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??
-
I just finished the install of the 200 series and took pictures of the whole process. I will post a complete DIY later today.
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

I wouldn't give up my edge for anything I'm quite happy with it. in fact were so happy with our edge and my ford touch that we just purchased a 2011 ford explorer for my wife.
after receiving the car I set "my temp" and left it alone never touched it again. Best of all, I just say my temp on and it's all set up.
I've never had a wind noise inside the car only quiet.
and as far as my transmission goes I can't believe how smooth this thing shifts.
my advice? Go buy a toyota venza
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!
-
Oh, man, that looks amazing!! I bet next MY will have an edition with 22" wheels.
So I have to ask.... how much did the sport wheels and tires set you back! Looks GREAT!

My Edge got updated at the dealer. No official instruction from Ford Head Office but they managed to update the whole Sync system.
Result: Awesome. Now everything is working as it should. Buetooth pairing is now working. GPS is announcing mileage in KM and not in Miles. French translation much better...
I'm now a satisfied customer. I live in Montreal, Canada.
Ditto....almost two weeks now for me since the update, and I am loving my ride once again! I knew things would get resolved!

My only issue is the night light which I really don't care about. I can't be bothered to make a special trip just to address that.
Make sure you put the AWD display on when you're driving in the snow..it's fascinating to watch!
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!

Day 3, 4, and 5
ISSUES TO REPORT: NONE
HAPPINESS FACTOR: EXTREMELY
I really do enjoy driving this vehicle!
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!
-
Yes, it worked just like you said. Thanks. These owner forums are so valuable.
FYI - The above update fixed my night light....and every other quirk I had with the system. 5 days and 0.0 issues.

Brian your remote start works as before? One click of "lock" plus 2 clicks of "remote start button"? After the update I need to click the lock door button twice making the horn beep. Plus the ambient is off by the 2 colors. Additionally my radio power gets turned off at times when starting the car. Nothing I can't live with however BUT you think they would get it right. Hopefully anyway
Still loving my ride
Happy Holidays everyone

Good stuff, that's positive news Brian!! You've certainly been a trooper while your Edge has been in the shop for almost 3 weeks, kudos to you!
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.

Hopefully they fix it right for you. Lemon Laws are a PITA (trust me, I had to do it to my previous Chrysler.. lawyers, time, stress.... ugh)
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!

Sorry, wish I could help more. Heavy rains and 13C (55F) is the weather tomorrow, so our winter really hasn't started yet. Not that I'm complaining though.
Wow, now that is mild!! You can have this cold air back anytime!! It's like 10F (-11C) here!
-
Sorry to hear about that, it has to be the tires. I'm sure you've heard on the news last week, we had our thruway shut down and I persoanlly got 4' of snow. I couldn't be happier with the way the FWD Edge handled it all. Kudos to Ford again.
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

This is absolutely a lemon law situation. I actually went through it with a different vehicle a few years back and it was quite simple.
Usually its based on the car being out of service X amount of time or a reoccurring issue that they cant fix which could pose
a safety issue.
Ford better move quickly or have a more open dialog before they have a big issue on their hands with
what they consider one of the lines biggest selling points.
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!
Major Upgrade (Rewrite) Details
in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC

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!
