Hey I just joined the forum. I have made a post already but I thought I'd post here to say hello. I have had my 2011 Ford Edge Limited AWD - fully loaded, for a little less than a week. I am very pleased with the vehicle so far. This is my 2nd Ford Edge, the previous one was a first year 2007 SEL AWD. The new Edge is obviously a lot nicer than the previous one and I can personally confirm that Ford has come a very long way with the Edge since it's debut (since my 2007 was built way back in 12/2006).

Hey, I am new to the forum, just joined and this is my first post. I have had my 2011 Ford Edge Limited AWD - loaded for a week now. This is my 2nd Ford Edge (had a 1st generation 2007 before). I am commenting on this thread because I don't understand why people are complaining about having to take their vehicles into the dealer to have Sync updated and having to wait for hours or days for them to perform the updates. I am surprised, especially coming from "techie" people, since you can simply register your vehicle on syncmyride.com it will allow you to download the Sync updates to a USB key and apply them yourself. I registered at syncmyride.com today and checked it all out. It told me that there may be an update for my vehicle so I followed the instructions and performed the task myself in minutes. My Edge was just built the 3rd week of May so it came with Sync version 2.8. All three updates (including the 2 done in the factory - see below) are the same base type and name even though they were applied on different days. The update which I just applied this morning was not really an update but actually BT4T-14D546-EC which is just a version status checker so there was no real update for my vehicle as of yet. I don't think that you can really tell if your Sync is up to date without registering on syncmyride.com and downloading the version status checker tool - especially if you have let the dealer's technicians mess with the car and they haven't registered the updates which they have applied. Part of the process is bringing the USB key back to your computer and uploading the installation confirmation to the syncmyride.com database (so Ford and you know what version your vehicle is running). I have not noticed any of the issues that everyone is complaining about and I have messed around with just about every feature so far.
