I've been playing with the free Waze app on my smart phone. https://www. waze.com/ Its really been an asset on roadtrips. More info then gps. I'm almost ready to retire Carmen the Garmin. Anyone else a Wazer? I want to get it running on my FFH console screen. Via bluetooth, USB, video jacks, anyway possible. Any Ideas???

About a month ago, my touch screen panel for my entertainment, navigation, etc went bonkers. Nothing worked properly. I took it in to the dealer to get it "fixed" - a new update they said. Before I left the dealership,the 911 assist would longer worked. They did not know how to fix it and gave me a number for the regional manager for me to call. Who I have yet to talk to directly. Last weekend, I went on a short trip and noticed I no longer had any navigation at all. I ended up having to go back to the dealership, get another rental car and again, no solution. Ford said I never had the navigation in this car (untrue) then recanted and said I must have a problem with my phone and I should contact my service provider. So I left the dealership again with no navigation and no 911 assist. Has anyone had this problem? I had navigation (turn by turn) for almost 2 years before this recent issue. -

While travelling recently and using the Navigation with MFT on my HyTi, the location of my vehicle moved a few hundred feet from the actual road I was driving on. Here's a photo of the Navigation on MFT showing what I am describing: In the example above, I had been travelling along on the designated route when my vehicle inexplicably "jumped" over to the left on the MFT screen. I can confirm that I was still driving along the designated route. My HyTi didn't just jump into someone's backyard. While driving and attempting to find a location with the navigation, this was a huge distraction. Has this happened to anyone else? Any explanation why this happens? It is the second time it has happened to me. The first time was driving in unfamiliar territory into NYC, trying to find the hotel for a wedding. -
This topic was posted over on the BOF, but I figured I would ask here as well. What's the deal with metallic versus ceramic tint? Does metallic tint interfere with the car's antenna/systems in any way, but ceramic tint doesn't? Is ceramic tint more expensive? Do they look any different? I'm planning on tinting all windows, except the windshield but I can't have the tint interfere with anything in the car. B8BB8B mentioned that his car can't get a GPS fix with the front windows (tinted) closed. Does anyone know where the GPS antenna is located and does the tint really block the GPS signal? Are any other antennas inside the car or can anything else be affected by tint? What about Wi-Fi? Thanks!
