I don't think the nav software is installed based on comments I heard from Ford employees. If it was then the dealer could do just as you described and they aren't doing that.

Correct. If the dealer can't install the Navigation software and activate the SD card then it doesn't matter. And so far they have not been able to do that.

I think the writer misinterpreted what Ford said. Two quotes that indicate it must be ordered from the factory:

2.1 adds 911 assist among other things.

Technically.....that's true. You only have to buy the SD card to add navigation. The difference is you have to buy it from the factory, not the dealer. It's definitely misleading but I don't think it's intentional. They were just emphasizing that once you have MFT you can get Nav for $800 instead of $2000.

Yes. It makes it sound like you can upgrade it yourself just by adding the SD card but if you read it carefully it doesn't actually say that.

Typically, yes, but there isn't any real definition and it's whatever the dealer wants to call it. Get the itemized list so you can see what's included and what isn't.

I can't find the article I saw a few days ago but re-reading some of the press releases I think I have to backtrack here. What Ford seems to have advertised is that the SD card based Navigation was a $795 upgrade over MFT - which I think I and others interpreted to mean it could be added later. But I think Ford was simply implying that it was an option that could be added at the factory. So I don't think there was any implication that it could be added later by Ford - those were just assumptions and/or wishful thinking on our part.

Not a problem as long as green and red are always in the same position on the traffic light.

The latest software seems to have fixed most if not all of the complaints. Don't worry about the electronics themselves - they either die immediately or last forever. And there will be more software updates to fix more problems.

Technically it's not the highest trim level. The MKX is. That's the only logical explanation - they don't want the Sport competing with the MKX with the same engine so they restricted the options. If you want HIDs and the 3.7L you have to upgrade to the MKX.

MFT is new - it's a lot bigger and more complicated than Sync. But Sync and the syncmyride website has been around at least 3 years.

I don't see anything productive coming from this continued discussion. Topic closed.

This may sound obvious but have you checked the bass setting? What about DSP?

The seats fold down so I doubt there's any room.

I have no idea but I do know that it's listed along with the Fuse locations in the owner's manual in the glovebox.

As already explained - it's only available that way in Canada, not in the U.S.

It's possible but the AWD system in the explorer has much different programming than the one in your Edge. It is specifically designed for sand, snow and mud using the terrain control know on the dash. The Edge doesn't have that even though the hardware is basically the same.

I don't know why this is so hard to understand. The dealer gets around $500 from Ford for a X plan sale. Why in the world would they THROW THAT CHECK AWAY by telling you that you don't need the PIN? Do people really think dealers will throw away $500 for no reason?

That's exactly what they did. Adobe Flash is not well respected in the software community. Apple thought it was so bad they won't allow it on iOS (iphone, ipad, ipod touch). Probably not the best choice but they should be able to make it work. In fact it seems to be working pretty well after the update.

Try rebooting sync by pulling and replacing fuse 29.

12 months.

Of course that could be the reason, but I just saw the article where Ford touted the ability for the dealer to add Navigation to a MFT system after the fact. I think they simply don't have the logistics in place for the customer to pay for the feature and for the dealer to install the software yet. All they would have to do is have the dealer sell the SD card upgrade for $795 or $895 or whatever and the dealer installs it. Since the SD card has to be authorized with the installed software that should prevent piracy.

That's been an issue for several years - not sure why they haven't corrected it at the factory. I believe the door itself just needs to be adjusted to fix it. But that's the only one I remember.

But you're in Canada. In the U.S. you can only get adaptive cruise with the 302A package which includes the 301A package and that includes the Vista Roof. It must be different options in Canada. Maybe that explains tobjo's situation as well.
