The slider allows clients to personalize the audio experience by determining how much they want the music to envelop them in a cabin featuring 28 speakers. The addition of the height speakers allows for a 360-degree listening experience, transforming the Aviator cabin into a true concert hall for the road.
The placement, tuning, calibration and the number of Revel speakers are unique to each Lincoln vehicle, designed to ensure superior audio quality and accuracy. In Aviator, new dual 40-millimeter speakers are located above each occupant in the front and second-row seats for a total of eight speakers in the ceiling. They are meticulously integrated with the three-way speakers in the doors and two-way front and rear speakers.
A dual-wall dash system provides an additional barrier and air gap between passengers and the engine compartment, serving as a separation to keep vibrations and noise out of the cabin. There is 360-degree hood sealing as well.
The audio system has been meticulously integrated into the spacious, streamlined cabin, with the team carrying out multiple levels of checking and tuning to make sure it sounds great at different speeds.

Other complaints with the interior include a small trunk opening, small compartments throughout the car (you'd think a huge car would have a huge center console and glove box.. nope) and generally sloppy fit and finish (for example, some of the gaps between panels were uneven) throughout. Also, the front cupholders are almost unusable. They cannot be individually adjusted and make it near impossible to use both at the same time. Adjustable cupholder technology has been present in minivans since the 90's, I'd surely expect it to make its way to a luxury sedan such as the MKS by now. I should give Lincoln some props though; the top dash cover is nicely stitched and not plastic looking as I've come to expect with domestic cars.
But SYNC isn't the only thing about the MKS that makes its technology so powerful. Hidden away under the skin of the car there are 16 speakers, including a 10-inch subwoofer, all powered by a 12 channel amplifiers for a total output of 600 Watts. But it's not all brute force with the MKS sound system - everything is tied into a digital signal processor within the amplifiers that keeps things from getting out of control. The result? A THX II certified car audio system that supports 5.1 surround sound and sounds amazing (unless you've heard a Bang & Olufsen system in a recent Aston Martin or Audi Q7 or A8/S8).
The navigation features of the MKS prove equally impressive, with the exception of one huge annoyance: you can't add a destination or change anything relating to your route until you come to a stop (technically less than 3 mph I believe). I know that is supposed to be a safety feature, but what if you have a passenger in the car handling that stuff for you? Since maps are stored on the integrated hard drive, route calculation is speedy and maps have sufficient detail. When you are nearing your destination, the screen splits vertically to display a close-up map of your exit and final turns. That is quite handy. Also, when the system speaks to you it cuts out other audio sources from using the front speakers so you can hear what it is saying.
Last but not least - the audio features of the MKS. There's the simple radio screen that pulls together station info via RDS. Nothing special here, no HD radio support (although Lincoln has mentioned that it is coming as a factory-installed option in 2009...) or anything of that ilk.
If I may nitpick once again, I was quite disappointed with the audio visualizer. There were absolutely not style settings - just on and off. I would have loved to have it display some interesting visualizations. Also, for a THX-designed system it is shockingly devoid of advanced equalizer settings. It just has bass and treble sliders. For a person like myself that can end up spending 20 minutes at a time fine-tuning an equalizer preset in iTunes, the MKS left me a bit miffed.
Experience unheard-of depth and detail in the Lincoln Aviator.

From Seattle to San Francisco to Chicago to Portland, Maine, debates are raging over inclusionary housing - the requirement that developers reserve a percentage of new residential development as affordable. Some say the policy discourages development, or, in an argument that could reach the Supreme Court, threatens property rights. Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio faces dual criticisms that his inclusionary housing proposal goes too far, or not far enough.

Lincoln offers two trim levels for its large SUV: the Lincoln Navigator and the Lincoln Navigator L. Both feature a 5.4L V8 engine that makes 310 hp and 365 ft-lb of torque--enough to tow up to 9,000 pounds. The engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and rear-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is optional on both models.The Lincoln Navigator has six airbags to protect all passengers, including bags that deploy from the headliner on both sides of the vehicle. The AdvanceTrac stability system has Roll Stability Control to apply the brakes and reduce the engine's power if the wheels start to slip and it controls under- and over-steer to minimize skidding and fishtailing. This system works with Lincoln's Trailer Sway Control to give the driver more confidence in the Lincoln Navigator's handling, even with a couple extra thousand pounds behind the rear bumper.Like many Ford and Lincoln vehicles, the Lincoln Navigator comes with Microsoft's SYNC voice-activated operating system. It works with Bluetooth devices such as cell phones, as well as USB drives and MP3 players. Helpful services such as a Vehicle Health Report and turn-by-turn directions are also available through the SYNC system. Parents of new drivers will appreciate the MyKey feature, which allows the Lincoln Navigator to be programmed with automatic driving restrictions. The top speed can be limited to 80 mph, and chimes can be set to go off as the needle passes 45, 55 or 65 mph. MyKey works with the BeltMinder system in the Lincoln Navigator to keep the audio system from getting any louder than 45 percent of its maximum capability. If anyone decides not to bother buckling up, the BeltMinder alert cannot be disabled and the stereo is muted until everyone clicks in.Standard equipment is very extensive. It includes power-deployed running boards, a rear-view camera, dual-zone climate control, memory seating, THX surround sound, heated and cooled front seats and power-folding third-row bench seat. Options include a dual-headrest DVD system, moonroof, 20-inch wheels and a heavy-duty towing package.
