	  2011 Edge/MKX My Touch and Sync Problemswilsons66604 replied to akirby's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC Ha! Seat heaters?? We are having temps down here that are only topped by the dust bowl era. Still planning on upgrading ...just trying to find the time to be without my car for what will most likely be 2 days. 2 days because I need to get the transmission TSB performed and I think that would take at least a day.

	I would check the install history page on sync my ride. You should see the history of the dealership installing the software. I wonder if they even attempted to install.

	  Automatic Door Lockwilsons66604 replied to firefamily's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim Ya. Toyota's, and most likely many others, work the same way also

	Damn! This would have been a great Lease opportunity! I payed cash. Update: ...and why am I so critical? Man. Did I learn something on this cluster. Thanks for the opportunity FORD. Do you know that most beta testing is done free of charge. What can you do to make it right FORD ?

	Been using MFT for 11 months. I have a freaky feeling that I will be in a wreck soon. (that sucks) At times I think it's safer to text while driving than to use MyFordTouch. Give me iDrive please!!!

	  Automatic Door Lockwilsons66604 replied to firefamily's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim As a user of the 2011 Edge, I've noticed that the doors do lock at speed and when i stop and place in park the doors don't appear to unlock. I'm not sure what happens if I stop at my girl friend's house and honk after putting in Park. I always get out then Yell for her! This '11 Edge has some complicated logic!

	  2011 EDGE CENTER CONSOLE TRAY: GONE !!!wilsons66604 replied to Razorback007's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim Nice "bump" I just might try this. It's too HOT in KS to polish!
- 
	I've never used the steering wheel buttons to navigate. That would be more painful than the touch screen! update: grammer

	  Polish without a machine?wilsons66604 replied to ladybell's topic in Appearance - Detailing, Wash & Wax Go for it! It's fun and you'll appreciate your ride even more. I got my Edge last fall and the first thing I did was clay bar, polish, then seal. I had never attempted to polish a car before cuz I was afraid I would burn the paint off (I used to be a pipefitter that used a side-grinder to grind welds. That's not anything like a orbital buffer). ThePorter Cable orbital buffer made it easy. At no point was I afraid I was going to damage the paint. I got a great finish and have been taking care of it since. I'm over due for another polish but ...it's 115 freakin degrees!!! I'll wait for fall.

	  Care for black paint on 2009 Edgewilsons66604 replied to dwebb2's topic in Appearance - Detailing, Wash & Wax Hey Richy, Would this Nano coating just be a replacement for a sealant? I would still need to polish first....right?

	Blue sounds good and I think it would look good too. UPDATE: If I'm spending the $$$ for pin-striping, I would select a contrasting color. Show it off. How about Blue with a another color to accent the Blue?? I was at a Led Sled car show in Salina, KS Sunday and came across a 55 Dodge (I drove a 55 Dodge Royal for 20+ yrs then my son drove it for 5 more). Check out the striping on the hood... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lj1R8pt3jyQ/TjX1KG15LlI/AAAAAAAAAOY/4j26gwgptP4/s1024/Led%252520Sleds%252520in%252520Salina%252520%25252841%252520of%25252043%252529.jpg

	They could have but why make an extra step to always have to toggle between the two. I like the way they are laid out and I've never hit them by mistake while turning the steering wheel. I don't see how they can get in the way.

	  Care for black paint on 2009 Edgewilsons66604 replied to dwebb2's topic in Appearance - Detailing, Wash & Wax Dodo Juice makes several flavors of carnauba waxes. You pick the flavor based on the color of your paint. For dark paint, there is "Purple Haze" or "Blue Velvet"

	  2011 Edge/MKX My Touch and Sync Problemswilsons66604 replied to akirby's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC Is there any way to revert to Choff's version? What is it, 1.4 or something like that? Or I can wait until the fix is ready....and when is that ?

	  Cargo Area Dog Protectionwilsons66604 replied to spongers's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim I recall a news segment early 2010. They were at the New York auto show and some organization voted the 2011 Edge as the most dog friendly vehicle. My Edge didn't work so well for my 220# Mastiff. He wasn't very agile and didn't like to use a ramp.
- 
	Don't forget to allow for the reclining back seats.
- 
	Good idea to take it to another dealership. All you can do is have them update the software. The software is still buggy but it gets better with every update. If they know what they are doing, an update should only take a few hours. oh, and the iPhone & iPod are compatible. Good Luck
- 
	as far as I know... The Ford privacy shade is the ONLY option.

	  Cargo Area Dog Protectionwilsons66604 replied to spongers's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim ...everything including the canines! Please make sure they are safe.

	  Wind buffeting from rear windowwilsons66604 replied to Doug-J's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim who the heck drives with windows open? In KS we have 106 in the shade or -15 in the winter Thank god the Edge has an awesome AUTO climate setting
- 
	You are not crazy...(yet) That's whats so great about this forum. A person can find a lot of support and understanding of the issues that My Ford Touch users have. If I didn't have the affirmation found on this forum, I would have driven this POS through the showroom window long ago. Damn I like the Edge but give me a Over The Counter audio sytem that works instead of this experiment called MyFordTouch

	  4 day old 2011 Edge Vista Roof Shattered!!!wilsons66604 replied to tneison's topic in 2011 Edge & MKX Ha! you got that right. Focusing on the Edge's defects takes my eye off of my own defects
- 
	I agree. Don't paint the panel. Work a deal with dealership for lifetime service or something. What's a fender repaint worth? plus add the fact that it's a BRAND NEW CAR!!! That ought to be worth a butt load on it's own Don't settle for a set of $50 floor mats.

	  4 day old 2011 Edge Vista Roof Shattered!!!wilsons66604 replied to tneison's topic in 2011 Edge & MKX I agree. You can't deny that this does look like a place of impact. I'm glad it's not a defect because my Edge has a way of finding them
