Look here: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/6567-ambient-lighting-fix/ , took me a while to find it too. Fix works.

I also did this fix today. Fixes the switch of the blue and green and also corrects the color on the 4 corners on the 8" screen.

To me the new Explorer is just a bigger version of the new Edge with some new updates such as electric power steering. The dash is almost identical on the 2. I have seen both of them is person and like both of them. To me the decision would come down to what size vehicle you want. I like the smaller size of the Edge and the slightly better fuel mileage. The Explorer has a third seat which I don't need. Go to a dealer that has both of them and test drive and look them over. That is what I did when I bought my Edge, we were looking at the Taurus until we saw the new 2011 Edge and drove both and ended up with the Edge. The new Explorer is hot right now, the dealer where I got my Edge told me when I was in for service last week that they are selling them almost as fast as they can get them.

Had a new update show up today: BT4T-14D546-EB Version 1.1 GEN II INTERROGATOR Installed it just for the heck of it, don't have a clue what it does. Maybe this replaces the previous program for reporting what items are installed!

They claim they did a 4 wheel alignment the first time :angry: But who knows! I could not tell any difference after the first time they supposedly did an alignment. But as you said, it is now fixed, I just wish I knew what they did. Asking the service advisor is a waste of time as he is more BS then anything and condescending in his attitude. The Service Manager is too busy to talk to you most of the time and will not return phone calls. I made up my mine after this I will try another dealer and see if their attitude is any better. Will go back to the original dealer for electronic work as the Tech that does their work appears to be pretty good and up on the latest technology.

Update: Took it back it in and they had it on the alignment machine for over 2 hours. Never got a straight answer about what they did, but it is fixed. I no longer have a pull and the Edge steers and drives better then it ever has. The only compliant I have is that I had to be a major pain in the ass to the the Service Advisor and Service Manager to get them to do anything. They kept trying to tell me that everything was within specifications and there was nothing they could do. I kept after it and fortunately the day I took it in for something else there was a Ford Engineer there and she drove it. I was going to escalate it to Ford if they did not want to do anything. The pull was very noticeable and I had to keep a steady pressure to the left of the steering wheel independent of the slope of the road. Now the Edge will track straight and will drift slowly in the direction of slope of the road like most vehicles do. Hopefully the detail service order they send out will have some more information about what they did. I had previously swapped the front tires without any improvement and I can tell that they did not rotate the tires front to back so they had to change something on the front end I just don't know what. For some reason this dealer seems to think that letting the customer know what they do would be revealing a trade secret.

When the update is successful it is an improvement. However, when it goes bad it will make the system inoperable (from personal experience). There were lots of problems when the updates started, but lately there has been mostly successful upgrades. It took 2 tries before they got mine updated. Make sure your dealer has done updates besides yours, you don't want to be the first, as I was. Also check the Nav system (if equipped) before you leave and make sure it works.

We all don't have this problem. I do not have this noise so it may be a assembly problem. I hate it when a dealer tries to tell me they all do something, that maybe true but that doesn't mean it is not a problem.

All fixed up now. Replacing the antenna module cured the AM reception and even helped the FM.

I have the Ambient Light issue but not the Lincoln Logo issue. The dealer installed the BD update and I downloaded and installed the BE update during the short period it was available online. I really would like to know the differences in the suffixes and what is the latest versions. Everything is working correctly except for the blue and green switch on the Ambient light.

I have both the BD and BE updates, see the Sync history below.

I had the same problem after my update, I had no Nav or info system (the little i by the Home symbol), I caught it while the tech was still there. He thought he was through but I had learned of several things to check before he finished and brought it to his attention. He had to contact Ford and they walked him through the procedure for activating the Nav system and the Sirius info system. Tell the dealer to have the tech call Ford support and they can tell him what to do. I saw the tech using a USB flash drive to load something on the system to get it to work. It can be done but the Tech will have to contact Ford Support for info on what to do, the tech told me that whoever he was talking to at Ford said he was having to help the techs at dealers several times a day with this problem, so if your dealer can get to the right person at Ford they should be able to tell them have to fix your problem. The SD card should have come with the vehicle. I had to ask the salesman where mine was when I picked up the Edge, he had to go fine it, took him about to 15 minutes to locate it.

Tech says the antenna module located behind the overhead console is bad. Of course, the part is not in stock and had to be ordered. Will go back in tomorrow to have it replaced. Sure hope he is right.

The update will fix the nightlight problem.

Search "engine noise" on this forum and you will find many posts on this subject.

One of the things I had really liked on my 2011 Edge Limited was the AM radio reception. On a trip this weekend to the Texas panhandle tuned in to a Dallas AM station about 300 miles away and get good reception all the way there and while I was there for several days. Start home today tuned to the same station and the reception just goes away all at once. Thinking that it is just the station I try to tune in another AM station and no luck. FM works and all other features of the Audio system appear to work. Later discover that I can get AM reception only when I am close to a strong AM station, going through a town where I know there is a station I can tune it in for about a 10 mile radius, the reception has static but it is there. So I know at least part of the AM radio works but not very well. It is as if the AM antenna is not there, FM works fine. Will let the dealer figure out the problem next week, beginning to wish I had bought a KIA :wacko: .

As a long time Ford owner and buyer of Ford Parts there is no way Ford (in my opinion) will sell this option (if they ever decide to) for $795 or $895. It will be more like $1100 to $1300 if you are lucky. If you can find a dealer that will discount it you might get it for $1000. Like I said this my opinion, but it is based on many years of dealing with the Ford parts system.

Not an error, I also have DA and BG copy and pasted from site: Confirmed Installations SYNC Version SYNC GEN 2 BT4T-14D546-AD BT4T-14D546-AG BT4T-14D546-DA BT4T-14F496-AD BT4T-14F496-AG BT4T-14F496-BG BT4T-14F497-AD BT4T-14F497-AG SYNC compatible software BT4T-14F500-AD BT4T-14F603-AD BT4T-14F603-AG and there are 2 screens that show confirmed installations and show then slightly different, here is the other screen Sync Version SYNC GEN 2 Confirmed installations BT4T-14D546-AD BT4T-14D546-AG BT4T-14D546-DA BT4T-14F496-AD BT4T-14F496-AG BT4T-14F496-BG BT4T-14F497-AD BT4T-14F497-AG SYNC compatible software BT4T-14F603-AD BT4T-14F603-AG Waiting to download 0 items.

When did you purchase your Limited. The Ford Build and Price will not currently allow me to select the Adaptive Cruise without the 302A package. It was also that way in October 2010 when I was looking at options. I wanted one without the Vista roof and could not figure out how to get one with all the options I wanted without the roof option.

How long are you waiting? Mine goes off when the exterior lights go off, around 20 seconds after I close the door? This is after the latest upgrades, BD and BE!

There are some of us old farts around that are not still using typewriters :yup: . Thiis system is not for any non-tech person of any age. I can see a non tech person young or old becoming very frustrated with this system very quickly The latest upgrades have really improved the system, and so far as I can tell everything but the ambient color swap appears to be working correctly.

Yes, but it is not the best and I was using the puller when I dropped mine. The low profile mini fuses are harder to handle then the regular, especially in the position you have to be to get to the fuses :wacko:

I had a similar experience when they did my update, the tech did not have the Nav system working after the initial upgrade, also make sure the Sirius info system (i next to the home symbol) is also working. Neither were working when he thought he had completed the update. Fortunately I caught them both before the tech left and they got it working the same day. It did take him longer to get the two working then it did for him to do the initial update.

Are you able to download the BE update. A user on another Forum who did not have the BD update installed could not download the BE update. I have had the BD update and was able to download the update. I downloaded and installed the BE update last night without any problems. Do not know yet what it fixes but the installation screen showed it to be a service pack. It is a fairly large upgrade (about 250MB) and takes close to 20 minutes. If you do the BE update be patient as it will appear as if nothing is happening, the system does a complete reboot at least twice, the screen will go black and takes a while to reappear.
