for the driver side seat comparison. Rear seat is the same regardless since headliner pulls back up where you would sit.

Still the headroom issue :(. I feel uncomfortable only have about 1.5 inches till i hit the headliner. anyhow, steering off topic. Heated steering wheel isnt happening is it?

I didnt actually, Im more worried about the headroom lol. I went to the dealer and compared a car with no sunroof, pano sunroof, and single panel sunroof. The single panel and pano sunroof actually took the same headroom suprisingly (not to mention that god awful antenna they slapped on the car)

Im up for ideas if you have any :)

Your right on where you are coming from. I am opting for no sunroof since I lose 1.5-2 inches of headroom across the top regardless of sunroof option. So $1185 if I chose sunroof with both models, but since I dont want the sunroof it is over a 2k increase.

How you only get $1185, and there is no option of no sunroof... Adding the reserve package automatically selects a sunroof regardless.

I did get the THX audio package... Still adds up to $2000.00. Ill reedit this post in a minute. I have the numbers downstairs.

Reserve Package = $ 2,925

+THX Audio $995

= $3,920 New Package Cost

Preferred Package = $4,921

+$1,099 Single Panel Moonroof (Required minimum)

= $6,020 New Package Cost.

(P.S. - those numbers are Xplan prices)

I'm going to try and bring this back to life.... for the MKZ Hybrid. Does anyone think it would be possible to have the heated steering wheel hooked up after the fact?? We are already guesstimating that the wiring is all there, but the extra $2,000 + for the preferred package that I don't want is stupid just for the heated steering wheel. If were saying its possible to hook it up and get it functional, is it possible to get it set up with Lincoln my touch as well?

ORRRRR..... I can throw up a challenge here...

Anyone seen a steering wheel with wood (more then just the 2 baby inserts on bottom) replacement for this car??!? I can live without heated steering wheel with a sweet steering wheel.

Fuel price restoration yesterday to $3.59 in Michigan for regular 87 :(

Has anyone on this forum had a detailer apply Opti Coat Pro??? Opti-coat Pro is rated to last 5 years. Curious to see how its holding up after that, since it cost about $500 to get done. Then again a 4-5 year wax may be worth that cost.
