curlysir Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 On an unrelated topic, driving in to work this morning doing about 40KPH in city traffic when a pick truck stopped suddenly. I reacted quickly but also the red light on my dash flashed, something I wasnt expecting :hyper: Working just like it is supposed too, should have preloaded your brakes for you also. Have had mine activate a couple of times under similar conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I believe the dealers can download to a flash drive or hard drive, then do the update from there. At least that's what I remember from someone who got the original update last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greener Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 For the question if any Canadians with the update letter.... I have a 2011 Edge Ltd built mid November 2010. I have not received any letter and the dealer shows no update available.

curlysir Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Well, I just picked it up and my phone connects and BT Audio works good. I'll test it some more later. Does your clock work correctly? and is your calendar correct? I am going to have to call my dealer Monday, My wife missed her Soap Opera today because the clock was off :yup: and wants the clock fixed! I know I can set it manually and that is what I have done for now, but I am getting tired of waiting for the fix and now this.

I had to tell it that we were in that stupid daylight savings crap though. The system seems to retain the last used audio source now. Before, it was a crap shoot on what I got. AM or Sirius or USB...throw the dice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system thinks it is November, 2030 and their is on way to manually set it. And the system will not not set the correct date. I am thinking about pulling the fuse. Will take it in for the update when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlysir Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Got my update letter today. Edge was purchased in October 2010. Are they staggering the updates? On a semi related topic: The Syncmyride.com site will not work correctly with Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox 4, I cannot access the update portion of the website with the new versions of the browsers, tried it on another computer with the old versions and no problem. Appears they keep the website updated about as well as they do MFT. Edited March 26, 2011 by curlysir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cirockets Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I was concerned about that myself. So I updated FF and kept the older IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatee Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Mine was build at the end of January with V2.4 factory installed. I recently noticed the clock would be incorrect usually displaying 11:56am no matter what time it was.. This has happened 4 times already. The first 3 times it corrected itself after shutting the system down, the last time required a manual correction by me. Now I am starting to worry. Is this the beginning of what is many more problems to come? I am almost afraid to let them work on it in fear of the dealer causing more harm to an otherwise great system.

cptampa Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Well, everything had been going great with my 2011 Edge Sport until this weekend. I turned the car on after running into the store and my screen went blank. No audio, no navigation, no back up camera - similar to what many have posted here. MFT version was the latest at 2.4. Took it into the dealer today and they confirmed it needs a new APIM. Hope to have it back tomorrow and we'll see how it goes from there. This forum has been extremely helpful in understanding the issues (and many of the challenges). Thanks to everyone for posting and sharing your experiences. I still think the Edge is a great vehicle and hope that this minor setback is just that....minor! Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilsons66604 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) glad to hear the good news... so far It was bound to happen... Sync would not recognize USB2 this morning or connect to BT Audio. I stopped the car, turned off the ignition and opened the door. Started the car and BT Audio was back but still no USB2. I wonder what these update are doing. I would think that they would be able to get the basics working by now. I wonder if I ought to request a new APIM cuz my system has been nothing but flaky since day 1 (6 mo ago) Edited March 29, 2011 by wilsons66604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpm419419 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I just dropped my car off for the update. The tech writer said that there may be an even newer update then the 2.7. I'll let you know how I make out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you by any chance have problems with your clock or calendar? Basically that's my only lingering issue, which is not really a big issue anyway. However, I will get an update to correct it when/if one becomes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically that's my only lingering issue, which is not really a big issue anyway. However, I will get an update to correct it when/if one becomes available. Have to say I had no real issues other than the entire phone book not being shown when trying to enter 911 Emergency contact #'s. I did pair my phone and re downloaded my phonebook (same issue with 911 contacts) I will not be using the car until tomorrow but from the few minutes I played with it I really don't see any real improvement with key function speed. I'll know better tomorrow. Everything seems to work OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpm419419 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 OK so i went out this morning in 27 degree weather. Screen was responsive and functions like the seat warmers worked quickly. I do see an improvement in responsiveness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see an improvement in responsiveness Tom, that's a start. You'll probably have to drive it for a week or two to determine if any of the past problems crop up again. Good luck.

cptampa Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Just came back from picking up my Edge, after the APIM was replaced. I'm happy to report that everything is working perfectly. I've tested most of the functions and will try out the remaining ones tomorrow, but so far, so good! I also realized how much I missed my Edge after driving an Escape for 3 days....yuck! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
