Keep documentation from the dealer. Make sure your work order states the problems you are having,not just dealer is to install an update. Keep a diary of problems if you can and video record problems if you can. You are not the only one having problems

2.8 is dealer installed only, but all dealer updates are free until January 2012, I believe. There is reference to some sort of customer care program elsewhere on this forum. Ford sent out a letter to a bunch of 11 Edge owners about it. I did not get a letter, but my dealer has been very cooperative.

I have had my 11 Edge for about 8 months and I have had that happen about 4? 5? times. Somebody else reported that on this forums a couple of months ago, too. I haven't had it in quite some time, I know definitely not since I was upgraded to version 2.8

This is something only a geek would understand, but that is me. In computer vision (think of a camera viewing things on an assembly line to view the edge of the item for inspection or for a robot to do something with the object), the edge is determined by an algorithm. One of the most popular and best algorithms for edge detection is the Canny edge detector. I wanted to get CANNY on my plates which relates to the vehicle as well as my background. Canny has other meanings, though, such as shrewd, and I wanted to emphasize the edge detection aspect. Can't spell GEEK without a double E. Anybody get that?

Go to google.com, then click on maps. type in an address and the map of that area will show up. On the right, near the top you will see "print send link" Click on send, then car. Enter the make and model and phone number, then click send. All done. Get in your car, go to sync services, directions , and the voice should ask you if you want to go to the google destination, or something like that.

Has anybody gotten an aftermarket sunroof for an 11 Edge, or do you know if it even possible? I ordered my Edge specifically without the BAMR because of the problems I read about it. I would be very happy with just a standard size powered moonroof like I had on my 05 Escape or wife has on 11 Equinox. If installing one is posible, shoudl I worry about voiding the warranty? Do dealers have preferred sunroof vendors that they recommed that wouldn't void the warranty?

The mileage you are getting on your Edge is near the sticker max, so that is good. As far as the nav commands, I found using sync services navigation a LOT easier. Press sync, say services, then directions. It recognizes numbers and street names MUCH better. You must have a phone paired, though. Also, try sending an address to your car through Google. Than is NICE! Then you "pick it up" through sync services when you get in your car.

And on her rear view camera, if the wheels are turned, the lines on the screen curve to show where you will go if you keep the wheels the same

No, she has an LTZ 6 cylinder. Her rear view camera is also on her Nav screen

I have an 11 Edge SEL. For basically the exact same price, wife just bought an 11 Equinox. She has some features I don't have and I have some she doesn't. She: power lift gate, remote start, sunroof Me, MFT (has a few problems but I still like it better than what Chevy offers), bigger engine ( I believe) , ambient lighting, more room, rear seats lowered electrically/one touch

I have 2.8 and my index speed was OK. I get the same thing when restarting the car: Same song but 1 of playlist. That doesn't bother me at all,as it is in shuffle mode and will get through them all eventually anyway. I am documenting problems and from what the dealer has said, iPods are causing problems. This seems to be the case as I have not had iPod touch connected in a few days and have had no problems. What i may do is connect iPod through audio inputs, not USB so it does not respond to voice commands and does not really use MFT resources like a USB connection

To see what version of Sync/MFT, you need to register at syncmyride.com. Site has been down for the last couple of days, but when you log in, you will see on the right side of the screen what version you have. You can then go to "Updates" to see if there is a new version avaialble, but what they say is not correct, as they do not always keep the notification current.

Does anyone know of a Lemon Lawyer in the St. Louis area or can share anything about Missouri's Lemon Law? Does anyone have any experience bringing up the topic of MFT with a Lemon lawyer?

It is a software update that you have to go to the dealer for. I don't know what it is called and honestly I don't care, I just want it fixed. Service guy at dealer emailed me and told me it was available

The fix is available for Sync not working by saying the Sirius channel name. Also, my dealer got me a new module sent next day.

The issue with the back windows has happened to me with several SUVs so I don't see this as a problem, it's just physics

I did the Sirius update and it worked for a week. Now I can't say the name of the channel. I can say the number or touch the preset and it is OK. Here is the resolution, which is to say there is no resolution yet: OASIS SPECIAL SERVICE MESSAGE NUMBER: 21871 MESSAGE TITLE: 2011 EDGE/MKX, EXPLORER, AND 2012 FOCUS MYTOUCH EQUIPPED VEHICLES - USING VOICE COMMANDS FOR SIRIUS CHANNELS ON OR AFTER 5/5/2011 APPLICABLE VEHICLES : 2011 TRUCK : 00176 EDGE 2011 TRUCK : 00134 EXPLORER 4DR 2011 TRUCK : 00177 MKX 2012 CAR : 00122 FOCUS OASIS MESSAGE : SOME 2011 EDGE/MKX, EXPLORER AND 2012 FOCUS VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MYFORD TOUCH OR MYLINCOLN TOUCH MAY EXHIBIT INCORRECT SIRIUS CHANNEL SELECTIONS USING VOICE COMMANDS AFTER SIRIUS CHANNEL UPDATES ON OR AFTER 5/5/2011.

It's only saying the name of the station, not the number, and the presets still work. I heard from the dealer. It is happening on a "number" of Edge's, MKX and Explorers. Ford will be coming out with another update to address this problem

A little background first, maybe this should be in the 2.8 topic? About 2 weeks ago I got the 2.8 update after various intermittent problems. After the update, intermittently my blackberry would not connect, or display said connected but when I tried to make a call voice said trying to connect to previously paired phone. I also did the Sirius channel update last week and that went fine. Took it back for the phone problem, dealer replaced the module and reloaded 2.8. Now, the only problem I seem to have which I never had before is that when I say a Sirius station NAME, such as Classic Vinyl, Elvis etc. it takes me to the wrong station. I can touch those pre-sets, directly enter or say the channel number and all is OK, it is just when I say the station NAME, and it happens. This happens with almost all station names. I tried re-doing the Sirius update four times, including calling Sirius, explaining the problem and them initiating the update signal. I recall that when I did the Sirius thing last week I got a message on the display that update was complete. I never got that message in the four tries yesterday, although th elady from Sirius said I may not see a message. Any ideas? Anybody? Anybody?

I don't think you have it. I have an SEL with MFT, but not the upgraded sound system, which I beleive is Sony, and I don't appear to have HD. I think you have to order it. check your sticker or check out options at the Fordvehicles site

Do you know Sirius and XM updated their channels the other day so they match each other? The system had to do an update, did yours seem to "take"? There should have been messages on the screen. My 2.8 seems better than 2.4. I've had it for about 10 days. In the first couple of days it dropped my connection to my phone and I had a heck of a time reconnecting-had to re-pair, but since then no problems with any part of th eMFT.

(Only present with BH – CIP level software)

I would check on free scheduled maintenance, as that may only be able to be done at a Lincoln dealer. On the sync/touch issues, I placed a digital camera that does movies on a "sticky pad" at the back of the center console so the view is of the main screen. Before I start the car I start recording. If no problems are recorded on the capacity of the SD card, I just delete. If there are problems, I transfer to PC with a filename that describes the problem also with a time, if possible. I also narrate when there is a problem. In the narration I start off with date and time, and also have the radio on so date and time could also be confirmed. I let service dept. know of problems and videos, will take it in for 2.7 update. Not a lot of problems and they are intermittent, but they are annoying and I want them fixed. In my state, Lemon law includes them trying to fix the same problem 4 times within one year. I count needing 2.4 and 2.7 as two of those, as I got them because system was not functioning properly. If I still have problems after 2.7 I will take it back immediately and tell them they are up to 3 tries. I got MFT because it allowed me to get nav, but I have a lot more confidence in basic sync. and I can get a cheap nav unit for a lot less than MFT and 795 for nav. I love everything else about my Edge

About a week/10 days ago ago I was going to get the 2.7 update but the day I selected dealer told me sync site would be down and he couldn't do it . He later contacted me and told me the date was moved back, which I guess is now this weekend. I think a weekend is fine as a lot of dealer service depts are not open on Sat and no dealers here are open on sundays
