That sucks. I've noticed the smell doesn't seem to be as strong as it was a few weeks ago, but it's definitely there when I turn on the fan.
Thanks for keeping us updated.
Pm Morrie. Prices for members are not advertised, and definitely lower than amazon. I got a roll-x from Morrie and his service is TOP-NOTCH. On my cover a strap pulled loose after a few months and I called Morrie. He had a brand new cover at my doorstep a couple of days later (and it was a...
Thanks for updating us. Work got crazy so I have been ignoring this issue for now. I'd love to know if changing the ignition switch solved the problem for you.

The smell I get is definitely not manure-like. Band-Aids best describes what I smell. If anyone else is having it, please chime in on the thread linked above which has Crystal's (Ford Customer Care) attention.
@$!&! It got really cold outside, again, and now the smell doesn't come. Figures. I'm guessing the dealer will think I'm crazy. They won't be able to fix what they can't reproduce.
Oh, well. I'm bringing it in tomorrow as scheduled, nonetheless.
Edit: I canceled and will wait for warm weather...
Bringing my truck in the day after tomorrow to have this checked out. I had the service manager read through this thread and the one from f150forum linked above, so he's got all the background info. I'll post my result. jrodrg, if you could do the same I'm sure we'll be helping someone (even if...
Here is a very lengthy thread on the "band aids" odor from HvAC: Strange smell - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans
I see Crystal has chimed in on that thread, too... no one has yet to get a soution from their dealer. I'm considering making an appt, but don't feel like 100 mi...
Weird! My 2013 12k miles just started doing this last week. I'm in CT, so had the same cold winter. The heat works just fine, but there is definitely an electronic kinda smell (not altogether unpleasant - almost new car smell).

No, but no reason it won't work. I use VirtualBox a lot at work and have used it to flash firmware for R/C ESC's via USB.
Parallels is $$ and doesn't do anything extra that you need. (It has a "seemless" mode that overlays Windows UI onto OSX. Unless you need to keep Windows open all day you...
Oracle VirtualBox is free and easy. Winblows will be contained to a single file, so no worries "polluting" your Mac. PM me if you need help. No way I would keep a dedicated machine around for loading tunes, but that's just me. (Might also be able to run SCT's software under wine - google wine...
Finally tried this tonight. It works, but boy the picture quality sucks. I'm guessing it's the conversion that kills it. Maybe I'll plug it into the RCA jacks on my TV to compare, but I'm definitely not impressed. The DVD player in our 10 year old minivan is about 1000x sharper. Kinda wish I...
+1 Just search this forum for "nav-tv" to see how many of us are paying good money to control the front camera. It's incredibly useful for parking in close quarters.
No, the problems wouldn't go away. I'm a software developer. ALL software has bugs. I just wanted to point this one out to the Ford rep.
And I've had android devices. They aren't any better or worse than Apple. At the end of the day they are all pretty damn slick.
With every iOS upgrade I have to delete my phone from MFT, delete sync from BT on phone, re-pair phone and MFT, turn off truck and open door, and finally start truck to get text messages to work. This happens even with minor iOS updates (eg 7.0.1 -> 7.0.2). Annoying. And this is just to receive...
I only installed mine yesterday, but I can see that I'll use it daily for parking right up to the wall without hitting it. Also used it in a tight-ass ATM drive through, today. I know I'll use the rear cam to check on my boat trailer while towing this summer, and wife can now punch in nav...
I just had my NAV-TV installed, today (I got it on one of the previous group buys). It is freakin' AWESOME. I smiled the whole way back from the installer while I flipped the camera from front to back over and over. I finally have use for the front camera (parking). Nice!
