I have noticed my rear camera seems to have a few levels of detail. Initially, the quality is poor then after a few seconds I've noticed it switch into a higher quality mode and looks great. It acts like it has some kind of dynamic iris that works as reliable as the My Touch system

Hot Damn! I like the little dog. Any idea how we can select the wizard we like??

This lower plastic was one reason I opted for a non-Sport model. I figured it could stand up to my rough treatment better than the Sport's body kit. Don't they make repair kits for this stuff? Like some kind of filler?

this is handy. I was wondering what it would take to rip the console apart. thanks

Just got the rubber mats for the Edge (CarPartsEstore). Nice! I like the fact that they cover the left foot rest. ALSO...A one piece rear mat. I didn't know that was included. Nice surprise.

My dealer's service manager called to tell me that they were instructed to do nothing with the My Touch. He says Ford told them that updating the software now will kill the system. Ford is still trying to fix this. Jeez !

The Jukebox is a thing of the past. The two USB ports is what you have instead.

This is a good question and not a silly one. The safely remove option on a computer is to ensure that nothing is being written to the USB. Sync isn't writing anything so yank it out! If you still feel uncomfortable with that, turn the car off first.

I've had time when no voice commands were understood or even heard. Other times, I've resorted to talk as though I just took a big hit off of a helium balloon. Most of the time it works pretty darn good.

I've found that once the Touch system gets so overwhelmed with errors, it will give up and reboot on it's own. Pulling fuse 29 is handy if you don't want to wait that long. What a cluster that we've resorted to this. Ford need to communicate with the Edge owners soon!

I agree Z. This is a bit more than just the in-dash radio acting up.

I also noticed that the radio does work before the Touch reboot is done. That may be because some systems like the radio are still running on the Sync system. The Touch system (8' screen) is a separate system. You may notice from time to time that the 4" Sync screen is not in sync with the 8" Touch screen (ie not the same audio sources are displayed on both screens). Ford tries to make it look like one system but it's clear that they it's not.

Very interesting info. Thanks -z They did rush this to market. Ford Marketing was leading the cart not the Edge. If the software can't handle the full feature set with all devices, it needs to disable those features with those devices and stop pretending it works.

Someone needs to let Ford know that there have been 2 new iPhones releases since the 3g was 2 1/2 years ago. This list doesn't include the MyTouch features. "Auto Phonebook Download" is said to work with iPhones ..that is if all you want are phone numbers and not pictures and addresses I wonder where the My Ford Touch list is. I've happened upon this list in the past. It's not easy to find.

If you haven't lived with the Touch system for several weeks it's hard to get a good feel for just what is wrong. To me, it is clear that the Touch system has software problems. It acts as though there is a memory leak with the programming. Depending on the device and the features you use on a regular basis (ie BT Audio), the Touch finally get's over whelmed and starts acting up. ending up in finally rebooting. Let's hope the software update will have improved error correction and memory management to help deal with all devices. I understand that not all Touch features will work with all devices but Touch should be able to operate without locking up and rebooting.

Oh, I see. It's OK for you to bash the cell phone mfrs.

(this is NOT required reading) OK, I'm back from vacation. My Service Mgr called to tell me they should be getting the software update Monday

I'm glad you were able to find and pull the fuse. (I did drop it and the puller behind the kick panel once but I was able to retrieve it) The contacts photos (and addresses) only show if you have a BlackBerry or a few other lesser known phones. Not supported on iPhones.

No surprise that I agree with you but be careful! The few who are happy tend to gang up on the ones that have the issues.

Do Android phones work with the MyTouch? I seem to recall people having issues getting BT Audio I'm trying to locate a modern phone that is works without MyTouch issues

Keep us posted. (holding back payment doesn't work for those who paid cash)

Does anyone know of a current list of supported phones??

I agree. Can't they ALL JUST GET ALONG?

Has anyone had the opportunity to use a Windows Phone 7 device with Your Ford Touch? I wonder if the Microsoft branded phone will help the Touch to perform better.

iOS 4.2 delayed until next week :-(
