Lets here everyone with the successful installations or problems mine took about 45 mins and couldn't be happier with the new system

Recieved the upgrade package in the mail yesterday. It took about an hour to install. System seems much better, but its only been one day. Most screens look much better with less clutter. Phone connects more quickly. One thing I noticed on the map, its that the colored lines for traffic are thinner than before which makes it harder to read. I also wish they would make the temp and clock on right instrument cluster screen easier to read. The font is small and the grey color doesn't have enough contrast. Clock on the center screen is much easier to read.

I also have a MKX. I saw how the cargo cover fit at the dealership and thought it was laughable.

 

Since I have a black interior I went to Target and bought a cheap $20 black microfiber throw blanket. It works great, looks good even when the hatch is open, fits under the cargo lid next to the spare tire when I'm not using it, and I can throw it in the washing machine when it gets dirty.

I did the same thing. I took the cover out and left it in my garage. I now carry a black blanket in the back to cover anything back there.

Updated from 2.4 to 2.11. No issues with the update which took less than an hour. When I went to confirm my installation on the Sync site and I received an error message as some people here have noted. Then I saw that my flash drive wasn't mapped (not sure why it couldn't find it again since the download went fine). Rebooted and tried again and success. I found 2.4 to be somewhat stable for me. Hopefully 2.11 is better or at the least not worse.

My upgrade to 2.11 also took about 40 minutes. It's been a couple of weeks now since the upgrade. MFT is much more stable, no crashes or lock ups so for. Phone pairing is quicker and more reliable than it was before. I have yet to experience pairing issues with 2.11. With 2.4, I had pairing issues regularly that could only be solved by a master reset.

I heard part of a news story on TV last night that said Ford was recalling 2011 Edge's. Anyone know any details?

I took delivery of my 2011 Edge yesterday, 9/22. I placed the order back on 7/20, so about 8 weeks, just as the dealer promised.

Bourdeax Red, Limited, AWD, Sienna leather interior - I really like this color combination.

Its no sports car, but it does drive very well for a vehicle of this size. I have a lot to learn on the NAV, Synch, and myFordTouch. So far, I really like the vehicle.

My dealer in Walnut Creek, CA called today to let me know my order is now scheduled for the week of Aug. 30. I placed the order back on July 20. He didn't give me a delivery date yet. About how long does it take to build and ship a vehicle to the west coast? A month?

Talked to a dealer out of Lincoln NE and they should have them any day now as they are on the road now. Here is the status he pulled for me of their unclaimed orders. They are looking at a 6-8 week turn time on new orders.

My dealer in Walnut Creek, CA called today to confirm that my order has been scheduled for production the week of Aug. 30. I placed the order on July 20.

The Ford dealer in Walnut Creek, CA told me they expect to get a Sport in first week of August.

I ordered a 2011 Edge Limited on 7/20 and the dealer quoted an 8 week lead time which would put delivery in late September. The dealer also expects to receive their first 2011 in the first week of August (Sport model).
