Thanks Jim!

As always, Steve, your videos are very comprehensive. Thanks for your hard work. Regarding how you level the bass, mid-range and treble, I always understood you should format them like a parabola: high on the bass and treble, with mid-range lower by two periods. Of course, that comes from the days when add-on equalizers with little led lights on home stereos were all the rage. I may be hopelessly out of date.

Thanks so much Patrick! I've played around with the settings a bit but I'll try some more tests with the mid-range a bit lower to see how it sounds

Just learned the “direct tune” Thanks Steve!

Thanks! Working on getting my hands on one, it's on the list though

How do you get rid of that window that show the news section? It drives me crazy! It's called "For You".

I have a 2021 xlt, and i have never been able to turn on my wireless app projection to get all these features. Any help?

Try deleting the phone and then re-adding it.. Remove the connection to the phone from the trucks bluetooth connections and remove the bluetooth connection from phone's bluetooth settings. The if you're on an iPhone go to Settings --> General --> CarPlay and delete your truck from there. Then reconnect your phone!

How do you change the theme? I really hate the blue edging in dark mode. Makes it look so tacky

You'd think there would be an option for different themes but it's either the day or night modes...

Is that the same system that's in the 23 Bronco Raptor

Some slightly different features between them but it's pretty much identical

My 2024 sync 4 doesn't have a lot of that. Must be cause it's an xlt without nav or sirius

Some of the features are trim level specific.. but you should have navigation in the XLT though. Connected navigation is standard, you just need to connect your phone though the FordPass app to activate it

If it's updated to the latest version, you should be able to go full screen. What trim level do you have?

​@roccooneill if you have Android Auto...touch the directional arrows on the screen and it should change to full screen. Touch it again and it will go to smaller screen.

Ford really misses the mark on small details that would make their vehicles feel modern and refined. That useless "info bar" frame surrounding the "full screen" Apple CarPlay is so tacky looking. If you ever driven another modern vehicle, the full screen CarPlay is truly full screen and it looks so sharp. Mixing Ford's 1990-era fonts and icons with Apple CarPlay design just doesn't translate as good design. Another modern detail that would be nice on the F150/F250 upper trim levels would be a digital rear view mirror.

If they don't get feedback from people they'd have no idea what people do and don't like. Full screen CarPlay does look good.. and the next gen screen solves that ;) I'm surprised more vehicles don't have the option for the digital rearview, I've always been a fan of that. Kia/Hyundai offer a blindspot view camera right in the cluster that looks great. So many things to try and build the perfectly loaded car

NexGen as in 2024? I’m looking at getting a Lariat. Is there a difference between that and XLT/Trimmer as far as options?

I don't like the new my truck 23 f150 xlt 5.0. My 2020 f150 xlt 5.0 is a better truck than the new f150 xlt don't like the sink 4 system at all

Is it just the media screen you aren't a fan of? What issues are you finding with it?

Android Auto is a piece of garbage. Worst feature in my truck. Ruined the whole enjoyment of a truck that when buying, I thought I would love....now it's a total regret. Especially when traveling...I will never buy another new vehicle with this system in it again. 😢 Ruined a totally good 4x4. By installing a junkie radio system. And navigation.

You know you don't have to use Android Auto right? And that it's not Fords fault but the UI of Android Auto itself... Pretty much every car has support for Android Auto so you're going to have to go used to find one that doesn't have it
