I would reply to these post but... I might get put on a 2 week forum "timeout" if I say what I know.

If you don't have 2.7 or above, you can't do the 2.11 update yourself.

Good idea. No need to go to 2.11 now. You seem to have had very good luck with your system.

The negative posts would not be so prevalent if the moderator would not argue with the posters. The arguments over opinions are uncalled for and only prolong the discussion.

Very interesting. 2.11 is required to install the new version? Bring it on! I have the 2.11 "pig" installed Currently, to self install an update you have to be on (I think) 2.7.

I'd like to have a fixed MFT. It's been a year and a half and I'm still stuck with this POS. I'd like to have a forum where opinions are excepted for what they are. ...A forum where posts are not deleted if the moderator does not share the opinion. I'd like to be able to participate in a forum where the moderator does not feel compelled to argue with me. I think the first item on this list is more likely to happen than the rest.

Define "only a few" Many have backed off from posting issues here due to being threatened by the "moderator". and..let's not forget the posts that are deleted if they don't share the "moderator's" point of view.

Wrong again. I said nothing about the rewrite Since they first announced MFT in 2010 Jeez

Great! I wasn't too interested in the puddle lamp upgrades but the console & liftgate sounds interesting. Thanks for posting!

That's is strange. MFT is Strange. There seems to be no common problem. Just generally F'd up.

"shortly" is relative. Over 2 yrs since the first announcement. They have yet to meet those promises. Define "Shortly"

Really? I'm not willing to turn my WiFi off. The phone pairs with no problem but the BT Audio his my problem child.

Contact photos do not work from the iPhone 3, 4, or 4s Ford's document listing the supported features for various phones could be misleading. They say iPhone 4 supports contact photos. They never worked for me when I had iPhone 4 on iOS 4.2.1.

WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I enjoyed the comment. and thanked him for it. By the way, stop ridiculing my statements. This is another example of you trying to put a negative spin on what I am posting.

This comment is EPIC and says it all!!! "I think under special conditions it works well." Thanks for the laugh!

Careful! Sync and My FordTouch are two separate platforms. Sync works great and has the Apps Link feature. MFT is the buggy one.

Cool "coming soon" I wonder what they mean by "soon"

I think you need to get out of this walled garden and see how the rest of the public feels about MFT. Try Face Book for example. On that forum, people are free to express their opinions without being chastise for what they post.

You can find issue with every car. That doesn't help MY issues wit MFT Heck. I had my dealership tell me I was out of luck too.

I beg to differ. Lives ARE at stake. Lives are lost every day in auto accidents. The malfunctioning MFT can cause people to take their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel. This is dangerous and could cause an accident. I remind you that Ford uses the tag line but their own MFT system goes against the philosophy of "hands on the wheel & eyes on the road" Comparing the price of an airplane to a car...should a more expensive vehicle be more safe than a less expensive vehicle? Ford has done a very good job of keeping the real MFT issues quiet. If the general public knew about the issues before purchasing, then it would be a different story. I've seen many posts on this and other forums where a new buyer drives off the lot only to find that the system defective. I'm not sure where you come up with 80% requirement for a major FAIL. I still call it a major FAIL.

Really there is no difference. Wether you have problems 5% of the time or 80% of the time. Anything over 0% is unacceptable. I think Ford's CEO Alan Mulally would understand this. Hell, he designed the 777 cockpit. Do you think he would have accepted 2 lockups in 2 months in his aircraft? This malfunctioning MFT should not be taken lightly. Aircraft or autos...people's lives are at stake here. I hope to hell that I don't kill someone because I'm preoccupied with my F'd up MFT. The tag line for Ford Sync is Hands on the wheel and Eyes on the road With MFT, my hands are off the wheel & my eyes are off the road. This is a major FORD FAIL and I don't understand why some people still try to sweep it under the carpet.

Your last statement about the audio source is spot on. I'm not so sure about the hyper statements though. My personal experience (16 months. 20k + miles) it doesn't matter how long I give the system to boot up. MFT decides to randomly pick features to fail. Ex. My iPod has been the car since day one. No new music added but MFT decides to render it unusable cuz it's indexing. Voice response...I hit the button and she answers me 5 minutes later. I'm sure you will realize these features as the months go on.

Kirby. You are mis-interpreting what I am saying. I'm not holding my breath for the release and will believe it when i see it.

I visited the SyncMyRide site and am blasted with this big ad for AppLink. What? Can't they tell I have an Edge? On a similar note: The people at TWiT still have Ford as a sponsor however they no longer mention My Ford Touch. It's all about Sync and App Link.

It's good that they borrowed a beta testing process. Too bad they didn't ask "real people" on this forum about their experiences before they attempted to "fix" it. The press release raved about the bigger buttons and larger clock as well as "fixing" the Nav. Those are the least of my issues and I bet they are realizing it after having real beta testers use it. Look for the 2013 Focus to rollout with a new "performance upgrade" version that is still buggy. Just as they did with my 2011Edge.
