Official Tesla-Style Head Unit

[Marvinmadman]

Doubt it. Could you pull the lower manifold to gain access to the bolt? Or did it break flush with the head?

Edit: Never mind, just realized you have the V6.

I can do it after work if you need a Gen 2.

Gen2 or Gen1 (I did it on gen1 but I can do it quick on Gen2)

Was the bolt plastic?

No the bolt is metal. It's probably torque at 10ft since my wrench didn't clicked to make me stop.

That a view from my intake. I took a blurry picture whenever I removed it quickly and it's flush...

 

[Marvinmadman]

Left hand drill bit should get it out

So its a metal part in a plastic body? It hard to see whats going on there. So you have a picture from the side?

What size do you think I'll need? I've never done that before. I'm kinda scared... As you can see I'm more of a tech guy than a mechanical guy :lol:

I do but really blurry. It's a metal bolt that's inside a goldenish (Metal?) threaded part that's in the lower intake manifold (Which is plastic). I don't know if that makes sense lol.:headbonk:

EDIT: The gold part is the threaded hole that your bolt is screwing in. It's basically glued on to the plastic part of the manifold.

I'd just go to a parts store and look at their kits. They usually have a few different sizes. Go a little smaller so you don't hit the threads in the insert. If you do hit the threads, there's always a heli coil kit to remedy that. What about getting a new insert from Ford?

I just got my car back from warranty. I don't want them to void my warranty later on if I have a problem down the road... I just ordered that new bolt and I should get it tomorrow. Now, I just need to get that sucker out and I should be fine...

 

[Marvinmadman]

Don't go through a warranty to get that part lol. Just figure out the part number and order one.

That might let you use the Bluetooth on the HU for Torque somehow...

I tried every solution I could find under the sun, Torque even has a plugin that is SUPPSOED to let your radio get the data with your phone as an access point... but it doesn't work. Liu sent me a DHL tracking number, so I should have my Gen2 in 10-14 days, but I'm probably going to just try to trade it for a Sync3 setup if possible, or just sell it. The long boot time and lack of hard controls for HVAC are just too much of a deal breaker for me.

You said that whats long mine is about 20 seconds (I would guess).
