Dumpy

4havnfun, about to go through this with the dealer. How much did they charge you and for which plan term? Thanks in advance

LOL, so you're saying the flasher switch has really been placed there to coherce you into using the voice commands. Better than an electirc shock I guess.

Don't have it yet, but was one of the appeals when ordering, along with illuminated door sills and HID lights - definitely adds style

To follow up, this week the Edge won "Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year: 2011," at the Canadian International Auto Show, beating out all other price ranges as the best utility vehicle http://www.autoevolution.com/news/ford-edge-canadian-utility-of-the-year-31510.html Ford also won Best Tech of 2011 with their Rear Inflatable Seatbelts that are available in the new Explorers My linkhttp://www.autoevolution.com/news/ford-s-rear-inflatable-seat-belt-best-tech-of-2011-31512.html

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW very jelous - Hopefully I'll be able to post a pic soon.

I am glad you brought this up, as I was just wondering about this. I have no vehicle yet but it is currently on rail being delivered. When I check Sync My Ride account under Update & Customize is states: Waiting to download 0 items. Then under Vehicle Health Report it says the following: Vehicle Health Report and 911 Assist™ are not installed on your vehicle. Upgrade now! Now most SYNC owners (except Mustang) can upgrade to include this feature—so you can monitor your vehicle''s health—with a touch of a button or a simple voice command: 911 Assist is available in the United States and Canada only, Vehicle Health Report is available in the United States only. How do I get the upgrade? Is a SYNC upgrade to include 911 Assist and Vehicle Health Report available now? Yes. Owners of all SYNC-equipped vehicles (except Mustang) may upgrade their SYNC to include 911 Assist and Vehicle Health Report. The upgrade is a software installation performed by dealers, and eligible customers are responsible for dealer installation charges, which may vary. To get the upgrade you will need to: Create or log in to your SYNC owner account now. Go to the Update & Customize page. Select the 911 Assist and Vehicle Health Report Upgrade. Print the Request for SYNC Upgrade Form form and bring it to your dealer. Make an appointment with your perferred dealership. Overall, it seems they do not install these features from the factory, so the dealer must install it, possibly for a charge. The fact that your dealer does not have the proper USB cord suggests that they probably have not done an update of any kind, so be weary. I hope this helps.

The date is when the sticker was printed. The build should be about 1 week afterwards. Ordered Date - Dec. 31st, sticker date - Feb. 1st, build date - Feb 8th, on rail - Feb 17th. Currently in transit across the country :hyper:

Do the 2011 Edge factory installed "Illuminated Door Sill Plates" cover all 4 doors or just the front 2?

My Sync is up and running!!! These are the latest updates coming fresh off the line, as reported on syncmyride: Sync Version Gen2 - V2.4 Confirmed installations BT4T-14D546-AG BT4T-14F496-AK BT4T-14F497-AG SYNC compatible software (BT4T-14F500-AE <-Depending on how the syncmyride site is navigated, name is added) BT4T-14F603-AG Waiting to download 0 items.

Windshield coverage it is. Thanks for the replies!

The 2011 Edge's Specs and Options show that the Limited and Sport models comes with "Break Resistant Glass." Alberta uses gravel instead of salt so there are a lot of cracked windshields. I was wondering how the stronger glass is holding up? Overall, should I be getting windshield coverage through insurance???

Play movies out of a USB device - Sweet. I was unaware of this, only thought it was through the RCA.

Sadly, we don't get this in Canada. Ordered 3 brochures in late Jan ( Edge, Escape and Explorer), and 2 of 3 (were already out of Explorer) arrived in about 2 weeks, but without the coupon

Right on, I'll have to check my VIN onthe Sync site tonight!

I do not have my LTD yet, but it will be getting the HIDs. From what I have read so far, the adjustment bolt should have both the Allen and the Philllips. Please reference the link below from akirby, open up to page 73 on the 3rd ed. for light alignment with attention to the HID note. http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdirs/SPubs/default.asp?TYPE=OWNERGUIDE&pageid=oghome&gutsid=spubs_serv_all_new&MARKET_LANG=US-EN&YEAR=2011&VEHICLE=Edge If that all works out, shame on your dealer
