having the issue in my 2012 Edge limited. Taking it in today. The dealership didn't sound surprised at all and even asked if the passenger seat was "rocking" as well.

great info kc300c, but you do realize you're listening to Jessie J right?

i'd hold off on the baby wipes. They contain oils and soaps that are designed to interact with urine and feces. If your seats are covered in urine and feces. . .by all means, start with a baby wipe. If they aren't, you're just degrading the leather. The rationale of, "they are gentle enough to use on a baby" doesn't hold water for this simple reason: our skin constantly regenerates--when the oils and soaps in baby wipes remove skin cells, it isn't a big deal because your body naturally replaces them constantly--unless you have a leather seat that i'm unaware of, your leather is not going to regenerate. a quick internet search will tell you to stay away from baby wipes. for every one person that uses them, 20 tell you not to. http://ezinearticles.com/?Why-You-Should-Never-Clean-Leather-Using-Baby-Wipes&id=1227548 if it's working for you Dingo, stick with it. . .but I've seen it ruin seats in a BMW. You need to find a pH balanced cleaner to clean them first. In the past, I've used (and been happy with) Pinnacle cleaner. It doesn't have a perfume scent like a lot of "cleaners" do. Apply with a Cobra brand pad, a cotton rag, or a leather brush and wipe away the excess when you're finished. The second step is to re-condition the leather. Since it isn't growing like skin, you have to care for it a little differently. The best I've used for the price is Lexol (and it maintains/renews) the leather "smell." I'm going to pick some up today for my week old 2012 Edge. O'Reilly's auto-parts carries it in all of their stores (I had to search for it this morning), and it's about $10/bottle. hope this helps--not trying to start anything with Dingo, it's just fact that baby wipes do more harm than good. just look at the science behind what's in them. . .

So it worked before, but now nothing?

i'm wondering if it is because it's a HD based iPod and not a flash based (like my iPhone/iTouch). The iPhone (64gb) indexed rather quickly.

yes. I just purchased the car Saturday and a phone call with sync support confirmed that i do have the latest software.

how long does it take to "index" an iPod? I've been driving around since I purchased the car (Saturday) with a 160gb iPod classic connected via the usb hub in the center console. It has been "indexing" the entire time (there's about 155gb of music on the device). Today was the first time I could actually access the artist list, but when I select an artist, it "thinks" in perpetuity. Do I just need to be patient because of the amount of music? Anyone have a similar experience? Thanks, Gordon

sorry. . .all 3 of you!!

thanks to both of you!!!

So, I'm now a Ford owner. I purchased a 2012 Edge Limited with Ecoboost today, and. . .is it ok to be in love with an inanimate object? I've been looking at this car for 3 years, and I'm really excited to be an owner. I'm going to lurk here and hopefully be able to add a thing or two...but I ask your forgiveness for any questions I may ask that are silly. Not new to forums, so I'll search before I ask. . .but I'm looking forward to this. Gordon
