Hello everybody,
this is my first post on this forum. Till now I was just monitoring...
Anyway, I love my Edge limited driving wise but as far as software it s....s. Yesterday I had to leave a little after 5AM so I remotely started my car to warm it up (outside was freezing) then I jumped in the shower. I come out from bathroom and I hear loud
music from outside. I'm thinking: is this my car? Jumped out of the house, sure enough, the volume is almost all the way up. WTF, I know I lowered it down the night before, knowing I was going to start it up so early in the morning. All my neighbours thanked me for a wake up call.
I apologized and I felt embarrased. The other day after backing out of my driveway (rear camera on) I drove straight for good half a mile with a camera still on. Pretty often on Sirrius radio, programmed stations show up blank, then I have to go to next set of staions, go back and they all show up. I am getting a little annoyed with all this crap. I'm actually affraid to go on a longer trip with this car. I called Ford cust svc. the other day complaining about media player playing albums in alphabetical order which you all probably heard of.
They switched me over to Sync tech support and all I found out from a lady who sounded like she was really bored and annoyed for being bothered, that this is the way it is and she does not know anything about future updates and if it's going to be fixed. Thank you Ford! But they did confirmed I am up to date with software
Well I think I've found the culprit. The problem with Sync software is CELL PHONE. My phone (droid) paired properly and I really didn't have any problems until I upgraded to 2.4. Then it all started. Before my phone got always connected to Sync but after upgrade I've noticed many times I got in the car, driving to work and I see my phone is not connected and Sync is trying and trying... I have a feeling the BT takes all the recources from cpu when looking for your phone that a computer running all this just "goes crazy" and starts doing all those stupid things. So I deleted the phone and now, except Sirrius blanking out stations from my favs everything seems to be OK. I didn't hookup my phone back yet, still testing but I'll try today.
BTW, like I mentioned before, I'm running updated software so a visit to my dealer would cause more harm then profit, I'm afraid. I think I'm stuck with all those problems till next update which, hopefully will resolve all those problems Ford is having with Sync
My feelings: for a $38000 car we should not have to go through all this! I'm totally disappointed...
