  1. Like editwiz, we've had continuous problems with Travel Link... including the Ford's Fault -Sirius' Fault finger pointing. Once you start paying for Travel Link non-performance becomes an issue. We had some nice storms in the area and zooming way out showed absolutely nothing on the radar/storm/chart maps. Went to the dealer (I think it was the 5th time AND after the March refresh) who asked me if I disconnected the battery - as if that would be the obvious solution. (Yes I saw that and pull fuse 29 but why in God's great earth would an ordinary Joe Edge owner need to do that?). We've done more Master Resets than I can count and I'd pull the battery connections (dealer did it for me once) if I didn't keep losing all my customization settings. As a software engineer I can't imagine designing a system that didn't keep preferences in a non-volatile portion of memory. As far a Sirius subscriptions - in my case I had to buy the radio service and then add-on Travel Link and Traffic options - offer to pay for a long term subscription to get a decent price - I think my offer was about $70 for 6 months. But then other than fuel prices it hasn't been all that reliable (I guess I have to get adept at pulling the battery connection).
  2. Master reset... works. But it is far from permanent. Expect the service to disappear again and you won't be disappointed when it happens. The crappy part about Master Reset - you have to re-enter anything you customized (home, favorites, phones). Would be interesting to hear if there is a definitive answer (and yes, my 2011 Edge system has the 2012 "factory" software update).
  3. Agreed... they moved it to the instrument cluster so all your passengers have to ask or sneak a peek... So time is huge and temp is gone - if you ask me that old time-temp display was just fine... Make it a user selectable option? Noticed music titles weren't being sent to the screen either.
