    Onboard AT&T LTE Cell Service - Looking to Change Carrier / SIM Card Slot?

    I brought up the issue of the SIM in the OEM 4G modem and was told by various Ford Engineers who work on that component that the modem only has an eSIM. So the 4G LTE radio inside doesn't use a "hard" SIM its embedded eSIM. Here is a definition I ripped from a cellular site. An embedded SIM...

    Onboard AT&T LTE Cell Service - Looking to Change Carrier / SIM Card Slot?

    There are still 2G sites out there?.......I was told all 2G was pulled in Canada/USA years ago. As 5G pushes out we should see 3G hardware going obsolete soon so I would be very surprised if 2G sites still existed. 4G LTE will be the fall back for 5G

    Rear seat entertainment

    Yes it is possible, I just did it myself. The installation is not a big deal for anyone handy with tools but you gain the OEM warranty of you get the dealership to install. I paid a fraction of what Ford wants for the Dual Headrest DVD package but I would recommend some of the newer style kits...

    SYNC Build 21194 Is Released by Ford

    Just a heads up for everyone else. Initiated a cellular phone call (Not through WiFi Calling) outside and then walked to my vehicle and started it. As the poorly engineered SYNC3 software loads up for its sluggish boot up phase the iPhone 12 MaxPro (iOS 15) makes the Bluetooth handshake and the...

    I did the download on a Windows machine and it worked perfectly, so much for OTA, what a joke.

    Cargo/Trunk Liner

    I bought the OEM Ford Rear cargo liner with the Explorer logo. I leave my third row down probably 80% of the time so its OK but the OEM liner is a hard, slippery plastic not a softer rubber mat. It looks cheap and is kind of noisy to be honest. I prefer OEM products but something a little softer...

    Sync 4 Upgrade for 2020 Explorer

    I use SYNC4 in a work truck, and on a demo Mach E, its very unimpressive to say the least. It looks great on the big 12" screen in the new 2021/22 F150 but functionality is still nothing like GM MyLink or FCA U-Connect.

    Sync 3.4 Update (Build 21020) Now Available on the Owner Site

    Is that only available from Cyanlabs, nothing official yet?

    Sync 3.4 Update (Build 21020) Now Available on the Owner Site

    Its just the APIM, that can be swapped without much effort. I bet its doable.

    Sync 3.4 Update (Build 21020) Now Available on the Owner Site

    I agree SYNC3 is a poorly executed system but mapping is optimized for the 10 " screen, hopefully there will be a migration path for 2020/21 owners to bump up to SYNC4. I had a 2021 F150 XL work truck a few weeks back and it was running SYNC4 on the older small 8" screen. Didn't really seem that...

    Sync 3.4 Update (Build 21020) Now Available on the Owner Site

    Anyone installed build 21194 yet?......available on Cynlabs not Ford Owners yet. Just wondering if it's the fix for SiriusXM issues

    Can Reverse Brake Assist Be Tuned Off?

    I turned mine off in vehicle settings and it stays off. Scares the crap out of ya when it false alerts and slams the brakes on.

    Bang and Olufsen opinion?

    I agree with you, I like the B&O system sound but the sound in my other vehicle a 2021 Jeep GC Overland by Harman Kardon is significantly better. But then again U-Connect is significantly better than SYNC3.
