Update: got the 10B20 update today. First time, dealer flashed the wrong file -- lost my Nav. Brought it back, they apologized, flashed the proper file this time. Don't see any difference, nothing seems to behave any better/worse or faster/slower, features seem the same....

Ok, see... THIS is why I'm not jumping on the updates! (and I'm the kind of guy who usually updates everything immediately) Sync/Touch = great idea, terrible execution. I love having it, but I'd complain a lot less if it actually worked like it was supposed to. Who wants to wait a minute for their car to decide to play the next mp3 track? Or wait 30 seconds to turn on the seat heat? (My butt is cold now!)

In fairness to the consumer - the stuff that isn't working ought to have been working the day I bought the car!! But seriously, I'll get the update. It's not fear keeping me back - it's distrust. I don't want to wait at a dealership. I don't want to have to go back after they mess something up. Ok, I'm cynical -- but there's plenty of history to back it up.....

(fingers crossed for a magical update that fixes all the Sync nuisances)

Yeah, we don't have a Jukebox feature. I decided not to order it, based on the fact that this guy obviously doesn't know anything about my '11 Edge.

I haven't tried Verizon, but I know it won't work with my AT&T USB card. So far, the only success I've heard of is using Bluetooth to get the car connected to the internet - then it sounds like the car's wifi hotspot functionality works....

I get the SAME thing on my 2011 AWD Edge - at lower speeds, if I let off on the gas a bit, coast for a sec, and then hit the gas again, I get a loud THUNK as it kicks me into gear. (I'm not even flooring it) Guess I'll check with the dealer and see if there's a known issue on the 2011's

I get the "Performing scheduled system maintenance" screen at least once or twice a week... it used to really piss me off, but I just ignore it now. Sigh. I got the letter about the Sync update, but I'm still not sure if I want to do it, after reading about some people's experiences with it.... Just wish Ford would get it right!

That's cool.... I'm trying to use a USB data card though (since I have one from work) -- I don't have a data plan on my iPhone.

I can't even get THAT to work....

I just e-mailed Brett at Coastal, and he says this: "Great News! The Sync 2011 Edge factory Ford radio with the internal hard drive and "Jukebox" mode is completely compatible with the Coastal Electronics Sync LockPick. This LockPick offers features such as NAV in motion, video in motion, and camera on demand (if equipped) which allows full camera viewing in any gear!" It seems like they say it will work, and I'm thinking about ordering it, but I'm still talking to him to make sure this is fully compatible with the 2011 Edge Limited.

Pics??

Oooohh, THAT explains it! Thanks for the info -- this was really bugging me too.

In park, I even get an address... but I can't access anything on the device. It's like I joined a private network that has no internet access. Wireless client has an IP and a default gateway assigned from the Ford Edge, but that's about it! Let me know what you find...

Hahaha, yeah, I knew somebody would point that out. I'm due for a wash, but its been raining here.... Oh, and yeah -- paint chips in the brochure + ford website did NOT do this color justice.... I wanted Tuxedo Black, but when I saw this one on the lot I changed my mind!
