WE buy these damn things and load them up with what we like and what we can afford. But when the price of an XLT + Extras gets close to a Lariat - buy the Lariat. I'm not a fortune teller and don't know what the future holds but at some point were gonna get rid of the damn thing and the Lariat...
Lariat 2.7 is OK. All options except FX4. If my tires ever hit dirt it's for parking, camping or the asphalt ran out. Deluxe towing and the works. Last Ford truck I had was a 77' F150 with a wood tail gate - damn thing rusted out but the truck refused to die! Wanted the Lariat because my wife...

Do you have Siri and does it work? Does it work w/o your cell on? Have you downloaded Ford PASS from Google Play and tried installing that from your cellphone?. These might trigger the rest Do either of these work for you? Which version of Sync do you have and do you have thr B&O sound system?
Interesting ...... mine is working beautifully. I would highly recommend that you go to the google play store to download and install "Fordpass app" (NOT Fordpass connect) to your cell phone and follow the directions. I believe the icon will be downladed to your Sync 4a after you register thru...
