To get all the garbage old rear window tint film off, I must get the parcel shelf out of my 2010 fusion hybrid. There are no youtubes and the only written references are for the EU type cars which I guess differ from USA ones. My car has three sony speakers on there; is that going to complicate the matter? I would just want to detach the shelf with speakers in place and lower it down enough to get a blade onto the glass. Does the rear seat have to come out also then? Thank you.

Hello: I did buy a OBDLink LX bluetooth I used on a long gone mitsubishi i-miev EV which talked to a long gone piece of software I do not recall the name of. I have the pay version of torque on my tablet but is there something better that is free or cheap to put on android tablet to link with the LX dongle? It sounds like you are well versed in this sort of thing. Thank you.

It turns out the 560 will not physically fit in my 2010 so they put a new and same 390 in stating the system is designed for 390 not 560 so I guess I am happy about that. Just offering this in case anyone is contemplating stuffing a 560 in where a 390 belongs.

Thank you for info on this; some of the folklore out there says the later cars do not have a radio code. I ended up going to dealer who charged me 199 for a 560 cca bigger battery and 40 to put it in. They told me they have a way of keeping power to the systems so the radio stays viable. They also stated it costs 189 to pull the radio out of the car and use a computer to read its code then provide it to me. For now just running merrily along trying to be optimistic about my future with this complex car.

Hello: Just joined after just buying 2010 FFH with 72K on it. So far good except the BXT-67R in there now is over six years old and shows bad at autozone test in the parking lot. The car will "start" but overnight the voltage at the cigar lighter is 9.9V. Before I get autozone duralast replacement on their shelf, I need to know how to avoid a radio crash as I do not have any code numbers for the factory 6 CD changer AM FM Sirius with no navigation. Also, does main HVB need to be disconnected? Have no idea how to do that. Will stuff need recalibration afterward? Can I plug a 12V battery tender or backup device INTO the cigar port before any disconnect of the aux 12V? Would that eliminate these potential problems? Thank you.
