I tried to use nav via voice commands the other day and nearly put it in the ditch out of frustration. WAY too many various prompts and steps. I should be able to say a full address and location and the darn thing should be able to pull it up.

As far as I know, the only work around to the nav while driving is to use a lockpick device which plugs in to the rear of the unit. It requires a pretty extensive tear down of the dash/console to install, but allows access to rearview camera, addition of front camera, DVD playback while driving, etc.

Did a second wire snip mod today on a friends new EcoBoost. Five minutes, tops.

The only snag might be if you don't have a 5.5mm nut driver or socket. Not a super common size.

Thanks I will try it.

Does this wire snip eliminate the 5 chimes at start up too? I cringe everytime I start up my truck due to these chimes.

pfbz so what chime did you kill off with the second wire snip?

Maybe I worded that badly.
I snipped the one-and-only wire on a second truck.
Not a second wire on my truck...

In my 94 ranger the door chime would not stop "singing". I was bad that when we would drive from MD to NYC we kept all the windows open and turn the radio all the way up. My father found the fuse that controlled it BUT it also controlled the speedo so that wasn't safe at all.

I actually don't mind that chime. It serves a purpose and is much better than a darn buzz. I wish they could have made it where you could just turn off the chime on the control panel. But other than that, it's a good thing to have. lol

Tried it this morning on my 2011 Platinum, did not work, wish it did

Don't mind the door chime so much, hate the freakin Ebrake chime....been driven for 28years....I know if it’s still engaged or not.
