I know this is an old thread but I just discovered it being a new Edge Sport owner, I went back to their site (not sure if these options were there when this thread was active): http://www.soundmanca.com/products/ipad-mini-side-slider-kit Looks like he has a few pre-fab kits ready to go, I am just not 100% sure this would fit the Edge's MFT panel.

So another vehicle came in the mix last minute and I went with it. I am set to pick it up either tonight or tomorrow. 2013 Ford Edge Sport AWD Black Miles: 30,000 CPO Vision Package, Driver Entry Package, MFT Initial Selling Price: $27,000 Negotiated Cost: $26,500 Trade-In: Started at $7,500 and negotiated up to $8,500 I am excited to get it, thoughts?

Thank you for the information, @Waldo... I will definitely be keeping an eye on the market for Sync3 unit that gets parted out. I guess whats the worst that can happen, shell out $500-$600 and if doesn't work throw it on eBay.

I am wondering if some of these will be floating around on ebay or other sources online after its released and could be swapped out in to the vehicle. Probably not on that one either, I am sure dimensions or harnesses won't be the same but one could hope

Just found some more info... http://www.cnet.com/news/ford-sync-3-announced/ Doesn't look good though

It would be nice. My only fear is maybe they have some contractual agreement with Microsoft that any previous models must remain on the same software. Also wondering if the hardware is any different needed to run the new system.

Hey Guys, Just found this on Engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2014/12/11/ford-sync-3/?ncid=rss_truncated No real mention if it will be available as a software upgrade to current MFT units.

Thanks for the replies guys. So far I am leaning in the direction of the blue. The black one is a great fall back though if it doesn't work out. The dealer (only though email at this point) has been a little iffy to communicate with... for everything being in writing he is forgetting a lot and asking me duplicate questions which bothers me for some reason. I will keep you guys posted with what ends up panning out between the 2 vehicles. Either way I would be happy, been dying to get in to an Edge Sport since purchasing my Focus.

Hello, I am pretty new around here, I am currently an owner of a 2012 Ford Focus SEL Hatchback. Sadly, recently I was in an accident and the car has now been in the shop for over a month. I should be getting it back this coming week (fingers crossed), but this has now given me the opportunity to get in to my Ford Edge. So I have been shopping around to many different dealerships, currently I have it narrowed down to 2 potentials. Dealer 1: 2012 Ford Edge Sport AWD - Color: Black - Miles: 45k - Fully loaded with driver entry package, vista sun-roof, mft w/navigation - Price: $24,995 (Not including tax, titles & fees) Dealer 2: 2012 Ford Edge Sport AWD - Certified Pre-Owned - Color: Dark Blue - Miles: 41k - Fully loaded with driver entry package, vista sun-roof, mft w/navigation - Price: $27,000 (Not including tax, titles & fees) So, at the end of the day both vehicles are almost identical. Main differences are dealer #2 has less mileage and has the CPO warranty. I have bee to the dealership to test drive the black one and it was nice, my only complaints with the vehicle was that there is a minor (very minor) chip in the paint on the drivers door, and some paint scuffs on the bottom rear fender, and finally some strange blue ink looking stain on the carpeting in the back of the truck. I plan on test driving the blue on @ dealer #2 next weekend (only issue is they are over an hour away). Basically what I am looking at after my trade-in on the Focus is Dealer #1 would cost around $27.5k in total out the door, and Dealer #2 (through some email exchanges) would be roughly $29.5k out the door. So, looking for some thoughts from everyone, is the extra $2k worth it? I do prefer the navy blue color from dealer #2 it seems to be very rare, and as a major NY Yankees fan its fitting (not a fan of the impact blue color Ford uses now), from the photos on the site I cannot see any scratches or scuffs but I will find that out for sure in about a week, finally the 4k fewer miles and the CPO tag? Thanks for the input guys, been loving the forum (from browsing) so far.

Hello Robert, I was reading through this and it has made me a little discouraged. A month ago I was in an accident with my 2012 Ford Focus, its still in the shop hoping it will be done by early next week. But, I went and test drove a 2012 Ford Edge Sport AWD. Just on the small test drive it wasn't bad, the vehicle has 45k miles on it, and I put a holding deposit down while I wait for my Focus to be completed so that the dealer can take it as a trade-in. Once everything is all done with the transaction I will post back to see if I run in to any similar issues.
