On the 2011 Edge the antenna is in the rear drivers side quarterpanel, behind the cargo area wall. It is plugged into the TPM (tire pressure monitor) module.

I didn't get from your post that they were trying to hide the problem. It appeared they did not want to start a public spat with apple since they still need to work with them. I have no doubt apple is causing some trouble with their obsessive desire to overcontrol their products. They are working together, perhaps even later this year an Apple authentication chip will be installed in the sync system to allow the iPhone interface to be displayed on the touch screen. I believe you are overreacting by saying they were being deceptive. They even delayed the start of production for over a month working on this system. They reached a point where it was good enough to allow production while they continue to work on improvements. I like the system even with it's bugs and I look forward to it being even better when they release updates and new apps.

I've noticed this same skipping with my iphone 3GS, v4.1 software. I also have some of my library loaded on a USB stick and that does not appear to have the skipping issue.

I know it does because it will switch to the tach screen and show the gear number. When you switch back to Drive however its will not change the display back. I found that a little bit annoying so I know that is what happens.

1. Yes, with some exceptions. The Select Shift system will not let you do something stupid like overrev the engine or stall it. If your downshift will overrev it will blink and keep you in the current gear. Also if your upshift is too many gears for the speed it will also blink and keep you in the same gear (for example going 5 mph it will only let you shift from 1-2, if you try 3 it will stop you.) 2. Yes you can shift between M and D as you see fit. You have to push the shift lock button to go from D to M. From M to D you just push the knob back to D. The MyFord Display will switch to a tachometer reading with the gear number indicated if you don't already have a tachometer displayed. In this case it will not go back to your previous display when you go to D. If you already have a tachometer in the display it will add the gear number in red to the display.

Mine says "Performing System Maintenance" when I pull the fuse. I have had to pull the fuse for the following so far: - USB ports stop working 3-4 times (fixed this by upgrading iPhone OS to v4.1) - GPS fails to find location - Sync Services turn by turn 1 time - Sync Service turn by turn download fails repeatedly 2 times I have seen the system reboot itself once but I think it just froze up and rebooted. It would really be nice if they gave us a reboot button in an update while they work on the bugs.

This seems pretty simple. Interesting in that it shows how far into little details the new myford architecture can be programmed. This is for the lock on the hatch being programmed not to lock.

I've had that happen several times to me as well, I gets where it will keep running up and when I try to stop it it will eventually go the other direction. I'm not sure if it is the button or a delayed reaction / hang up with the MyTouch computer. I also had it happen while I was showing someone the car, lol.

You will not be able to get navigation to work by purchasing the navigation card, especially from ebay. Software for the MyTouch system has to be loaded by Ford to enable the navigation. Plus there are security measures on the nav card if it is a copy and not an original Ford card it will not even work on a car which has the nav enabled.

I copied some of my iTunes library onto a USB stick and it works well. There are some little quirks like it insisting on alphabetizing songs in an album, etc.

I did upgrade my iOS to version 4.1 yesterday. It appears to have fixed my problems with killing the USB ports when plugging in my iPhone.

Maybe it is a setting tied to the key and it defaults to blue until it determines which key is being used.

It is not possible right now. But if/when an upgrade kit is released it will require a dealer installation to enable the system.

This problem is related to Apple iOS 4. It is not unique to the new my touch. Supposedly the recently released ios 4.1 has a fix for the USB disable issue. I have not yet tested it since I always have a hard time loading updates om my 3GS.

Related to this topic is it a good idea to do the first oil change early following the break in period?
