wilsons66604 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Oh my! What's that warm feeling coming over me.....? Did this guy imply that the older the car, the longer the install? That tells me there has been hardware updates. over the past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wouldn't be surprised since many say their update took 40 minutes as expected but man others like me it took a solid hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrl-z Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Wow, Ford has discovered the hardware has a dedicated graphics controller they can make use of and they have even "borrowed the concept of beta testing". Things are definitely looking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlepse Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Went back and listened again...not sure what to think. He did say 45 min to an hour based on how old AND what version software they are on. Could have just been a slip and he didn't mean that but who knows. I do know the update from 2.8 to 2.11 took at least an hour, not sure of the exact time but I think ours was made in 3/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think that there were more than one supplier of the MFT APIM. You got A...I got B. Some APIMs can handle the poor programming better than others.

choff1138 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Did this guy imply that the older the car, the longer the install? That tells me there has been hardware updates. over the past year. I think he was covering for people that haven't upgraded to 2.11 - he says the old the car and the old the version on the car. I have already had it confirmed that I will have to take my car to a dealer to have it installed because I never did that upgrade to 2.3 or whatever it was you had to do to be able to upgrade on your own. So I would guess it will take longer to upgrade from 2.8 then from 2.11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongers Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I was thinking the same, how do you go oops we did not know we had a GPU. In the grand scheme of things, using the GPU as a general processor is actually a pretty new idea, so don't fault them for not realizing it sooner.

rwolson Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm looking forward to the update. BTW, my 2.11 update took about 40 minutes. No idea why some took longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11edgelimited Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 2.11 update took 45 mins in car and about 15-20 download from computer to jump drive.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulsa Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 In the grand scheme of things, using the GPU as a general processor is actually a pretty new idea, so don't fault them for not realizing it sooner. Amiga was doing this in the 80's. They off-loaded the graphics and sound to the Denise and Paula chips respectively. This is hardly a new idea. Is it just me or did those guys appear to have been separated at birth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkx2go Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) I am suppose to pick up my MKX last week of Jan. I still cannot see my window sticker yet. Do you guys think the update will be installed already? Thanks JD Edited January 7, 2012 by mkx2go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 If they are still in beta testing I'd say no, but I wouldn't sweat it. The upgrade process will be easy and DIY. If they have the final code it will, as at the time of our build, ours had newer software before it was released to the dealers. Just depends on where they are at in testing but since Ford said a 1st quarter release I'd guess they are still testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys think the update will be installed already? Thanks JD If you have a VIN, sign up on the SyncMyRide website. You can monitor the installation & version of the software. You'll see when they install it in factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
