Received my Mav Lariat package a couple of weeks ago. So far, I'm very happy with the vehicle. Thanks Steve, so much for explaining the system. The one set back I did have was the lack of navigation, but you took care of that (and more) for me. Glad I found your link👌.
That's exciting and you're welcome! What car/truck did you own before you got into the Maverick?
The three two one was amazing just like the review was amazing!
Thanks JD!
Very through review! Thanks for the quick and consice explanation of the features.
Thanks Mike! Have you already picked up your Maverick or doing some research until yours is built?
@@CarsWithSteve I have ordered it but it hasn't been assigned a VIN yet.
@@mikeg_123 Very nice! What build did you decide to go with?
@@CarsWithSteve Hybrid with the luxury package. Ordered it on Nov. 12th, just made it in time. It's going to be awhile before I get it.
@@mikeg_123 Hopefully sooner than later but yeah everyone online is talking about a delay in their hybrid Mavericks. Curious what your thoughts are once you do get it though!
Thank you much, my Maverick is being built next week, so very timely.
That's great Tom! What build did you end up going with?
Does your tracker say In Production right now?
When did you ordered it ? Is it hybrid ?
Thanks Steve for the information
You're welcome
That's exactly what I wanted to see. When the Display Off button on screen or on the dashboard is pressed the display turns off 100%, even the backlight. In GM vehicles, the backlight stays on so the display is still technically on. My 2017 Focus works just like shown in the Maverick so I'm glad they didn't go as cheap as GM did.
Glad that one thing was in the video! I didn't even think of the compare between this screen and the older one in the Focus, great catch. Have you already ordered your Maverick or doing some research?
Awesome video thanks for sharing!!
You're welcome!
Fantastic job on the video.
Thanks Devin!
awsum video review thank you
You're welcome!
This.. So helpful
Glad it helped!
This is helpful. It will be my first vehicle with this kind of technology. Still wish it had a CD player like my 2009 Escape. Can you explain how to play music off a USB stick?
Thank you! I touched on it quickly but if you insert a USB stick with MP3s it'll show up as an audio source. Easiest to have all files in a single folder when you transfer to the USB stick
Any published specs on the base stereo system? Amp, power, speaker sizes? Great head unit review Thanks!
No published specs by Ford unfortunately outside of what's in the order guides. 6 speaker standard with 8 speaker B&O optional but no amp ratings or sizes
Thanks for the information! Just want to ask if there's an aftermarket media screen available for the Maverick XLT? The original screen is not clear enough specially during daytime. I wish Ford could have spend a little bit more $$ to give their customers a more clearer media screen. Also, is it possible to replace the key ignition with a push button ignition? Thank you and more power to your channel!
Anytime! Most aftermarket screens would be compatible.. it would just be a matter of the features that are available in the one you pick up. There's a small chance that you could find a Sync3 screen for your Maverick and have it programmed to your VIN to get all the features you'd find in the Lariat
Thank you
anytime! How are you enjoying your Maverick so far?
Great. Thanks.
You’re welcome! How are you enjoying the Maverick so far?
Awesome!
Thanks!
Love the video. However, it's anything in this video I'm never forgetting, it's how to remove your phone XD. Poor phones didn't even stay connected for 10 seconds XD
Hahaha such a focus on how to remove it. I probably should play around with the settings a bit more when the phone is connected 🤔
Steve, thanks for creating the best video I’ve seen regarding the Maverick’s infotainment system. Just a few questions: 1) I assume you can connect your iPhone to either the USB-A or USB-C connector and simultaneously utilize the second USB (A or C) with the USB flash drive you mentioned? 2) Do you know if the screen will display album art (embedded in the MP3 file or as a .jpg contained within an album’s folder) while playing an MP3 file stored on a USB flash drive? 3) Might I be able to connect my old school 60GB iPod to the second USB port? These are just a few of the (hyper-specific!) questions I since I wait patiently (Spring….2025? Joking….I think.) for my hybrid Maverick. Thanks!
Wow, appreciate the kind words!
1. Yes you can connect to either port
2. Album art is typically visible with other devices - that should carry over if it's available in the file
3. The Maverick owner's manual does claim that it supports nearly any media player - with iPod listed. As long as it has USB or Bluetooth you should be good to go
Haha hopefully you see yours a bit sooner than that! What build did you decide to go with?
@@CarsWithSteve Thanks for the reply. I ordered an XLT in Area 51 with lux and 360 in August. To (hopefully) ward off disappointment, I’m assuming a delivery this spring and would like to be pleasantly surprised if it arrives sooner. Thanks again.
@@majoraward Nice build! I've seen more of that Area 51 colour on the road recently, pretty unique though. If you post an owner's review drop back here and share a link!
This may have already been asked but, can this same thing be done without plugging in via bluetooth or do you have plug in? thanks.
Not on sync3 unfortunately, still a wired connection
Muy Buena information
gracias amigo
NM. LOL. That question was answered.👍
Haha glad you found it! How are you liking the Maverick so far?
Is there a way to hit the Fast Forward button to skip to the next radio station without defaulting to the search station feature? Makes it easier to switch stations when driving when a commercial comes on.
If you do a longer press and hold of the skip button (left or right) it will seek rather than skip presets
Does the spotify mobile app work over Bluetooth or is it android auto for me?
Any phone audio can be streamed over Bluetooth! I should have clarified that in the video. The app itself won’t show in the Sync screen like Pandora or LiveXLive but Bluetooth audio for most apps will work no problem
For an iPhone, do we have to use the USB port or can I use a USB - C port?
I believe they're both data transfer ports so you should be able to use the USB-C
Need one for the 23 Ford Maverick Lariat with Sync 3 and Navigation
It's been so tough to actually get a Maverick Lariat to review. The day they land at dealers I'm partnered with the leave immediately. It's on the list though when I'm finally able to get into one
@@CarsWithSteve thanks. Just got my 23 Maverick hybrid Lariat with luxury package last week. Having a hell of a time to get apps from my iPhone to show up on the AppsLink for the Sync 3.4. The Apple Car Play works great but can’t to anything with adding compatible apps to Sync 3.4 Sill figuring out Navigation. Thanks
AppLink is a little bit of a pain. Which ones are you trying to get to work that are giving you trouble?
@@CarsWithSteve if you are down Central Texas way, you are welcome to use my 23 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury for your review. I talked to Ford and they removed their Sync 3 App Store and no longer support their sys link on the Apple App Store. So I’m not sure what apps are compatible though the chat person gave me a list. Was trying Google Maps, Waze, Spotify, Gas Manager and a few more.
Appreciate the offer! Just need to get my passport renewed now. Next time I'm in a Ford with Sync3 I'll dive into the AppLink a bit more, it's something I've never really done - normally just recommend connecting to Android Auto or Apple CarPlay
My android phone was paired to my 2023 maverick but the voice button doesn't work to for me to tell whom to call. Can you help me with that?
If you do a long press and hold of the voice command prompt it should launch into your Google Assistant... if it doesn't go to your Android Auto settings on your phone and make sure that "Hey Google" detection is enabled.. then just use your voice to call
It would be cool if you could watch videos on it. It's got a screen that plays video. But what can you do?
I know right? That's one complaint I have with most manufacturer media screens, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There needs to be a way to play video when the car is stopped and in park
@@CarsWithSteve agree, when in park only.
@@richardparnell8402 haha now hopefully Ford, Google or Apple read these comments and make it happen
When driving can't make calls while in motion?? Is there a setting I'm over looking...
Usually disabled through the screen when the vehicle is in motion. If you're connected to CarPlay or Android Auto you could long press the voice command prompt on the steering wheel to activate your assistant and make the call. Other option would be to rely on the Sync call feature..
When I plug in my android phone it only shows that it's charging. I have no options to start Android Auto.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Few things you could try. First is a screen reset, this video shows you how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/Dk9n49bi7CE/v-deo.html
If that doesn't work then it's either the cable or the USB port that you're using. I find sometime the USB-C ports don't work properly for data transfer. But it could also be your USB cable... some 3rd party cables are not data transfer and only support charging. The next step would be to replace the USB cable with one that has a data icon on it (similar to the icon next to the Maverick's USB ports)
How do I install my XM radio from my previous vehicle that I have a contract with.
Call up SiriusXM. Let them know the new vehicle info and they’ll push an update to your vehicle
@@CarsWithSteve thank you
I will be receiving my new Area51 xl Maverick next week. It was special ordered for someone but their finance did not work out so lucky me to get one this year.
@@ronkilby6545 anytime
@@ronkilby6545 I'm finding some Maverick and Bronco owners are running into the same thing.. They snag a factory order that someone had to bail on. Hope you love the truck!
I tried connecting my apple ipod but it appeared not compatible with system.
I've run into a few devices that aren't Sync3 compatible.. Curious.. what model iPod are you using?
Can I connect a pixel 3 phone to maverick
Yeah, you'd be able to connect over bluetooth for phone/music or through USB for Android Auto. If Android Auto isn't working when you connect, just make sure you have a USB cable with data transfer support
How do you get Netflix on it with Android?
Aftermarket dongle to project the full Android OS onto the Sync media screen. There's no way to project video otherwise
Did anyone realized screen pop up a message says phone is disconnected? That happen for all mavericks. I have seem people report this. And it happen for me a lot. The apple car play just suddenly disconnect and maybe recover after few minutes then disconnect again.
That's actually how the system is supposed to work. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are separate connections than bluetooth. When a phone is connected via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay it no longer relies on bluetooth for phone calls as the AA/CP connection is now responsible for that.
So the Sync screen would disable the bluetooth connection to the phone which would cause the "phone is disconnected" message. It probably could be handled classier than showing that message though!
when I plug in my IPHONE 12 I don't get offered CARPLAY .
Few things to try.. Try a soft reboot by pressing and holding the volume power button and the right seek button for 5-10 seconds. Wait for the screen to turn on and then try again.
If that doesn't work, then on your Maverick, delete the phone connection from the vehicle and the vehicle connection from the phone's bluetooth. Then on your iPhone go to Settings --> General --> CarPlay. If your Maverick is there, click "forget this car". Then reconnect over USB and it should work.
If that doesn't work, try a different USB cable. It needs to have a data transfer icon on it. I find that 3rd party cables don't like to work sometimes
Ford co-pilot can be added to ford maverick 2022
Co-Pilot360 can be added in from the factory no problem but the cost to install the sideviews with BLIS, wire it in and program Sync to use the function is like 3 - 4x the cost
How much are we talking
4 -7k.. You'd need to find mirrors with the blind spot system, wire it in, program Sync. Not worth it to try and do it aftermarket
I have a Maverick XLT Hybrid, which incidentally I hate so far, with about 400 miles on it in two months. Can't wait to get rid of it, yet must drive it across the country first.
How do I manually tune to a radio station and then have it within a preset ?
And it seems the presets are only available on the steering wheel.
Horrible and convoluted all the controls on this vehicle and it's software.
Can't wait to get back to driving my Japanese car.
Hmm.. what aren't you enjoying about the Maverick so far?
1. I cover tuning and presets in this video around the 01:00 mark. You can use the tuning rocker just below the bottom right of the screen or use the "Direct Tune" when you're on the Audio tab. The audio tab also shows all of your presets
2. Presets are also available in the audio tab
Watch the full video to get a better understanding of how the system works.
@@CarsWithSteve I've spent hours trying to figure this out and cannot. I can find this specific radio station by seek, by manually tuning, and by direct tune. Yet it does not show up in the horizontal list of stations (and I've set the radio to give me up to 6 lines). So there is no way. that I can find to get it into presets. At one point the radio face told me to go to settings, yet no help there. overall I have no clue just how stations initially get into that horizontal list ? [I am 75 yo and hate learning software, hate my smart phone]. I can take an engine apart, put it back together and make it run.
@@meathead585 oh I gotcha, you need to save a new preset. Here's what you do... Change to the station that you want to save. Then in the horizontal list, press and hold one of the buttons for a station that you're ok to overwrite.
After a few seconds you should see your station saved!
@@CarsWithSteve >>Thanks that did work, though, wow, what convoluted software that is...and with no explanation of that detail in the owners manual.
@@meathead585 few odd issues you're having there. Have you brought them up to the dealer yet for them to have a look?
Glad that helped!
I don't see anything about Ford Pass Connect...
Coming up on the videos to shoot list. Can’t activate unsold vehicles so I have to wait for previous models or demo units to be available
My apple car play doesn’t work.
You can try resetting the screen first.. Press and hold both the Power button (center of the volume knob) and the Seek Right button for 10 seconds, that should turn the screen off and then bring it back up again. If that doesn't work... delete the phone connection from the vehicle and the vehicle connection from your phone's bluetooth. Then on your phone go to Settings --> General --> CarPlay and delete your car from there too and then reconnect over USB.
If that doesn't work, get a new USB cable. Some 3rd party ones are charge only and don't support data transfer
Do you have the time to listen to me whine? About nothing and everything, all at once I am one of those melodramatic fools Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think, I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid or am I just stoned? I went to a shrink, to analyze my dreams She said it's lack of sex that's bringing me down Oh I went to a whore, she said my life's a bore So quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think, I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Or I'm just stoned Grasping to control So I better hold on Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think, I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Or am I just stoned?
Bruhh
@@saurabhbhalla90 The song got stuck I my head I had to get it out
Great song! And seeing the lyrics typed out.. I’m thinking I used to sing the song a bit different than it was written 😂
@@CarsWithSteve Do you want to know why ford took all there cars away? It is because they are all going to be hybrid or EV. Wait until you see the 2025 Ford Taurus!
@@michaelw1669 Move to EV and a shift in consumer buying from sedan to crossover. That spy shot looked pretty good, I'm curious if they're going hybrid or just make a leap into an EV sedan
thank you for the info. However, I will not give you a "like", as you tube, in their lack of wisdom, does not allow a "dislike" anymore.
If you can sort this out with the idiots at you tube, I'll gladly give a "like".
It is pretty weird that it's not visible in the front end of UA-cam anymore. We can see it in the back end of our UA-cam channels though 🤷♀️
@@CarsWithSteve : Feel free to forward my response to you tube. They've stopped replying to me.
