Shaky

My wife is having the same problem with her 2011 Edge Limited, purchased Dec 2010. The MFT is very temperamental. One month its not bad and others its horrible. Took it to the dealer (8 months since the last update) thinking there's a new update. He said all he could do at this time was to do a system reset as the new update is coming out Jan 2012. The reset helped but I'll be first in line for the update in Jan. Have you noticed that ford isn't running all those commercials claiming their vehicles are so technologically advanced anymore?

Nope, just copied and pasted off the syncmyride site??

just updated at the dealer within the last hour. Syncmyride indicated that the second generation version needed to be done by the dealer and below that indicated another update that I could have done via USB. This is what is shown on the syncmyride page after the update by the dealer.

No, I thought I've read other threads of earlier vehicles having the system.......with "O" problems. I'm not sure what options were available on these systems, but I think Ford has tried to add features which were not previously available.

I don't know about others, but I've had mine since the beginning of Nov. 2010. I had one issue with screen freezing one evening, but system reset on its own after I reached my destination. I'm not a technical person so I don't use the USB, or bluetooth music from another device, and I don't care whether or not a persons picture appears when I receive a call over the vehicles bluetooth. I bought it for the looks, drive and quality of finish...as well as for the price and have not been disappointed at all. Be confident that the tech issues will ultimately be resolved.

Yes, I am :happy feet:

Just read the article today. I agree with you as well hockey 87. As for your comment richy.....negative press seems to get more peoples attention.

Yep, seen them. I'm afraid that if you flashed your lights at these people, they'd panic and drive off the road. Some people have no clue

I've had my 2011 Ltd. for about a month. I have the HID lights....but they don't come on in daylight. My daytime driving lights are only the orange parking lights. They are VERY bright and I think their great. Saves the bulb life of the HID's

Just wondering whether or not sboots88 picture is really the "thing" that resides in all of the Fords with MFT issues. :ph34r: LOL

I talked to my dealer about this "special cable" that is required. He said "special" ?......we just went up the street and bought one from the local computer store.

Lots of help to be had. Before asking a question, check out the "forum" topics and target 2011 Edge. There's a good chance that someone has already asked the question and your answer could already be posted. Good Luck!!

Don't know about the US, but there was no secret in my local Canadian dealership. There were signs on all the cars indicating that costco members could save an extra 1000.00. There were Ford vehicles parked outside my Costco store with stickers on them advertising the savings. Call your dealer and mention this promo offer. They will tell you whether or not they are still running this.

I have not been able to ascertain a weight number either. I opted for the factory installed rails but did not purchase the cross bars which are available at the parts counter. They mount on pre drilled holes in the rail and they didn't look like they could handle the weight of my ski box that is the size of a casket !!!!. (I used to mount the box on my Chevy Suburban). I talked to a guy at "Rack Attack" and asked him if he had ever heard of anyone ripping the factory rails off any manufacturers roof. He said no, and he's pushed the limits on his own vehicles many times. I purchased the Thule aerobars that clamp onto the factory rails and when installed with my ski bin... this thing is SOLID AS A ROCK. When my bin is loaded....it's at least 120 lbs and I'm not worried a bit. Good luck with whatever you decide

Costco thing only gets your 1000.00 off. Period. There is no special price for a Costco Member.
