I just wrote syncmyride a mail asking for an other way to get updates. Let's see what they will tell me. I don't understand how you get the updates: a.) create an account. Download a file on a USB stick and plug it in the Edge or b.) directly "automatically" via cellphone when you're in the car? If it's a) a "fake" US number could solve my problem. If it's b.) it won't since the update is download volume (some kb or mb) and needs to be paid (or is paid with your cellphone contract)

any other way? I exported my edge to Switzerland...no syncmyride working here since it demands an US cellphone number....

Hello Does anyone know if there are updates available for the touch screen system? If so where can I get that from? Is there a download page at Ford somewhere? Load it on a stick, plug it in the Edge..and done...at least my expectation. Thanx

Music streaming works fine in my Edge 2011. You can also 'forward' and 'back' through the selected playlist on the iPhone....changing playlist is only possible from the Iphone (or at least I've not found out how) Text Message is not supported

Hi everyone I've a bit of an odd question. I'm not much into cars. I just bought my Edge 2011for the style (and yes ok..307hp, 22" wheels and exclusiveness a bit too). But basically really bought it and took all the hazard to ship it all the way to Switzerland because I just like that car (not on sale here: Europe you go with the Ford Kuga which does not make my heart beat at all). Anyhow went to work with it. Workmates all think it's really cool (after telling them for months I ordered a car in the States) and then came the question I couldn't answer…so you might help me out. In which "league" is a the Ford Edge playing? In numbers: Bought the Edge in the US for 40'000 Now for Switzerland that's a really nice price in my opinion despite of all my follow-up cost like shipping, clearance, modification... I checked the internet to give you an idea with other cars (some) I had in mind to buy directly in Switzerland since they are here on sale too - unlike the Edge: Audi Q5 Cheapest model in Switzerland 61'800 CHF (=66'000 USD) Cheapest model in US 35'200 USD Audi Q7 Cheapest model in Switzerland 82'700 CHF (=89'000 USD) Cheapest model in US 46'250 USD Volvo XC60 Cheapest model in Switzerland 65'900 CHF (=58'000 USD) Cheapest model in US 32'400 USD Nissan Murano Cheapest model in Switzerland 62'200 CHF (=66'900 USD) Cheapest model in US 28'520 USD BMW X5 Cheapest model in Switzerland 84'900 CHF (=91'400USD) Cheapest model in US 46'300 USD So roughly said all cars cost 2x more than in the States ("buying power" is that ugly world - or why reimport pays out). Assuming that fact "2x" multiplier goes with Edge as well it would cost like 80'000 USD here….. So is the Ford Edge 2011 really in competition with an Q5 or XC60 since the play in the same price range in the States? Or which cars would you group with the Edge?

After I saw the Edge first time in Dubai some years ago and last year in the US again I always knew I wanted to have that car too... Finally end last year $ dropped below 1 CHF so I decided to finally order it: Edge Sport 2011 black. Had to wait four month but finally got it last week fresh from factory, shipped, cleared and alternated (even no clue what they changed). I think the car is quite an eye-catcher anyhow - but here it's almost unique. Only saw one Edge ever on the roads in like 2 years. Normally not so emotional about cars..but loving my Edge
