Zero issues here... and I'm around it 24/7

It has it's quirks, but so do other oem info systems.

The only problem I really have is that the bluetooth doesn't sync to my phone for the first 5 minutes I drive my truck. So if my wife calls as I am driving out of the yard because I forgot something, I can hear the phone ring, but if I pick it up (using the truck or the phone), I can't hear anything. I literally cannot make or receive a call for the first 5 minutes of my drive, regardless of whether I try to use the phone or the truck. That just sucks.

But, all the other time it seems to work as it should and I like it.

Zero issues with sync, and I even have it mixed with my Raxiom nav.

Must be user based....

Notice anything different?

Yes actually. I like to listen to pod casts on my iPhone via the blue tooth audio. With the update I can now see the title of the program on the car's display (non-nav). Also if I shut off the car during bluetooth playback, it now picks back up where it left off automatically instead of defaulting back to USB or the radio. Very handy.
I noticed also that I can control Pandora with the steering wheel controls but I'm not sure if that's new as I didn't use it much before. I can also see song and artist names from the Pandora play via bluetooth.

Sync works just fine in my Mustang. But I honestly just use it to receive and make calls.

Lincolns and elderly went together in our market. Spent 6 hours spread over 2 days teaching one elderly couple alone. That pushed even my patience to the limit.

The dealership just set up the stuff for my parents and all they have to do now is push a button. All my Dad uses it for is to make calls while he is driving. I don't think he calls me anymore unless he is driving.

^Doesn't sound too too bad..Hopefully that's all it is man and you get it back fast.

Granted it was last night but installed some backup LED's. Like these a lot as they're pure white and they don't have any blue to them. Much much brighter too.

Pretty much the same here. I've run the Mustang's sync through 4 phones (2 each for myself and my wife). It's had a couple of glitchy moments that a simple reconnect resolved. I primarily use it for phone like most, occasionally I'll explore other functions.

I also have Sync along with MFT in the Fusion. Again, pretty solid with a couple of issues that reconnect solved. I don't get the hate MFT gets, it's been intuitive for me from the first encounter (loaner Flex--zero instruction). I use most of the functions, and try to remember more of the voice commands beyond the simple phone ones. OK, I do get the complaining about the HVAC all being on the touch screen--that wasn't well thought out; they assumed too much that voice would handle it.

After having to endure rentals in a Malibu, Avenger, and Passat, I'm always happy to get back to MFT. IMHO it's a shame Ford is copying Chrysler's system with their new MFT. The other systems are a bigger pain to me to use, and look too '90's Playskool and cluttered to me.

Well, the axle I was looking at for a swap had some other mods that I didn't notice before. Thinking about what to do.

Sold my '14 tails and went to these custom lights.

From this:

To this:

I lost a little something for sure. It looks a lot less aggressive, I'm not thrilled. But, the Brembos that I bought with the price difference should help.

The wife has now told me to start looking for a deal on another set of 13/14 lights :chairfall:
