Sorry about the confusion I was trying to keep my post as short as possible.
"1st question: where is the register tab, button, etc?"
When I went here http://syncmyride.com/#/home/ to register for " Sync My Ride" I couldn't find a place to register.
"2nd question: after stumbling around for a while I found it"
I finally was able to register by going to the "OWNER RESOURSES" tab here http://syncmyride.com/Own/Modules/SupportC...upportHome.aspx then down in the very bottom right corner I clicked on "site map" which took me here http://syncmyride.com/Own/Modules/PageTool...eMap.aspx?lid=1. Which has a REGISTRATION button.
"then discovered that by registering my email address at other Ford/sync (here ?) sites I could use that login."
"That didn't work either?"
When I tried to use my normal MKX email "oilfield038-mkx@yahoo.com" I received a message that this email was already registered (it is, I use at here and another Ford site) and I could use it with my regular password to access "Sync My Ride" but it wouldn't take my password, so I registered with this email oilfield038-mkx2@yahoo.com.
Hope this is a little easier to understand
Thanks for your help :yup:
