  1. Got 2.8 installed and it is a little snappier and my Bluetooth connectivity seems improved BUT... Backup camera does not work-- it acts like I don't have one at all Sync services seems non existent. Menu > Settings > Vehicle has only two options... I'm not sure what all was there but I have no way to get to ambient lighting. Seat heaters are missing under temp control. These are what I have noticed so far. I guess the service tech didn't do must testing afterward. I'll have to call them tomorrow.
  2. Wow that is very interesting because I have a 2011 AWD Limited and thought it did extremely well in the snow. My last two vehicles were a 2007 4x4 Nissan Armada and before that, a 2001 4x4 Nissan Xterra both of which had all terrain tires. My development has a very steep 1/4 mile grade that I figure is at least 15% and then it comes to our driveway which is even steeper up about 200ft to our house. As far as traction goes, the ford amazed me with how well it did in the snow. Now granted, clearance is not what I'm used to but 3-4 inches is no problem. Mine has the 20" rims if that makes a difference. -TK
  3. 39 here and i can relate to everything in this thread. What i don't get about the younger generation (cant believe im saying that) is how they get by without ever knowing about some things. It surprises me constantly when mid twenty somethings at work are like ummm no, sorry don't know who or what that is. U2 or knight rider, the three stooges or ghost busters... I'm like, really?? You have no idea? I mean I wasn't sitting around watching howdy doody on the family room carpet... But I know who he is. Wasnt alive for WWII but most of us know at least a little bit about it.
  4. Which remote start is this? I really want to add a remote start to my AWD Limited 2011 and just have no idea what to go with.
  5. Are you guys pulling the fuse 29 down by the driver's left leg or the one in the engine bay next to the battery? Looks like there are two.
  6. I agree. Maybe Ford is trying to stablize things before they release it?
  7. Can the remote start package be added after I already bought the car? If so, how much approx will it be? I have a 2011 Limited AWD. EDIT: I'm referring to the push start.
  8. It's fine.. I'm sure you will love it. Look, I'm a tech guy as well, so I know all too well the pitfalls of early adoption. I have a 2011 Limited AWD and all I can say is this car is bad ass. It is very, VERY nice inside and it drives great. I admit that the display is a little hard to press and I'd like it to be more responsive but there are no cars that have this tech. Bluetooth (for me) works 95% of the time. It's pretty amazing really. I hope and expect updates will improve the myford touch and meanwhile I'm gonna enjoy the hell outta this car--it's pretty rediculous honestly. -TK
  9. haha touche' fellas. Well, I rarely leave my car intentionally unlocked so for me, having the car lock the doors 2 minutes after I'm parked would be a good thing. This would be configurable obviously.
  10. Man I feel bad for you guys. I've had my 2011 Edge Limited for about two weeks now and haven't pulled the fuse once. I have seen the maintenance screen one time and it just kind of fixed itself after a few minutes. The interface definitely could be a lot faster and responsive, that much I certainly agree with. Hopefully it will improve with updates. As for the bluetooth connectivity, I've only had to repair my iPhone 4 with it once or twice and that part seems to be working great. Is there a chance some of the people with major problems have software that is not up to date, otherwise what could the difference be?
  11. I know the Edge can auto lock the doors once your speed reaches 12mph, but I'm wondering if there is a feature that automatically locks the doors if you forget after leaving the vehicle parked. Thanks!
  12. Very sorry to hear this man... that just plain sucks. I just got an 2011 last week and like you, I'm trying my best to keep it as nice as possible. The only words of encouragement I can offer is that it will hopefully be as good as new relatively soon. Try to get that interior cleaned and vaccumed really good so no damage is done inside. Good luck!
  13. A version of the mustang and the edge share the same motor?
  14. Just wanted to chime in here and say that I've had a 2011 Edge Limited for a week now and it pairs up with my iPhone 4 flawlessly. I get in the car and it auto connects quickly and makes and receives calls no problem. iPod songs and podcasts play over bluetooth perfectly. The only thing I'd like to see improved is that song name info and albumn art do not appear over bluetooth. When I plug the phone in usb they show up fine. EDIT: I'm coming from a 2006 Nissan Armada and all I can say is this car is simply amazing. -Tom
