  1. I'm not sure that the older system will run the new software. The dealer got back to me and said that he could get a CD update for $200... Found it here (http://allthingsnav.navigation.com/article/save-50-select-ford-lincoln-and-mercury-navigation-system-map-updates) for $149... I'll post my experience with this vendor when it arrives.
  2. Maybe I missed it searching, but I couldn't find my answer so I am asking for help. 2008 Ford Edge LTD with navigation. The dealer gave me the 09 update CD awhile back, but a lot has changed in 5+ years. Looking on ebay and other sites all the new updates appear to be on a SD card. My car doesn't have a SD card slot that I know of, just a USB drive. I called the dealer to see if they have a CD to update the maps to 2014 ones and they had no idea and couldn't find any info. The parts guy took my name and number - we'll see if he calls back. In the meantime, what have other owners of older navigation systems done to update their OEM system? Not interested in the "get a Garmin" answer. Thanks!
  3. Our first child was the reason that we bought the Edge...retired the 94 Taurus SHO for something with more room and safer...
  4. Whats wrong with a tent and an air mattress?
  5. There was a service bulletin on the 20inch chrome cladders regarding noise coming from them at driving speeds. I received 4 new ones for free from my dealership. Unfortunately, the wife curbed one and I curbed the second. So, my 20 in chrome clads look like crap. The chrome peeled off and the plastic (whitish grey) is visible. The worst thing? I can't find anyplace to repair them, and am not going to buy new wheels. I am 100% happy with my Edge. I am 0% happy with the chrome clads. What a joke.
  6. As funny as a kick in the crotch...
  7. My 03 MR2 Spyder...the first and last non Ford that I will buy. A great enthusiasts car, but I HATE Toyotas - generally over priced and underpowered...nothing compared to the bang for the buck of my Spyder back in 03 though... Some of my old loves: 87 Merkur XR4ti 88 TurboCoupe 94 SHO
  8. Do you share the vehicle with a spouse/someone else? Perhaps they programmed the seat first? You should have two keys. From the way I understand it, whatever the first setting programmed in with a particular key becomes the default setting. So, if you could reset the defaults, and reprogram it, you'd be fine. Check the owners manual.
  9. Were these the chrome clad wheels? I didn't know they could be fixed! My wife curbed the first one, and then yesterday I did the second...ugh.
  10. But a new problem arises...the wife decided to scrape up the front passenger side wheel by hitting a concrete barrier while parking. I could cry...
  11. Ford has a service bulletin out on the 20 inch chrome clad wheels. I took my car in and complained that I was hearing a rattling sound out of all four wheels. My tech ordered me four new wheels and switched my tires over for nothing. Unfortunately tonight, about 3 months later, my wife hit a curb while parking and tore up the front passenger side wheel. I love how they look, but the chrome clad, which allegedly cannot be fixed, is a nightmare once they get scratched.

  12. Loving it! After riding in mine, a friend's father is selling his Mercedes ML320 for a 2011 Sport.
