jdf77 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hello Does anyone know if there are updates available for the touch screen system? If so where can I get that from? Is there a download page at Ford somewhere? Load it on a stick, plug it in the Edge..and done...at least my expectation. Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdf77 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 any other way? I exported my edge to Switzerland...no syncmyride working here since it demands an US cellphone number.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 any other way? I exported my edge to Switzerland...no syncmyride working here since it demands an US cellphone number.... Nope. You'll have to contact a Ford dealer if you can't use the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4havnfun Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) any other way? I exported my edge to Switzerland...no syncmyride working here since it demands an US cellphone number.... You might be able to get a US phone number through skype or vonage that would keep the website happy enough to let you register Edited March 15, 2011 by 4havnfun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdf77 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) I just wrote syncmyride a mail asking for an other way to get updates. Let's see what they will tell me. I don't understand how you get the updates: a.) create an account. Download a file on a USB stick and plug it in the Edge or b.) directly "automatically" via cellphone when you're in the car? If it's a) a "fake" US number could solve my problem. If it's b.) it won't since the update is download volume (some kb or mb) and needs to be paid (or is paid with your cellphone contract) Edited March 15, 2011 by jdf77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major updates have to be made through the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdf77 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 oh super - then it's not a big deal. I can ask some friends in the States to " borrow" there number. Won't harm them. Thanx for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx for the info I think it's just for website registration. I don't think sync actually calls your cell phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdf77 Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 finally again had some time. managed to get into mysync without US-cellphone number (via the ford registration). Yet I'm not so sure if what I get is enough. Page tells me I've to check my VIN..but I'm 100% sure it's correct...plus further below it's ask me (again) for an US cellphone number. When I go to updates I get a page like shown.....empty..nothing to download - is that normal? I doubt. Yes I know I should rather ask that in the mysync forum (just in case anyone will come up with that line) I guess I'm at version 1.8 - do you guys have newer versions? I wrote to mysync but they are slow and first answer is always "you are abroad - we don't care". I struggle on with the mysync guys but would appreciate your info meanwhile thanx a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
