Hi All, i recently downloaded the Gen1-3.1 Sync update for my 2010 Ford Edge. I've put the update file on a USB thumb drive and I'm ready to update my system. Unfortunately, non of the methods I've found to actually initiate the update seem applicable to my very basic non-navigation equipped SYNC system. Simply inserting the USB drive into the USB port has no effect! How do i get SYNC to start an update from the USB drive on my system? Thanks, John

Hi All, I have a 2010 Edge that I purchased new without a towing package. I just installed a Curt trailer hitch, and now I'm researching the best options to add a trailer wiring harness to my vehicle. Does Ford install trailer wiring in cars that do not get equipped with a towing package? I noticed that there is a connector under the rear bumper right in the middle that might be a likely candidate? I've read that it's possible to 'activate' the factory trailer wiring by installing (expensive) relays under the hood, and installing a pigtail at the hitch. Even if it's the more expensive route, I would prefer this option! If no factory trailer wiring is installed in my Edge, what is the next best option? I've seen the interface box style that mounts behind the left rear tail light, but I don't like the idea of storing the cable in the cargo area, and running it out under the hatch when in use. I much prefer to have a connector mounted right next to the hitch. What are my options? Thanks, John

Hi All, I ran over a piece of metal in the road and punctured one of the tires on my 2010 Ford Edge. As soon as I hit the object, I got a 'low tire pressure' warning, and immediately pulled over. After changing the tire, I rode for a half a day with the original tire in the back of the car, and noted that the TPMS message had changed to 'Tire Pressure Sensor Fault'. I assumed that was because the sensor was still sending a low pressure warning, yet the car was obviously moving, so the computer interpreted that as a sensor failure? The tire was just repaired, and the fault message persists. The repair did not involve removing the tire from the rim, so I don't think the sensor was disturbed, and the fault condition was present before the repair. Is this a reset issue, or am I looking at a new sensor? John
