I have a 2011 Sport I had a similar intermittent rattle coming from the back. Spare tire hold down had come loose, tightened it up, no more rattle. I also had a rattle from the vista roof, it didn't seat just right one time and during the rainy season the roof can stay closed for weeks. rattle was there until i opened the roof and it went away, Closed the roof and it seated properly, no more rattle

I was also wondering about this. When the Edge was brand new, I didn't notice it as much, now that it a year old the bumper seems to be a creamer white ? New A week old Hmm i guess it was always a little off The other trim pieces haven't discoloured or change colour, just the front and rear bumpers. I have noticed this on some other Edges and MKX's which have the tri-white. Edge is due for its spring Detail, so I will see if this helps, if not I will ask the dealer whats going on.

Un-synced my phone and did a master reset on Version 2.11 this morning Installed the update on the way home from work this afternoon. Started the Edge and waited for the update to start and then started my daily commute Everything was done in about 40 min. well ahead of getting home in rush hour. Nav card installed, phoned synced - Good to go . PS. I had a new APIM installed a while back when I had the dreaded black screen of death on Version 2.8

Finally got the update package from Ford on the West Coast :hyper: Letter inside was dated April 12, 2012

At least they are finally starting to arrive in Canada, I'm on the west coast so hopefully the package will arrive next week

From what some of the owners in the USA have posted it looks like their packages don't have any French writing or labeling. I'm starting to think the "Rumor " I heard from a source inside Ford is starting to have some merit Once a Canadian finally gets a mail copy i'd be interested to see if the packaging is the same, then we will know what the delay really was.

I need help with a proven method of getting the MFT system to work as a hotspot for a road trip so others in the Edge can surf their iPhones, Mac books. ( Canadian Roaming would cost an arm and a leg) I live in Canada and will be travelling the West Coast of USA ( Seattle, Oregon,San Francisco) I think i will need to purchase a USA, MIFI or USB Broadband device from a USA carrier ( Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, Virgin mobile etc.) - Looks like a couple of companies offer a no contract, pay as you go option. Only really need for when travelling in the Edge as our stops and destinations have Wifi access Is anyone on the West Coast using a method that works with MFT? I am hoping to have the new MFT update sometime in April if Ford ever mails it to Canada, otherwise I will be running MFT 2.11 Thanks in advance for your help with this Travis

Has any Canadian actually received a Ford package in the mail yet?

No package yet. I got the original mailer in January saying it was coming soon.

I heard a rumor from my dealer that the Canadian version was in the mailroom for dealers and then got held back. Something about it was missing the bilingual aspect (French) , fix should be done by end of March. Don't know if the program was missing French or the labeling on the package

Thanks

I have a 2011 Ford Edge Sport with the Navigation I was having problems with MFT 2.11 ( Instead of getting the Ford logo at start up I was getting the main menu screen? followed by lock up) and the dealer did a master reset and all my Nav Favourites are now gone. Is there a way I should be backing these up or saving them somehow so I can recover the info after a Master Reset. With the pending upgrade coming i guess there is no reason to re-enter the info at this time. Thanks

The Main reason i stay with Ford other than the fact that they have some great products is SEVICE DEPT @ Key West Ford. The service advisors and service manager at this location are top notch, They treat my cars the way they would want theirs treated If its not right, They always make it right

See attached report from 1010tires.com This report and Miata's report are different in a couple of areas Revolutions per mile seems to be the biggest difference Whos right? Miata Report

The MFT has a section in it that the Ford techs can get to and reprogram tire sizes to keep your Speedometer accurate The standard 22" wheels come with a tire size of 265/40/22 The 17" steel wheels with tires are considered a minus size at 235/65/17 The diameter difference of this tire package is 4.36 % Speedometer difference of 4.551% too fast So if they didn't adjust for the tire size My Edge would be reading 60mph/100kmh when the Edge was really doing 62.7mph/ 104kmh The service manager explained it to me and it sounded like it was a simple drop down menu with a list of tire sizes to select from. This minus tire size wasn't in the MFT system and they had to download the update from Ford before programming it in my Edge

Here is what i am observing 2011 Ford Edge Sport 3.7L- V6. AWD With 22" Sport wheels and tires on, computer says 13.9L/per100KM approx 509 KM Per tank on fill up. 50/50 Mixed Driving Freeway, rush hour crawl, city driving 15 fill ups averaging the same With 17" Steel Wheels & Snow Tires on, computer says 12.7L/per100KM approx 617 KM Per tank on fill up. Same 50/50 Mixed Driving Freeway, rush hour crawl, city driving MFT was programmed with new winter tire size settings to keep speedo correct 7 fill ups averaging the same

Sounds like your APIN Module is defective I had mine replaced a couple of months back and MFT has been runing great ever since

Checked Video Play I can get the video to run from my iphone 4 two ways. 1. Using the Apple composite AV Cable plugged into my phone and using the AV connections in the center console. (Iphone 4 Running on battery.) I can go to the videos on my phone and select one and play using the iphone 4 controls. Video / Movie covers the full 8" screen 2. Using the Apple composite AV Cable plugged into my phone & the USB cable plugged into the USB in the center console and using the AV connections in the center console I can control the videos using the MFT interface - Video plays in widscreen mode..

I purchased the apple composite AV Cable for my iphone 4. http://store.apple.com/ca/product/MC748ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ I can play movies that i have on the phone using the iphone to select , start and stop the movie on the screen while in the MFT AV screen I'll double check the proceedure as I have only used it a couple of times I have MFT 2.11 with a new Apim module as mine died a couple months ago

See video on how to play video on MFT. http://ford-life.com/2011/12/13/how-to-play-video-from-a-mobile-device-on-myford-touch/

I went with 235/65/17 BFgoodrich Slalom KSI (4) Black Steel Wheels (4) 235/65/17 BFgoodrich Slalom KSI (4) TPMS Brand New Set up: installed, mounted, balanced , Taxes, enviro fees, OTD $ 1,194 Canadian (- Minus $50 BFgoodrich mail in rebate, dealer 100 bonus air miles) Total OTD Cost $ $1,144 The dealer reprogrammed my edge sport awd to match the new tire size so the speedo is accurate Fitment is good and no clearance issues The only difference i felt in the braking and handling was it seemed a bit easier to turn the steering wheel, less resistance Update Gas mileage and acceleration has improved with the smaller tires

Took the Fiesta in today to get the snow tires put on from the Canadian winter promotion The service manager talked to me about my Edge and said that he is expecting the new upgrade on January 13, 2012. He said I can expect a letter from Ford early in the new year re: update.

Quote from letter. Early next year, owners located in the U.S. will be mailed a USB flash drive with the software upgrade for installation that they can do at their own convenience. If they prefer, owners may also visit their local Ford or Lincoln dealer for the software installation. The upgrade mailing will include instructions informing owners how to simply plug the USB flash drive into the MyFord Touch Media Hub’s USB port in order for installation to automatically begin. Does anyone know what the plan is for Canadian Vehicles ?

Has anyone else experienced the following weird glitch with the vista roof? I had the Vista roof popped up the other morning and went to close it and it wouldn't close. Tryed both buttons to close and nothing. I then tried the auto open button and it opened to the standard open position, I then tried to close and nothing pushed the open button again and it moved to the fully open position, tried to close and nothing. Turned the Edge off and tried to close on Aux power , nothing Open and closed the door to get out of aux power. Turned the Edge back on, tried the vista roof buttons again , still wouldn't closed Finally on the third try of restarting the Edge the Vista roof buttons came back to life and I was able to close the roof fully
