My EB with a stock exhaust sounds louder to me than my 2007 V6 (also stock).
I wouldn't want it any louder, or someone might mistake me for a juvi in a $400 car with a fart pipe on it. Right now the car feels like a sporty German sedan when I'm driving it. I wouldn't want anything else from...
^ This.
If you are testing the sound system, bring an original CD (yes, one of those) or a good quality MP3 file (or something similar).
I could be wrong, but I feel that's the sound is loudest from CDs, followed by direct USB, and then perhaps a bit quieter via Bluetooth. Once I get some...
Tried the next/previous buttons to fast forward / rewind . . . it takes forever to move even 5 mins. They really need to let you scroll through a track via the screen...
I tried sticking more than 1 in there, and after a subtle grinding noise figured it wasn't a 6-slot changer like the 2007 model that I traded in ;) I did find it right away though :)
What's the MAX volume setting on SYNC3?
I had mine at 10 and it was pretty loud. Given the volume "chart" (circular image that shows the volume level visually) - I would imagine it had a LONG way to go.
So now that the 3.5mm jack is gone ... direct USB and Bluetooth are seemingly the only way to go for playing your own MP3s in the car (except CDs, I suppose).
Using the "Bluetooth" method you basically control the music with your phone, which works OK. I don't like Bluetooth though, so...
The 2016 12-speaker system sounds notably better than the 2015 one - I can confirm this now that I got my car yesterday. If anything, the amp seems to have been vastly beefed up. In the 2015, I had to listen at 70-80% volume (using the 3.5mm jack) to get it nice and loud. Yesterday, in the 2016...
Dealer called - mine is prepped and ready for pick up.
Timeline was: 6/28 order, 9/14 build, 9/29 delivery (9/26 - 9/30 last estimate).
FYI - he's giving me some story on how the EAA X-Plan & $750 offer aren't working in his system (I'm guessing the $750 in particular) - but he's calling Ford...
They probably have me (and others not getting anything $$ wise) in the system as having ordered a car already with a payment down?? Why bother giving us a rebate?
Update: so the account sign-up started working again, but at the bottom of the main screen all I get are some service and tire replacement rebates. :shrug:
There's no cap or rules in MA - http://www.realcartips.com/newcars/482-documentation-fees-by-state.shtml
That's my X Plan invoice .... should there be no extra fees added?
(It's a cash purchase, in case that makes a difference)
I have the EAA X-Plan printout in front of me.. and it says that the $275 fee is included in the X-Plan price already, and should "NOT" be added on.
Getting confusing here...
