    Ford Sync / Jukebox / MP3 / USB / CD / DVD

    Different people. Different music styles. Different playlists. Lack of repetition. Different moods. It all adds up to a lot of music. A lot more than 8GB. That's why Apple makes a 160GB iPod. I don't need to be told that voice commands are not available every time I get into the car. I...

    Ford Sync / Jukebox / MP3 / USB / CD / DVD

    Indexing, I can live with, as it still plays while indexing. However, "that woman" is driving me crazy!

    Ford Sync / Jukebox / MP3 / USB / CD / DVD

    Indexing & no voice command warning driving me nuts A couple of questions for anyone out there: 1) Is there any way to avoid INDEXING the drive every time I turn the car on? You'd think if there are no changes, then indexing should not be necessary. 2) Is there any way to get the women...

    Ford Sync / Jukebox / MP3 / USB / CD / DVD

    UPDATE: I picked up a 500 GB Western digital USB 2.0 had drive on the weekend, and used a free utility to format it to FAT32. Then I used iTunesExport (free utility) to export and copy all my music to the hard drive (from iTunes), making sure that the M3U files remained in "simple" format. The...

    Ford Sync / Jukebox / MP3 / USB / CD / DVD

    @Unknown_Driver Thanks for the idea of using a USB Hard Drive. I will look into that. I can pick one up for under $50 and put everything onto it. I have a Centon 16GB USB DataStick and my SHO doesn't like it, while my smaller generic USB Flash Drive does work. Hopefully the USB HD will work...

    Ford Sync / Jukebox / MP3 / USB / CD / DVD

    I have spent a little time experimenting with different ways to manage music in my new SHO. So, I though I would pass on my learnings, to save people some effort. I was a little excited to have a 10GB Jukebox to play with, and wanted to get some of my (120GB) MP3 music loaded. I quickly...

    Dash Lights

    Do I feel dumb Thanks, N8rfastback. That got me to look into things a little deeper. Here's what I discovered so far: 1) I have a Canadian car with Day Time Running Lights. 2) With the lights in the "O" position, I run into the problem listed previously. I thought this was some kind...

    Transporting bicycles in 2011 SHO trunk

    Rhino Rack / Roof Rack / Load Bars (Photos) Below are photos of the Rhino Rack in case you are interested in carrying a bike up top. The Rhino Rack is solid and excellent quality. If you must put load bars onto an SHO, I think these look as good as it's gonna get.

    Dash Lights

    No night time illumination below the Nav? Is this normal? None of the buttons below the nav light up at night.

    Transporting bicycles in 2011 SHO trunk

    With both wheels off, my 56cm road bike EASILY fits into the trunk (with the back seats still up). I doubt would be possible without removing both wheels. However, this shouldn't be a big deal. If you own a SHO, you also probably own a pretty nice bike - and it should have quick-release wheels...

    Gen 4 Trunk Release help, please

    Thank you everyone for the quick reply. I never thought of looking that low! What an odd spot to put the trunk release. Good thing the trunk doesn't automatically pop open, otherwise I'd get smacked in the chin every time I bent down to open it:nut::nut: I also signed up for SHOPOWER...

    Gen 4 Trunk Release help, please

    I am a happy new owner of a 2011 Taurus SHO. :woo-hoo: I am very happy with the comfort, performance and technology of my new car. However, I am having a big issue with the trunk release. I am aware that the trunk can be opened in the following ways: 1) Push the trunk release button on the...
