  1. Thanks for all the info. I'll give it a try.
  2. Do you know where this hole is? I didn't see any hole around the gas cap area.
  3. I am having a problem filling up my 2011 Edge with gas. It will only fill the gas tube (about a gallon) and then shut off. I then have to wait about 30 seconds before I can fill another gallon. It takes forever to fill up the car. After some searching on the internet it looks like this could be a block in the fuel vent. Does anyone know where this vent line is so I could try to clear it, or does anyone have any other ideas as to what the problem is? Thanks for any help.
  4. I still have this problem after the update. Maybe it's a bad mic, but I doubt it.
  5. I understand some people may not like it which is why there should be an option. There is no way to browse stations from the touchscreen (except for the useless scan) or steering wheel (except for the hold seek which is such a pain to do that it is actually useless). The only way I have found to actually browse stations is from the touch controls of the volume knob, which is also a pain. When you travel the presets become useless so it is essential that there is an easy way to browse stations. My Chrysler worked like this and it was far superior.
  6. I'm still hoping for bug fixes. 1. Fix the wind noise for phone calls. 2.Give me the option to use the steering wheel seek to browse all stations. If I want to choose presets I can easily do that from the touch screen. I have no need to seek presets with the steering controls to, leaving no easy way to browse all stations. 3.I can no longer use my phone to make calls, yet it connects and streams music. Are you kidding?
  7. Could you make an iso of the flash drive and offer it up for download?
  8. Does this fix the wind noise problem with the phone?
  9. Android would be amazing, but ford can't charge $800 for navigation that other companies give away for free so they would never do it. Ford couldn't care less what their customers want. Only outdated hardware can survive extreme weather? Where did you come up with that? I don't know how cheap tablets hold up in extreme weather, but I wouldn't need it to survive 10-15 years. I would much rather have a cheap tablet that I could replace every few years. New hardware (even the cheap stuff) and new software is far better than outdated hardware and crap software. And replacing it every few years would still cost far less than Ford is charging for this garbage. In 10-15 years MFT is going to look like a rotary phone. That reminds me of another argument I've seen here. The screen has to be an unresponsive resistive touchscreen so people can use it with gloves. And yet the permanent climate controls are touch that don't work with gloves. Maybe that should be the other way around. A good quality touchscreen that people in cold weather can't use a few months a year until their car warms up enough to take their gloves off (or heaven forbid they could take one glove off) and climate controls that you can use with gloves and actually feel when you press it. There is no way anyone at Ford thought about those controls at all because they were an obviously terrible idea.
  10. FMT hardware was outdated before it came out. The smartphones that they give away for free have far superior hardware than My Touch. Even the sub $200 tablets have better hardware than my touch, not to mention much better software. Think about that. Ford is charging thousands of dollars for a system with much worse hardware and software than a sub $200 tablet. If this hardware was in my phone I would have upgraded 3 years ago, and yet they expect people buying it now to be content with it for decades to come.
  11. Sounds like a ground loop problem. Try googling something like alternator whine speakers.
  12. I don't have an aux input next to the usb. I have rca inputs. It's hard to believe that a 2011 car doesn't have an aux input (3.5 mm). I guess I'll buy an aux to rca cable and try out the rca input. This will allow me to control the music from my ipod? Is this usb problem something the dealer could fix or is a software issue like most things?
  13. I've gotten a Zune 120 and a flash drive to work (kind of). Album art does not work at all on any of them. The zune storage is so large that it takes forever to index. I don't know if it has ever finished because most of my drives are less than 20 minutes. But it doesn't really matter because it would take 20 minutes to find the artist I am looking for slowing going from page to page looking for it on the mft. My zune 30, ipod, and android phone aren't recognized at all. It says this usb device is not supported.
