It might be available for 2015... I saw an Fsport this weekend with the park assist sensors - didn't look aftermarket to me.

I have all the mp3 tags correctly labeled showing the track number etc. But when you play a folder, it never plays in the correct order. It starts with track 1, then track 10, then 2, then 20 etc.. It's ignoring the track number altogether and trying to do it by name. For example I have it like this: Is there any fix? Really frustrated with the lack of audio fixes with many problems that ruin the travel with music.

1. Firsttrackname
2. Secondtrackname
etc
On Windows, it will look ok because the OS is made to sort it. However, it seems that most car radios do not use the standard way of sorting. Quote from a tech site: "Sometimes, no matter how you configure your MP3 or media player, it simply refuses to play songs and albums in alphabetical order. Some flash card-based MP3 players and car stereo systems play tracks in the order in which they are stored on the device."

So to bypass that problem, you need this little tool that I use with my 64GB usb key. It's called DriveSort and allows you to sort however you want. Even sort your files in a "playlist mode" so you can play your favorite tracks and what not, first. Other tools with the same purpose also exist but that's the one I use.

Crack the rt rear window. That will get rid of most of the buffeting.

It hasn't yet beeped and I don't know if that's because I haven't come close enough yet or it just doesn't beep at all.
Mine is a '14 that has BSM. And whenever I parallel park and backup next to the curb, it will beep. Sometimes, there's a car behind me, and sometimes there isn't and it's just the curb. I have noticed that it will beep if it detects inanimate objects are too close. It's even beeped when it senses a pole behind me.

Does your car have parking sensors? Mine never beeps for anything except cars and sometimes pedestrians.

The remote start app is pretty cool. But does anyone know how to get it to keep the car running as you approach? The car shuts off when I go to open the driver door. =/
