OnTheFence Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Hi wondering why the applink ability isn't on the Edge? Wouldn't that be a software feature on the MFT system and not hardware/vehicle specific? Ideas?

OnTheFence Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Looks like no one knows. I'm "off the fence" and picked up my 2013 Sport yesterday and logged into syncmyride.com owner to owner forums and there is a lot of bitching about the selective models that have applink and those that don't. Some people are saying that even the Lincoln's don't have applink, and Ford gives no good reason as to why that is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I think the ones that have it have extra controls on the steering wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Betcha that's not available to Canadians! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybird4 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 The reason is it is not compatible with the MyFord Touch system. There are no extra controls. Applink only works with some Sync equipped vehicles that have the specific software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shantz Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 All the good stuff is 'not available' to Canadians. (or anyone with an iphone for that matter too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacyon Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I just noticed another function that should be universal to MFT and is not. If you have the backup camera, and have the "guides" (green, yellow, & red lines) enabled, on the Edge they're static and NEVER move. On the flex .. if you back up and turn they "warp" left or right to project your path. Besides programming, a steering wheel position sensor would be needed. I'd think that the sensor would be in the Edge as well .. but haven't cared enough to look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
