thadfield Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 The Sony receiver in the 2011 Edge LTD has a control in the middle for volume, fast forward, etc., and then a horizontal bar that says "Sound" and another that says "Source." I see no reference to these in the owners manuals (maybe I'm just missing it, but I've looked several times). What are they supposed to do? How do you work them? I've pressed them, touched them, swiped across them.... nothing seems to happen. Am I doing something wrong? Or are mine broken? Has anyone else found a reference to these in the owners manuals?

choff1138 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 if touched just right (hard to find the right spot on purpose) it switches your source (radio, cd, usb...) or pulls up your sound options on the screen (to change your treble, bass...). I only seem to get it on accident so can't completely say where to touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsons66604 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Just a touch is needed but I've found that they can be unresponsive at times. I wish all the touch buttons were as sensitive as the Hazard button! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k1200rsport Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 You can also access the same from Mytouch screen too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only seem to get it on accident so can't completely say where to touch. Glad to hear that these things are hard to get to work reliably. I was starting to think it was crazy and they were just decorative. I'll keep trying with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsons66604 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) It's weird. My friend has a great deal of trouble with the touch. I have very little trouble. She gets very frustrated when trying to turn on her seat heat. Edited February 27, 2011 by wilsons66604 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrl-z Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Just a touch is needed but I've found that they can be unresponsive at times. I wish all the touch buttons were as sensitive as the Hazard button! Careful. In that case, would not every function would be super easy to activate and insanely difficult to deactivate?

msmith Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I rented an Explorer with that Sony head unit and I gotta say I will not be ordering my Edge with that piece of junk. I'll take the non-Sony unit. The tune buttons on the main wheel either don't work or are too sensitive, depending on where you touch them, and the touch-sensitive buttons on the faceplate are totally hit or miss. Not to mention that touch-buttons require you to divert your eyes from the road to use, whereas real buttons can be felt. This is a gargantuan ergonomic FAIL.

Edgieguy Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Wow... I love mine and have no troubles with it. Guess I'm the minority. I tend to use voice commands for most functions, but I find it easy to use without looking too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotLap Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) to the OP - mine work every time - but it's because you need to touch (right above) the white bars/lines. Also, I like the Sony system, actually read it is better than the MKX THX System and the only reason Lincoln is still using the THX system is due to contractual reasons.....

LetsTryaFord Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Wonder if we'll soon see after market units to revert back to the buttons? Good business venture for someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
