I went with letting it sit on the passenger side of the mirror just to keep it out of that limited center space. Even having a phone holder floating around in the middle seems a little excessive for the area.

That's just the unfortunate truth here and yes, he did a nice job with his car it looks great. I've always made it a point to stay off of first-year cars. Even a few second year models- and some of them are just irresistible. Unfortunately, you need to let someone else take it on the chin.

What do you mean whatever? This guy is paying his car payment like most of us pay ours and he's getting nothing but a headache in return. I'm sure Ford will be okay in spite of the well-earned candor. In fact, Ford's not losing any sleep over stories like this. They should have swapped the car out.

Well, that seals it- B&O, who certainly have a profiled interest in this licensing/merchandising deal (whatever it may be) are using it as a talking point on their website! Subway also makes an 'Italian Meatball' sub that their advertising matter presents with glistening, freshly cooked popolo...

I know the sound and I get it too. I know it's an oddball engine so I'm just kind of rolling with it, so to speak. I'm keeping my ears open for any worsening and then at that point maybe I'll do something about it because I know they're not going to hear anything 'out of the ordinary' at the...

My father was a long time car dealer. Pretty smart guy, knew everything and anything about cars and moving them. He made this huge sweeping statement when I was a young kid and still sticks with me because I'd love green and I often want a green car, but he told me over the dinner table one...

Eh. For me, there's a little too much going on and the rainbow thing looks a lot like an LGBTQ flag, which is fine but it's not my flag to wave. Actually, I don't have too many flags I'd want to wave. Nothing wrong with colorful , however we didn't even have colorful cars like that in the '70s...

Isn't it funny how we spend our careers eating, usually badly? I still have bad eating habits from a career in sales- both on the road and at desks. Same for my wife. We'd have dinner with our kids as they were growing up and be done inside about 8 minutes choking it down and leaving the table...

Me? I have a long career in 'square and ugly' cars. I did make an exception for the Saab 900s back in the 80s. That was ugly enough without being Square. The Nissan Cube? A thing of beauty. The original Scion xB- I had it and I loved it. It all started with a 1970 VW 411 wagon back in the '70s...

Today? I ate some grainless tortilla chips as I was driving and left some crumbs in the console. Not my usual MO, but I was hungry and they were delightfully salty, like me.

The 1.5 is definitely an oddball engine. There's a little hill I get to just before my house and I find that it's best if I kind of gently kick it into overdrive instead of crawling up. I don't think I've ever had a car go Putt-Putt on a not particularly difficult hill. It's not really a deal...

Your posts on this matter should be required reading for anyone who wants to sensibly upgrade this system, Meanderthal. You've done all the heavy lifting on this.

You hit the nail on the head with this post. I stepped out of a Jeep that had a fake Beats sound system on the horrible UConnect system and while it really wasn't all that good, it absolutely smoked what I have in my BS. I'm working on making the necessary changes now. There are a couple of...

The good news is, wrapping is a fairly inexpensive way to make some changes on your car. If you're only doing the top, I can't imagine anyone's paying more than $900 to $1,000 to have a professional do it.

I absolutely agree. It depends on how and what you listen to. I listen to spoken word myself. I've had my ears blown out by Black Sabbath and The Who in the 70s and eighties, but I enjoy fine stereo for whatever music I'm listening to these days and for a couple of hundred dollars, there are...

It's a lousy stereo at best. Looking forward to upgrading the particularly cheap and lousy speakers sometime soon. There's some good reading along with some excellent and thoughtful improvement discussed in this thread...

My 'Ice Cream Truck' BS Heritage in Provincetown MA a few days ago. It was the two-tone that sold me.

Both Riotfunk & Meanderthal have done an outstanding job on this thread and with this information. I don't think any of us could ask for a better road map on affordably getting the best out of this fairly disgraceful BS Entertainment System. I'm immediately going to begin my improvements based...
