Ha, what a small world. I am from Pharr too, las milpas to be exact. What are your future plans for your platty. I want to lift it but probably settle on a level for now.

Hey everyone,

I posted the entry below on the general page. The feedback wasn't exactly helpful. So I though that I would reach out to you guys since you own the same truck and are very familiar with navigation/entertainment system.

"I have a 2010 Platinum f150, and so far it has been running well without any serious issues. Until now. Lately, I have been experiencing severe delays when using the navigation/entertainment screen. For example, when moving from the radio or aux screen to the map display, the screen will freeze up for almost 30 to 45 seconds before finally switching to the map. In addition, sometimes when driving while using the gps, "she" will seem to take a long time to say the name of the street; almost as if "she" is trying to figure out how to pronounce the name. During that time, the map will freeze until the street name is said, the map "catches up".

This may not be related, but, often while I am entering address into the gps, there is a lag after I press the first letter of the street name or the city. Then after 30-45 seconds, the system catches up and I can complete the address.

Has anyone experienced any of these issues? And if so, how did you fix the issue?"

Tonight, while driving, I was switching from the media input (cd, etc) to the radio. I actually was able to count to 27-30 seconds before the screen was no longer frozen AND I was able to adjust the volume.

The suggestion that I received prior to this attempt was to reset the system to factory settings. I tried this by accessing it via the Menu. Still, nothing changed. Same problem.

Thoughts?

When was the last time you updated the Sync software? Just curious, as an update was put out recently to cure some lag, just as you are describing.

I'd start there. A software update/install may just cure your issues.

Lol. Yeah it is. I'm wanting 37's on the wheels I have, so I need more lift. Sitting at 7.5" in front now, but need more. I know a couple of people with them on our trucks, and a few with them on newer body gm trucks. None have had problems. But ford hides the BL better than the gm guys. It'll look fine.
