    Focal, Mosconi, Illusion and Helix build

    If it will fit, I'd replace that electrolytic with a polypropylene. https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-DMPC-15-15uF-250V-Polypropylene-Capacitor-027-432

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    The proclip holster mount is pretty nice. I bought a Carlinkit wireless carplay recently so went with an auto-clamping Qi wireless charger mount. Most of the car mounts use a 17mm ball joint so like Staggie, I drilled out the AMPS ball joint on the Pro-Fit. Then attached a 17mm ball joint...

    Wireless CarPlay

    Yeah, Waze sometimes is frozen on my previous location and won't change. I have to go to the phone and shut down Waze, then re-launch it. Apple Maps is definitely less buggy with Carplay but the new user reports feature introduced with iOS14.5...seems like no one except me uses. Have never...

    2022 Ford Explorer Adds the ST's 400-HP V-6 to More Trims

    I have no problem with the Platinum and King Ranch having the same tune. Those are high dollar trims and I never understood why they were detuned. I'd be pissed if I were buying a platinum--2020-21 owners are going to be for sure. The ST is perfect for performance and looks but some want one...

    Exhaust Recall?

    Got the same Carfax message. I'm going to wait until I get notified of a recall via Ford Pass. Their past recalls never affected my build date and I never got a recall notice on Ford Pass.

    Wireless CarPlay

    Thanks for the review. So you think it connects faster? If so, that plus better audio would be worth the upgrade.

    Wireless CarPlay

    Interesting! I wonder how long it'll be before it's carried by Amazon. I noticed some of their Amazon listing now list Carlinkit 3.0 instead of 2.0. Looks the same but appears to be a thinner device. Likely the innards are different but running the same software.

    Need some opinions on Burger Tuning JB4 vs Racechip GTS

    I never really liked the JB4 on my N55 BMW. Ghost codes periodically. Power delivery wasn't smooth. If I still had it, would have gotten a flash tune. Tuning for the Explorer is more than just power. The trans tuning really improves the driveability, especially day to day--but a must when...

    Carplay not working

    There is no app for Carplay in iOS. It's integrated into the OS. I have 14.7.1. Carplay works fine. I'd try a different usb cable. I'd try the other usb port. if you haven't master reset Sync in a while, especially after multiple updates, I'd try that. Try rebooting your phone as well...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Man, I love your high gloss 2021 center cluster! Looks much better than the cheap plastic stuff of 2020. One of these days, I'm going to order that.

    Cabin Air Filter

    I bought an OE one at from an online dealer as I was buying other parts...$19. I would get one with the activated charcoal.

    Sync 4 Upgrade for 2020 Explorer

    In the past and likely in the future, you just swap out the APIM and screen. Not exactly cheap. I wouldn't find it worth it but you might. Ford has already moved past Sync 4 to Google, and some who have seen Sync 4 up close were not impressed. I just want something that will do justice to...

    Anyone Have Issues with their Tunes?

    Just make sure your car is running smoothly. Don't expect your tune to cure any driveablility problems. No issues for me with LMS.

    Wireless CarPlay

    Yup, 7/5/21 update works well. Compared to the unit I tried last november, this new firmware has the bootup screen in english instead of chinese. Siri works and the screen touches are responsive. Even better is that it's $40 cheaper than what I ordered and returned (Amazon). Overall, worth...

    Paddle shifter extensions

    I probably wouldn't do it if I could do it over...and I paddle shift the majority of the time. To me, a little tacky. I also do not like the way they are secured.

    Wireless CarPlay

    So no issues now? What about a delay when talking on the phone or with screen touches.

    Can Reverse Brake Assist Be Tuned Off?

    I have an early build 2020 and the reverse braking used to turn back on after restarts but i tried it recently and it stays off now. Maybe Sync updates allowed it to stay off.

    Hard shifts

    I've had harder shifts from 1-2 and 2-3 at times. Mainly when car hasn't warmed up. I did see dealer about it. they said shifting was normal but humored me and updated the PCM calibration as well as AWD calibration. unplugging car battery to restart trans learning can help. sport mode is...

    ZFG: I guess I'm a fanboy now too

    interesting that the bushings on the two bolts are different and oriented differently also. blaster9 says another owner on FB with one bolt had the same issue. 2 cases to me is enough to be a potential problem.

    ZFG: I guess I'm a fanboy now too
