3.8 installed successfully first time, but not without surprises...... I decided to upgrade my Sync system today (from v3.7) even though I didn't really see anything advantageous in it for me in the description on the Sync Owner site (I have an Android phone). I DID have 3.8 show up as an available update for my 2014 FFH on the Sync page. After installing the update, the first thing I noticed was that both phones that I had paired with the Sync system were no longer there (a Samsung Galaxy S4 & an S5). I re-paired the S5 to the system. The second thing I noticed was that my Home Screen looked rather dark, so I went in to the display options to re-select my wallpaper, but all my wallpaper files had been deleted. I had to reinstall them from my USB stick on which I had originally saved them. The third thing I noticed was that my Navi no longer knew where it was. There was a message displayed on the screen to the effect that the car was on an unknown street and it would update as soon as it was located on a known street. I drove it to the Wal-Mart about 1-1/2 miles from the house, but the message never went away and I didn't see the Navi update its position. I'll play with it some more tomorrow Just thought some of you might like to hear of my experience so it doesn't happen to you as well. After all, I'm sure I"m not the only "Curious George" out there. :)

I ran across this post and thought it might be helpful for anyone wanting to DIY a homelink unit the inexpensive way by buying only the unit itself on eBay for around 20 bucks and investing a little time. It's way cheaper than buying the whole visor assembly but a little more technical to install. I found these DIY instructions (with pictures) for a 2014 Fusion SE, but it should be the same for 2013 - 2016 Fusions. Enjoy! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32767348/Adding%20Homelink%20to%20the%202014%20Ford%20Fusion.pdf

I would have thought Nevada would have been closer to #1 than being #9. We have some really rude, terrible drivers here. The funny thing is, most everyone here in the Vegas area (the largest population in the state) is from somewhere else. Somehow, they have created their own driving style and reputation for it which, honestly, is well deserved!

Mine's pretty boring too.......Tony, my first name, Hz, an abbreviation of a 9-letter last name, and NV for Nevada where I live. :)

Jeff is correct. That is a station dependent function. Not all stations broadcast the song/artist information but your display is capable of displaying it if they do. That being said, if that info shows on the main radio display on your touchscreen, it should also show on the cluster screen. If not, touch base with our Ford IVT rep on this forum.

Hey, Rick, which Costco do you go to when you come into town?

I just tried the link in the original post to Out of My Touch site and it worked, but just in case, here's a copy of the zip file and a PDF of the instructions. Make sure you READ THEM and do exactly as it says. It works. I have done this a few times on my 2014 FFH and I keep the USB stick in the car. Good luck! delayed reboot app.pdf delayed_reboot.zip

Hey security guy: thought about splash guards/mud flaps? They really do a great job of keeping the side of your car cleaner. They're easy to install yourself and it doesn't take long at all. They bolt/screw on and look good too. The best prices I found for the OEM product: Price Shipping Ford Part No. Splash Guards, Molded Front Group1AutoParts.com $38.84 $6.21 DS7Z-16A550-AA Splash Guards, Molded Rear Group1AutoParts.com $38.84 $6.22 DS7Z-16A550-CA The Ford MSRP is $49.99 (ea pair) + tax. You may find cheaper similar looking ones on eBay, but they're probably not the OEM product. Just sayin'! :)

OK, how about a Nushield triple A (Anti-glare, Anti-fingerprint, Anti-microbial, or other) screen protector for your MFT screen? They are awesome and cost about $15 from Nushield.com. ☺

Did you get your WeatherTech trunk/cargo area mat yet? ☺

I got the Kagu rubber ones. They do have a carbon fiber like look to them. I live in Vegas, so a VERY dry climate. I don't worry much about rain & snow, but more about protecting the original carpet. If you're dealing with heavy rain or other types of precipitation, you'd probably be better off with the WeatherTechs. No chance of leaking onto the original carpet. BTW, WT also makes an excellent trunk/cargo area mat (that many of us have) that fits perfectly and looks great. About $100 with shipping from http://www.weathertech.com/ford/2015/fusion/cargo-liner/fusion-engine/hybrid/Congrats on your new ride!

I bought my (Maxpider) mats on Amazon. I have a '14 FFH SE. I did not see any "non hybrid" notes in the description. They fit perfectly front & rear. Note that the driver's side is NOT waterproof due to the holes to accommodate the carpet pegs on the the floor. Love the way they fit and look. Get compliments on them all the time. A little pricey but worth IT IMO.

Just thought I might be able to clear up a little confusion here. With metric sizes like this, the second number is the thread pitch, not the length. So these nuts are 12mm (or M12) major diameter with a thread every 1.5mm expressed as M12 x 1.5. A length is usually only specified in the size for bolts, screws and studs such as M12 x 1.5 x 30(mm). The stud that these nuts screw onto would be expressed that way. M12s actually come in 3 different pitches: 1.25 very fine thread, 1.5 fine thread, and 1.75 course thread. Our lugs are 1.5 fine thread. If you are familiar with the American Standard, this is akin to (for example) a bolt size of 1/4-20 x 2 which has a major diameter of 1/4" and 20 threads per inch with a length of 2". The nut size would be 1/4-20. The "length" of any nut would have to be in the physical description because it is not part of the size. Hope that helps.

OK, GS, give me about 5 minutes.......... :)

Just bought a brand new sealed one on eBay for $60 w/free shipping. Got my A5 last year for $50. Just sayin'.
