I think that's just an issue with the Iphone bluetooth standard... I don't think it worked for blackberry OS5.0 which comes standard on my phone... I just have beta version of the latest os on my phone.. so that could be why it is working for me (Updated Bluetooth standard included).

Just wanted to say that I head my first text message read to me by the car. Blackberry 9700 with latest leaked version of OS 6.0... I thought the reading of text messages didn't work with my phone.. I was pleasantly surprised!!! I also used a quick reply back to the text message I received... worked great as well.

I am no expert but I believe the GPS unit is a hardware unit and the SD card holds the map data.... so I believe you would have to have a technician install the hardware unit... not sure if they are able to actually add it after the fact though? you would have to talk to your dealer... but yes.. the cost of the nav option was around $700-800

GPS navigation is an option you would have had to order when purchasing your car. I have the Nav option in mine and it works great. One thing I didn't get that I thought was included was a garage door opener... which is supposedly an option that I had no clue I had to add. (I also have the 2011 SEL Edge)

You're saying that because there are still bugs in the software its not good to go from version "1.0" to "1.5" (not real version numbers) ??? I am a software architect and I guarantee there are bugs in all software to some extent. The reason a developer releases an update is because they found some bugs and fixed some of those bugs. Rarely are developers given enough time to fix all the bugs that are in their task list. You work on priority... so the bug "Sync completely crashes and reboots" is higher priority from "my phonebook pictures don't show up". Working in the software industry.. I would take the updates as they come. Cheers

I just picked up my 2011 Edge on Friday which already had Gen 2 installed by default. After reading all the issues on this forum for the last few months I am very impressed with sync and have no real issues with any of the features (though I haven't used everything extensively yet). Responsiveness is a non-issue... it's no iPhone.. but completely usable. Radio, Nav, Sirus, phone sycning all working well for me. I am up in Canada so we don't have the sync services stuff ... so that's also a non-issue for me. Start up time is near instant so far.. no reboots or anything like that noticed in 3 days of travel (knock on wood). Overall ... loving it!

Good to hear... lets see if it lasts...

Hey Greener.. any update? I am picking up my edge this Saturday in the morning.. will report back on initial impressions

Hey Greener.. any update?? you pick up your edge yet?

Keep us posted! ... you will probably have yours before I have mine.

Mine is actually already waiting for me at the dealership (they didn't give me my VIN in advance.. just got a call yesterday) but I can't pick it up yet cause I am going on vacation + need to get insurance all sorted before hand. I am in Toronto Canada... so pretty damn close to the Oakville ontario plant.. so might be why mine is waiting for me Cheers

Got my VIN today: Sync VersionSYNC GEN 2 Confirmed installations BT4T-14D546-AG BT4T-14F496-AG BT4T-14F497-AG SYNC compatible software BT4T-14F603-AG Sync History: BT4T-14D544-BD SYNC GEN 2 BT4T-14D544-BD CI 11/23/2010 BT4T-14D544-BD SYNC GEN 2 BT4T-14D544-BD CI 11/13/2010 hopefully she performs

That looks promising... I don't have a VIN yet on my Ordered Edge 2011 ... so glad to see mine will likely come with some sort of updated sync software/(hardware?) Cheers

Any Update MrHappy?

I am surprised Steve Jobs lets you apple folk buy vehicles with a Microsoft product inside... I guess it's only a matter of time until we see a iOS Car interface haha. But I a guess I was wrong about the apple formatted mp3's ... I know it used to be that way though. I stand corrected thanks Wilson6{something}
