Ford Sync software

[ginamshearer]

Hi,

I wanted to know if any one has heard whether or not the new Ford Sync software (offered on the 2008 models) can be installed in the 2007 Edge models with the Navigation system?

The SYNC system is far more than software. It will have a USB or similar port to plug in your MP3 player (more than the audio plug only that the current radios have), a hard drive to store music and/or other data on, and the bluetooth connectivity hardware. I don't see how there is any way it could be installed in an exisiting vehicle unless Ford makes it available as a separate add-on dealer intalled accessory.

I just got my Edge a couple of weeks ago and it has SYNC. My salesman said SYNC will be available as an aftermarket installation in late December or the first quarter of 2009. They have to wait until the exclusive agreement expires between Ford and Microsoft. He did say it would be an expensive installation of somewhere in the neighborhood of US $600 - $700 .
