It's actually The Premium Care 5/75K...I got the paper work today confirming this. A little background...about a month ago the field rep here in St. Louis contacted me about the MFT and asked me my thoughts, impressions, and issues I've had. I spoke up for us all and let him know that this BETA software that was released should have never seen the light of day until it was COMPLETE before TESTING it on all of us...I said I was considering another make and model due to said frustrations....He offered the warranty and I accepted. I was reluctant to post anything until I received OFFICIAL confirmation. I received the paper work and can confirms this. Merry Christmas! Brian

See Link to Autoblog.com for the update we've all been waiting for!! Autoblog

Oh and one more thing! Where did you buy from and what was the price?

OUTSTANDING GUIDE JESTER! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this - I will give it a shot this week or next! So any thoughts on the system thus far??

Did you ever compile your step by step guide? I was going to purchase my remote start this week, but have been on the fence about doing it myself or paying the dealer. Thanks! Brian

Looks like the MFT/Sync is getting more press these days... From AutoBlog.com

Copy that! now that Microsoft updated their software, I am a satisfied customer! My Ford dealer took REALLY good care of me when my Edge was getting the update as well!

So I have to ask.... how much did the sport wheels and tires set you back! Looks GREAT!

FYI http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/30/ford-recalling-nearly-15-000-f-series-and-edge-lincoln-mkx-cross/#continued

Ditto....almost two weeks now for me since the update, and I am loving my ride once again! I knew things would get resolved!

Sadly, I did not opt for the AWD option...It does not snow enough in St. Louis anymore to justify the cost...but I will keep the FWD'ers updated... Two inches of snow so far, the slushy wet snowball making snow. I haven't noticed any slippage trying to navigate up a hill to my home. 3 more inches of snow on the way, will report back later. Have a safe Holiday gang! No wrecked Edges!

This is my final report! Since the software upgrade everything has been working - the only issue is the color selection with the ambient lighting which I have not used since testing. Other wise.... ISSUES: NONE HAPPINESS FACTOR: EXTREMELY If you are experiencing major issues with your MFT/Snyc, you need this upgrade! The main screen night light issue=solved. Popping with Bluetooth audio=solved. System freezing=solved. Rear camera scrolling=solved....and that's about all for me. Snow testing coming up tomorrow! Stay tuned!

FYI - The above update fixed my night light....and every other quirk I had with the system. 5 days and 0.0 issues.

Day 3, 4, and 5 ISSUES TO REPORT: NONE HAPPINESS FACTOR: EXTREMELY I really do enjoy driving this vehicle!

Thanks EW! That's awesome! How did da Edge do??!

Day #2 ISSUES TO REPORT: NONE HAPPINESS FACTOR: EXTREMELY IPHONE4 - Contacts sync, calls work as advertised, and Pandora....ohhhhh Pandora....wow, it works EXCELLENT! No more popping sounds post upgrade!! Further updates to come as needed...For all of you who are is discouraged as I was....hang in there! Once your dealer is actually able to download the needed update from Ford and MFT gets updated you will be fine!!!

I do not have Remote Start I have an SEL with RS202A) No Remote Start... I can tell you that I have not had an issue with the radio powering off like you state...I will continue to monitor...going out to the garage to conduct some iPhone 4 / Sync testing! Will keep all posted!

I knew things would workout...I will keep everyone posted. --- Now what to get for Christmas! LOL 2011 Edge MFT/SYNC issues report: Day #1 Ambient Colors off by one... Everything else: FULLY OPERATIONAL Brian

FINALLY! An actual update! My dealer actually called me today and told me that my vehicle was READY! I went to pick it up - they told me they updated the software and the delay was Ford being able to provide the update to them...anyway, MFT/Sync has been updated, and my initial observations are positive. My Iphone 4 synced right up without a problem, voice calls were made and received. -- I have not tested Pandora. Climate Controls are fully operational. Ambient light is off by one color. Radio controls are fully operational. Backup camera fully operational. White nightlight screen is no more. MFT/Sync seems much more responsive from when I dropped it of 17 days ago. I will provide further updates as I continue to test. Hang tight folks, it's getting better. Did I mention how much I missed My Edge...the Fusion was nice, but The Edge is clearly a cut above. Brian

Copy that! I don't want any more headaches! Just to be able to enjoy the vehicle I paid for and have everything working as advertised is all I ask! No new updates today... Day 16.

Enjoy! http://www.insideline.com/ford/explorer/2011/2011-ford-explorer-limited-4wd-full-test.html http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/13/2011-ford-explorer-first-drive-review-road-test/ http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/10q4/2011_ford_explorer_limited_4wd-road_test http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/suvs/1102_2011_ford_explorer_test/index.html

Wow, now that is mild!! You can have this cold air back anytime!! It's like 10F (-11C) here!

Yo EW! Can you post some pictures of that shit! We got a whole 3" in St. Louie! I want to see what REAL snow looks like!

Almost half the country is covered in some kind of snow and only 4 replies?? Wow...everyone must be staying home! LOL

The real shitter of all of this is.....All I want is a 2011 Ford Edge that everything works in! Hard to believe, but technology aside, I REALLY like it!
