So called "Direct" TPMS have Sensors in each tire that would wirelessly send data to the vehicle with information. Some vehicle have "Receivers" at each wheel well to collect the data, in which it is simple for the vehicle's PCM to know which wheel it is. Other vehicles (Fords included) receive the wireless Data from all four (4) sensors through one receiver (usually the same receiver of the Keyless remote), hence the vehicle needs to learn which sensor is for which tire & in case of tire rotations, it should be re-learned. Apparently, Ford chose the easy way by just complying to minimum law requirement of providing just a "Warning Light", which is better than nothing, but could have easily been turned to a much more useful feature by means of clever engineering without added equipment cost!

My Ford Touch New Software Release
omar302 replied to tjbron's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
I also remeber that there were several zoom levels. Furthermore, earlier, there was also a cancel button when you shifted to Drive (if you had the Rear Camera Delay feature on), now they removed it. -

Someone who didn't receive the update e-mailed support and got a reply: As for your case, having Navigation, you can go to your dealer to perform the update & get your SD card from them. -

2011 Edge dash in accessory mode
omar302 replied to tpm419419's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
In my 2011 MKX, I remember the screens would be on, but they would have some kind a white "Flow" image, kind of like the screens are white near the speedometer and get gradualy darker on the oppisite sides. -
The center screen only. Console buttons remain on.

My Ford Touch New Software Release

To keep the camera on when shifting back to drive is a feature that can be turned on in the vehicle settings of the MFT screen. The camera will remain on until you reach a speed of about 5-10 mph. Before the 3.5.1 update, there used to be a cancel button to cancel the feature when you shifted to drive (a one time cancel), but with 3.5.1, there is no cancel button. -
In the V3.5.1 update they added an "Off" option for the Display so you can have it completely off. It comes back on by touching the display of the Sync voice button on the steering wheel.

Found a new feature in the V3.5.1 update! You can turn off the MFT display under Display Settings. To turn it back on, simply touch the screen or right side steering wheel 5-button controls. And found a missing feature! If you have the rear Camer reverse delay (that keeps the camera on on drive until you speed), the button for "cancel" is gone. Now you HAVE to speed to dismiss the Camera! -
Happy to hear things went well.

Good news, I hoped, but unfortunantly since the article states "Version 3.5", it means its the same update already available at dealers since early November (Version 3.5.1)! So don't get your hopes high, its a little improvement above version 3.2.2! There are already several threads discussing the upgrade. As for warranty, in March 2012 a TSB (CSP-12M01) already extended the warranty to 4 years for Fords & 5 years for Lincolns, so does this extend it a further a one year?

Name the files in Alphabatical order and put them in one folder, then using the browse button in Radio screen, browse to the folder and select the first choice, its "play" or "play all". This way usually plays them in alphabatical order in my MKX.

Will there be any issues swapping these on my wifes edge?
omar302 replied to mjbaker84's topic in Wheels & Tires
They should work fine. But remeber that 20" wheels will have a harsher ride compared to 18" wheels. -
Good luck and Keep us updated.

Gust & bimmer848, your cars apparently act similar to 2011 & 2012 Edges where they did have an "M" instead of "S" in the gear shift indicators. The "Sport" mode was introduced in 2013 & as per the manual, should operate like what members OnEdgeinMA & akirby described. I believe its that your cars, though 2013 models, are programmed with 2012/2011 softwares & hence the way they operate. It would be nice though if we can program our 2011 to get the "Sport" mode. Edit: Sport mode is mentioned in the Product Sheet for the 2013 Edge under "New and Notable" (2nd point). http://media.ford.com/images/10031/2013_Edge.pdf
