besides that parang gusto ko din ang blis and active park assist. hd radio and xm satellite radio i never used on my other cars since ipod parati ang gamit.

Since i'm also on the lookout of the 2012-13 Explorer, i found this TSB of Explorers '11 up to '13 over the net. Can you guys verify some of these, especially the lucky owners?

Sir isa pa lang yung HD Radio station dito. Tambayan 101.9. Yung heated front seats pwede gamitin kapag tag ulan tapos sobrang lamig sa loob ng car. May ganyang feature din yung gray market Grand Starex. Maganda yung may collision warning with brake support, parang City Safety ng Volvo.

Meron pala Ambient Lighting yung local Explorer. Napipili ba yung colors nun?

Around the price ng Pajero BK hanggang price ng local Traverse yung gray market Explorer daw. USDM yung iniimport ng Hancars

[foresterx]

I wonder how much more expensive they can be. HD & satellite radio is included sa local pero wala naman HD radio
station tayo. Satellite radio require registration & monthly due, walang provider dito. hot & cold front seats kasama din
pero who would need this. Adaptive cruise control & ambient light meron sa local pero walang collision warning with brake
support.

I wonder kung meron talaga auto wiper feature ang local explo? ayaw kasi mag automatic ng unit ko or meron setting required.

i use the cold front seats lalo na pag nababad ang kotse sa araw. but heated seats, it never gets that cold in the philippines even on rainy days for our leather seats to be really cold that you'll need to use the heated seats.

adaptive cruise control i haven't tried, how does this work? do i just set the cruise control then it automatically adapts the speed of the car infront of you if he is going slower or faster than you?

auto wiper if you find out how to set it please let me know.

yes, napipili siya.

Yes adaptive cruise control will automatically accelerate/decelerate your vehicle relative to the distance of the vehicle in front of you based on the speed and distance you specify at the controls. Cruise control however should be used with caution on rainy days since it might cause your wheels to spin and lose traction.

For me, kung 3.0M pesos yung gray market Explorer with those added features, definitely kukunin ko yun. Added safety features na rin yung BLIS at adaptive cruise control & collision warning with brake support na malaking tulong talaga. Pati na rin yung OEM Bi-Xenon headlamps with automatic high beam kasi may mga dinadaanan akong dark streets beofre makapasok ng subdivision namin. And makakatulong din yung Active Park Assist if hirap ka magparallel parking

Adaptive cruise control is on the left side of the steering wheel. Say your running at 100kph and you want to set the cruise control, press on/off then ctrl (yung middle) then you can further adjust the speed by pressing +/-. The collision warning ay wala po sa unit natin. I only manage to use this cruise feature sa SCTEX, but never in NLEX o SLEX dahil sa dami ng sasakyan.

Thanks dun sa nag input ng HD radio 101.9, let me check it out the sound difference.

balikan ko nga dealership ko about the auto wiper, kasi there is a square thing sa ibabaw (middle part) ng dash board + the dotted tint at the center which normally are sensors for water on the windshield, like those in the camry.

That's not adaptive cruise control. Its just regular cruise control, same with other cars who have cruise control.

About the auto wiper, wala talaga yung explorer natin.

Thanks , i stand corrected in such a case. I thought the +/- would be the adaptive one while the distance control would be the collision warning which is not included.

I also want blis and active park assist. It would be nicer to have blis rather than the small blind spot mirror we have in local units although I find it useful. Agree with you on the hd and xm sat radio, even if we have those locally i have my iPod so won't subscribe to those.

I don't think we have adaptive cruise control on local units. I think its just regular cruise control, I've tried it. And about the rain sensing wipers, sadly this is another feature that i miss. local units don't have rain sensing wipers as well

There's around 6-8 colors to choose from. Never got to use the heated seats on any of our cars that has it, except to play prank
on some of my friends. Weather here isn't cold enough, but I always use the ventilated seats. No more butt sweat. hahaha

Parang wala talaga yung rain sensor sa wiper. Kasi kanina bumuhos ang ulan sa Katipunan hanggang Fort Boni, di ko mahanap yung controls, so sinagad ko na lang yung speed level ng wipers para mabilis.

Speaking of heavy rains, parang walang effect yung fog lamps. It looks like it's just ordinary halogen bulb ang nilagay. Ang gusto ko kasing bulb for fog lamps yung medyo greenish-yellow, yun talaga ok sa daan kapag malakas ang ulan.

Bad trip, kanina ko lang napansin na may gasgas yung isang mags ng Explo ko. Location is typical, yung sa edge area na malapit sa gulong. Sira na araw ko when I saw it. Ang alam ko parang hindi pwede ipa-polish kasi di ba parang matte/dull finish ang mags natin? Can anyone give suggestions kung paano matatanggal yung gasgas?

aside from the BLIS and HID, sana sinama rin yon power tilt and telescoping steering wheel (and to be included in the seat memory settings and the easy entry/exit features)

Sir, ang sabi sa akin ng Hancars, lahat ng tinanggal na features ng Explorer Limited ng Ford Philippines para maging sobrang mura siya for its market, nasa mga Explorer na pwedeng ipa-indent order sa kanila. Kasama na rin yung mga nabanggit mong features na nakalimutan kong isama sa post ko.

Yun ang reason bakit kahit sabihin natin mas mahal yung Dodge Durango sa Explorer by 1.376 million pesos, mas sulit kasi kung ano ang features ng Durango Citadel variant sa U.S., yun din ang features ng Durango Citadel variant dito minus the GPS navigation (baka magawan ng paraan if ever). Hindi ko natanong kung kasama na yung 1 year subscription sa Sirius Satellite Radio sa SRP.

Got OEM and aftermarket HID projector setup for the Explorer 2012 (with even better projectors!)

Is that Foresterx's Explorer?

Where's the plate base?

not mine, i don't have my plates yet and haven't retro fitted my headlight. pag balik ko pa papa retro fit ang akin out of the country pa kasi ako.

btw garyq which would you recommend the OEM or aftermarket? i want better output but of course if the OEM is more reliable than aftermarket then i'd rather get that one.

Sorry this may sound stupid but what's the difference between OEM & aftermarket? Wala ako alam sa ganyan From my interpretation, OEM is original Ford and aftermarket is 3rd party brand?
