2012 New Ford Explorer

[foresterx]

*foresterx: Yung friend ko din got a sterling gray in the blink of an eye kasi kesyo nag-"back out" daw yung original buyer. He really wanted gray so no more thinking, kuha agad and it was cash purchase (Ford Edsa) last January.

*macsd: Ah ganyan pala ang active park assist. Didn't see that feature in my unit. As for the sd card thingy for the gps, I talked to one SA in MIAS (I think taga-Ford Manila sya), sabi niya di daw pwd activate yung GPS dito sa 'Pinas. For US lang daw.

di kaya strategy nila yan para kumagat agad ang buyer sa gusto nilang deal?

[macsd]

my SA just called me they have sterling gray available right now. the buyer "backed out" daw and if i want, they could give it to me if in-house finance. the problem is i don't like gray on most cars and never did like that color especially on the explorer. patulan ko na kaya or wait a couple of months for the one i really like.

It's your call. The casa will try to contact everyone in the list just to offer the unit out and surely
under their terms. In-house financing will earn the SA more rather than from a cash buyer.
Draw back though is the long wait will still likely to last until the next 3-4 months to come that is
if your lucky.

I will check the gps thing with FORD Phil. I remember the Sta Fe has exactly the same feature and it's working here with just the use of updated sd card. It should work as well here. Sana yung Active park assist lumabas din dito, laking tulong nun.
Natry mo na ba i-sync yung cp mo sa my ford touch?

[foresterx]

yon nga eh, kaya nahihirapan ako mag isip. if i don't get this one now i probably won't have one till june or july if i'm lucky at the same time it's not really the color of my choice and the in-house financing is just ridiculous considering that the interest rate is 10% and you have to purchase their in-house insurance which cost 80k.

I called up my SA and she said this feature is not included here. I also posted in the FB wall of Ford Phil and they said that it's not included. So mukhang di talaga pwede

As with the syncing of cp with MFT, I've only tried accessing my phone's sms to the MFT but with calls, I've never tried it. Ok lang sa akin coz I won't be using this feature anyway. Playing music from cp to MFT via bluetooth is also cool but it can't play videos. Videos can only be played if you sync iPhone using Apple's A/V Composite Cable (iPhone jack on one end and the 3-colored RCA cable on the other end). I use Samsung and even bought a similar cable from CDR King pero ayaw talaga mag-play ng videos

Voice command is cool It will mould you into becoming Juan Tamad

Yup, I think it's their strategy to sell their unpopular colors hehehe! Yung 10% in-house is only for 1 year?

It's weird but the bronze unit they displayed in MIAS '12 had black leather, hindi na pecan (two tone - black & brown) which I got

[supermanila]

Mga sirs, can MFT play DVDs?

Too bad Ford Phils went lazy and didn't enable the GPS feature with local maps, these are starting to become standard already I believe on other cars.

i went to MIAS and saw the new explorer.. now i know what pinagkakaguluhan niyo.. ganda nga interior..

Thanks a lot bro for the heads up. Sayang naman yung feature which actually was part of what we paid for.
Mine is full black leather seat na rin which i like than the 2 tone cover. Just matches the bronze color of my toy.
Nagkamali pa ang Global sa unit ko kasi na tint nila yung buong likod ng kotse leaving only the front 2 windows &
windshield without. I guess they realized it too late kaya naiwan yung front and to make their mistake profitable,
they even called to convince to install their expensive vkool tint. kaya when i got the unit, i understand why the SA
was forcing me to install the tint kasi naikabit na nila.

Can't wait for my batangas road trip this weekend after that will be baguio next week. Pagbalik ng Manila, diretso casa for the 1000 pms.

Its called "Privacy Glass", that's a standard feature.


Its even listed in the site of Ford Philippines.
"Privacy Glass: Rear Doors, Rear Quarters, and Liftgate"

Bro did you upgrade your MFT with the newer version? Kumusta FC mo? Mine was read about 22-24L/100 city driving and 13-16L/100km highway

*macsd naka HID na ba yun 2012 model na nakuha niyo?

Parang ang dilim ng halogen ng stock headlight ng 2011model na nakuha namin! Sa mga nakapag change na ng HID Saan kaya maganda mag pa change ng HID and what brand?

As I understand, the lifegate window and 2 passenger windows are tinted windows already or "privacy glass" as AG4 stated. So they still put tint on them? E d sobrang dilim na! Yung akin kasi they already informed of the "privacy glass" that's they they just told me to install tint on the front windows plus visor in the windshield (I don't like full tint on windshield, nahihirapan ako pag gabi or pag umuulan).

If macsd has the similar black leather on his bronze Explo just like the display unit in MIAS '12 then I guess he still has the 2011 mags kasi 2011 mags yung nakita ko sa MIAS '12. Athough sabi nya 2012 model sa kanya so baka yan yung pinost ni AG4 na picture. Mas maganda yung mags na yan hehehe!

Tumawag ako sa Ford Global last week regarding the MFT software upgrade... sabi sa akin wala pa daw upgrade! Pwede ko malaman kung anong software version yung sa yo?

[AG4]

Athough sabi nya 2012 model sa kanya so baka yan yung pinost ni AG4 na picture. Mas maganda yung mags na yan hehehe!

The alloy wheels on Explorer Limited in the pic I posted are the standard wheels in the US.
The local spec Explorer Limited comes standard with their "optional" polished aluminum wheels.

*3ple4 naka HID n ba yun nakita mo sa MIAS12?

For 2012? You mean the 2013 model year Explorers being manufactured now? I think the local spec Limited will retain the polished aluminum wheels.
