I did it myself. Most of the washing and cleaning supplies I had on hand already, so out of pocket costs were essentially zero.

Lincoln updated the app yesterday to version 1.0.1. In the release notes, it says "The app monitors status levels for tire pressure and oil life, notifying users when either of these require attention". Note that it does not say that there are now visual indicators to show tire pressure or oil life, like in the previous app. All it says is that you will be "notified" if either of these are outside the normal range. The update looks the same as the previous version.

Welcome to the forum, Norm. As a practical matter, I don't think it would be easy to add the modem. It is a highly integrated piece of hardware with special wiring throughout the car, special antennas, sensors, etc. If you really want it, you would probably be better off getting a 2015 model or later.

Mine was reading kilometers as well, even though it was set to Miles. I fixed that by going into the settings, tapping Km, letting the progress wheel spin, then tapping Miles and letting the progress wheel spin again. After that, the settings are reset to miles. Agree about oil life, battery, etc. Hopefully future updates will have that info. Should be easy, especially since it was in the previous app. All the remote features are working for me, though.

Ok, well that sounds like a more extensive problem. I hope it all works out quickly and easily.

The modem is usually included only in the higher level options packages.

I was having issues with the MyLincolnMobile app on my modem-embedded 2015 MKZ. None of the remote features were working, like remote lock/unlock, or remote start. I found out that this week, Lincoln published a replacement for the MyLincolnMobile App, called The Lincoln Way app: http://www.lincoln.com/campaignlibs/content/lincoln/us/en_us/default/lincolnway/app.html Once I deleted the old app and installed this one, all my remote features returned. The app is good and quite fast. I'll post more impressions in a later post, but for now, everyone should upgrade!

Myron, I was having the same issue on my '15 MKZ. The remote features of the MyLincolnMobile app were not working..... no remote lock, unlock, or start. It turns out, Lincoln has published an new app yesterday called The Lincoln Way app! During the transition, they must have deactivated the remote features on the old app. I deleted the MyLincolnMobile app and installed this new one, signed in, and all the remote features are working again! http://www.lincoln.com/campaignlibs/content/lincoln/us/en_us/default/lincolnway/app.html Hope this helps!

I upgraded my 2015 MKZ from Sync 3.7 to 3.8 back in January. The only caveat I can see is that your 2015 car must have the MyLincolnTouch system of Sync in order to upgrade, but I think all 2015 cars had that. The dealer should be able to install the upgrade for you, btw.

Steve is correct, you can use the outside keypad to lock the car. Just place the fob inside the car, close all the doors, then simultaneously hold down the bottom two buttons on the outside keypad to lock the doors. To unlock, just type in your 5 digit code, which in your case you will have to share with the shop so they can unlock the car. This is explained in the manual, btw.

Don't call it Luxe. Use the proper original name Luxe Metallicious Metallic (seriously!). Anyway, my 2015 MKZ in Luxe Metallicious Metallic is not chipped at all (except for a spot here and there on the front bumper -- darn gravel!).

Thanks Joe. That'll teach me to read the manual first! It's working just as you described.

My 2015 MKZ has the standard sunroof (not the pano). While I normally will drive with the sunshade open, the glass slider itself is usually closed or in the Tilt position. Today, it was a nice morning, so I opened the roof fully. I was surprised to see it only opened about two-thirds or three-quarters of the way. See the attached photo. Can you guys confirm this is the max opening or if mine is getting stuck somehow? I tried pushing gently on it as mine was opening but it could not go any further and there was no unusual noise or apparent binding. Thanks for any insight.

Thanks for the videos and explanation Myron. I'm going to try the Auto Start Stop on my BMW again.

But the Driver's Package includes Aluminum Foot Pedal Covers!!! I'd love to get a set of those and put them on my MKZ! I saw a set on a 2016 Fusion Titanium recently and they looked pretty nice!
