That's right, you've got a new Explorer don't you?  Do you have it already or is it on order?

Yes I ordered it back in January on a cold winter's day..... and right now it has been built and should be here this week - if you believe the system. After getting various arrival dates, I don't.  Sat in one a few weeks ago and was playing around with the screen and tried connecting my BB, but it didn't connect and the salespersaon had never tried it either. I'll learn. 

Do you have your VIN yet?  If so, you can go to syncmyride.com and see what version of sync you have on it.  I can't speak for the BB's but my iPhone 3GS has worked perfect so far.

I had the kids out at the park behind your old place yesterday.
Where did you end up moving to? We're definitely putting our place up for sale this year.

Great colour choice Gerard, looks fantastic!!   

Agreed - love the colour.  And one thing I will say for the multi-function screen and voice-driven MFT is that it sure eliminates a lot of button clutter.  That is a very clean-looking dash.

Agree with your point about the button clutter.  I've never been a fan of a gazzilion buttons cluttering up a dash.

I never quite understood the hatred for Acura interiors. Yes, there's a lot of buttons, but they're all rather logically AND stylishly arranged. The important stuff is in obvious places IMO and the steering wheel duplicates are great. The MDX interior is a great example of it. And further, their interiors are always really well put together. Much better looking than the outside too

EDIT: They've also got really sweet gauges.

Don't get me wrong, I really love Acura interiors other than the multitude of buttons.  Acura interiors are put together very well, no question about it.

Gee I can't tell you that - being in the Witness Protection Program does have it's drawbacks! 

Better hurry on selling though - March is best time and after that it gets tougher..
