JOEHIO Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 It was me, with the post. Came in today's mail, took 40 minutes to install, everything is GREAT, including my IPOD. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyMeyer Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Update on my situation. Dealership ordered the apin module on Monday, and my car was done Tuesday afternoon. They put the update on the new apin as they have to load the software on it anyway. I pick my car up and immediately notice some strange things. I no longer have the following: heated seat controls backup camera seek/voice command (steering wheel controls) sirius radio Called the dealership and they are working with the technology team at Ford to figure out why some settings aren't showing up. Other than that the new system is much faster and the general screen layout/buttons look nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrunde Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) I updated mine a week ago. It took about 40-45 minutes on my drive home. The operation using the seek button on the steering wheel to scroll through the radio presets is now opposite. It used to be down to go from preset 1 to 2, but now it is up. Also, right after I started my Edge yesterday, it started playing the radio, which is where it was when I had previously turned it off, and switched to the iPod a couple of seconds later without me doing anything. It had done this a few times before the upgrade, so it doesn't look like they fixed that yet. Edited March 16, 2012 by jrunde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dconfer Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Got my package in the mail today. Had the update last week but needed the nav card. So it looks like they are starting to arrival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpm419419 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Still waiting, was hoping it would have came before my trip tomorrow. It's been a year and a half so what's another week right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Maybe it will come before you leave for your trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmodifyd Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 well, still don't have my package from the mail, but i did get a nav SD card today! i called about 10 dealers a couple days ago, and one of them said to call back today to see if they have any......and they did! They were a little confused at the fact that i already have the update installed, as they didn't know you could download it from syncmyride, but they took my vin and gave me a A3 sd card. Now what to do with my package when it arrives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graymkx Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Update applied in New Jersey. MKX with 2.11 upgraded today in 45 minutes. New Nav card installed as well. One problem I hoped was fixed may be a phone problem. I have a Windows 7.5 phone and I wanted to use addresses in the phonebook as a destination in naviagtion. When I open the phonebook, the address is shown. I hit options, select as destination and I am told it cannot use the address Has anyone had sucess with this feature?.

Warren Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I called my local dealer which is 25 miles south of Boston on Monday to see if the update had arrived and they said no but would call me as soon as one arrived. I received a call today(left work early) and installation took roughly one hour. My Blackberry Curve 9330 paired with no problem. So far so good.... My advice is to call your local dealer if you do not want to wait for the update via mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgdr57 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I've been tracking Edge/MKX MFT upgrade posts because the activity on this topic in the Focus Forum has been minimal. Finally received my upgrade package today and did the installation - there was drama but ultimately (two hours later...) success. If you would like to read my Focus Forum post about what transpired, here's the link. MFT Upgrade in Focus Forum. Perhaps this was for the best. At least now I feel better prepared to do the upgrade in my father's '11 MKX tomorrow. I wouldn't have wanted him to have had to try and deal with similar issues on his own.

I wonder why you had so many problems with the update. Did mine thursday on my MKX, took 40 minutes. Yes, before I started, I read the instructions carefully, and I did delete (unpaired) our phones before starting. Wish you luck with dads MKX tomorrow.

I also read all the instructions and unpaired my phone in advance of the upgrade. Curious to see how other Focus owners have fared but as yet have found no posts other than one who had difficulty pairing a phone post-upgrade.

Barry626 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Got my package today & only took 40 mins. I called Ford 3 days ago & received it today. Update & SD card was a snap to install & so far all looks & runs just great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpm419419 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) Mine finally came yesterday also. Doing now in the driveway. They may have shipped the first batch overseas OK Got 'r done. Seems to be working fine with no glitches. Does anyone with an iPhone 4s get the addresses in the address book to set as destination??. Before I didn't get the addresses and now I do see them. Unfortunately I can't use them to set my navigation. Thanks Edited March 18, 2012 by tpm419419 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jRE Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm thinking on doing the update tonight on my 2012 edge with nav that i got a bit over two weeks ago. Is there any other reason aside for the SD map data to have my dealer do the update? I currently have v2.11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm thinking on doing the update tonight on my 2012 edge with nav that i got a bit over two weeks ago. Is there any other reason aside for the SD map data to have my dealer do the update? I currently have v2.11. I have a 2012 Edge Ltd with Nav and I did the update in my driveway in 50 minutes with no issues. You must leave the car idling for the full time. A waste of gas but it beats tying up your time at a dealership. No issues with my phone or the system updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's running right now (10:10pm) with keys in the ignition outside my driveway. kind of scary thinking someone will notice it and drive away with my new ride.

Yikes! don't leave you wheels outside, running at night unattended! Take your keys with your and lock your doors. That's what I did and didn't have any issues. Even if someone broke a window and attempted driving away it wouldn't work as it would give you the key not detected warning, but idling is just fine.

I dont have push start so keys had to be in the car and its the only time i have to do it with all the things i have to do during day-time. I'm pleased with it's snappy performance compared to 2.11, it's designed to be user-friendly with all the needed settings and important info easily accesed and viewed which is a requirement especially while driving. Can't wait for tomorrow to contact some Ford dealers to get the SD card because I am not even sure i will get it in the mail since i signed the papers the day Ford dealers got their 3.11 copies and this Edge like the rest on their lot is supposed to be their responsibility upgrading. I would rather have a usable and functional MFT for driving conditions than complaining that it lacks non-essential eye-candy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffdelta Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Update went well. Still waiting on SD card. Took close to 40 minutes and I did unpair my iPhone 4s first. Updated: Received SD card same afternoon. All is well Edited March 21, 2012 by jeffdelta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
