maherj Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Looks pretty snappy. That same guy (on youtube) installs a wallpaper on the new MFT system. Not real thrilled with the end result, but it's a small thing. Peace, DM Yeah I'm kinda bummed that there isn't a 'blank' home screen with all the information in the corners. Wallpapers are kinda useless if they are covered up by all of the icons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maherj Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I recommend posting here - http://boards.synccommunity.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=fordsyncmb&tid=5028 Maybe the more people that 'ask nicely' the more they will allow people to upgrade it, even if the NAV system won't work until the upgrade packages come.

c_bova Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 does this add app-link functionality to the edge yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maherj Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 does this add app-link functionality to the edge yet? Not yet. Their main priority was to release this update, I believe it will be worked on if feedback from the performance update is positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWS Alpine Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I really want this update but don't have time to waste at the dealership. Can someone hijack their dealer's flash drive for 30 mins and upload the ISO :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentley789 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Did all of you receive the letter a few months back telling to expect the flash drives soon? I have a 2011 MKX. I am registered on syncmyride, etc, but I did NOT ever get a letter. Should I be concerned and/or plan on doing the dealer install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericcwhitaker Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 So my dealer here in So Cal is actually installing the update for my 2011 Edge as we speak. Here's hoping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpm419419 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I got my Edge in October of 2010. I hope to be one of the first to receive the software. It's already over a year and a half of putting up with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Can anyone who installed this confimr if the heated seats still have two settings or did they go to three like the early images showed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_bova Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 there have been videos that show it's the same 2 settings for the edge. the images you saw were probably not for the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Can anyone who installed this confimr if the heated seats still have two settings or did they go to three like the early images showed? Heated only seats always have 2 settings, heated and cooled seats have 3 settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 K, so here's the dilemma... I have my flash drive back and I wish there were a way to share, but I'm not very interested in personal liability if one of y'all bricks your car, or if Ford wants to prosecute me for file piracy...

l33 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Like a tree in a park? Those that want the update... http://www.madison86.com/mft/mft.htm Now here's the cool thing. The packages are signed by a Ford certificate BUT that covers the code... Ford have included in some of the packages resource files which are SWF (Flash) files for the whole user interface. I believe (I know a bit about this stuff) that this is our hole. I have decompiled some of the flash and sure enough... well... my thoughts here are that I could modify an existing flash file to CALL another new flash file that I can deploy in the update alongside the others. This would allow us to put calls into the Sync system (through the new flash file) that aren't usually exposed. Now this is a big job ahead, but I do think its possible. Certainly enabling things that are only available on the Lincoln on the Ford is easy (I remember in the current version the sound menu was different - this could be easily changed in the Ford package). Anyhow, I'll take a look and see what I can do. Should be fun. Edit: The more I look into this the more wide open this seems to be... I'm sure the zips that contain the resource files and the cab files are not signed in any way which allows us to modify the resources in there (not the cabs or pks files though). If that turns out to be true, a simple change to the SWF file is the gate into the core. Before I'd flash my car though, I'd want to make sure I could reflash or change the SWF file. I'm going to be looking at the update process to see if you can force a package to run again (even when the car is fully up to date). Also I'll be looking at the Sync Apps installer to see what happens there. Maybe some way of just updating an SWF file from USB without running through a whole package update even... who knows. In this update there are a couple of SWF files that aren't used as far as I can tell. Look like test ones (such as GenericApp), there could be some interesting stuff in there. There is an opportunity here to do something cool I think without risking the rest of the system - for example, small modification to one of the existing SWFs to include a tiny button that launches a different SWF file ... our SWF file. That could potentially carry many things ;-) Now, of course, I could be wrong about all of the above! Second Edit: So I said I could be wrong. So shortly after the excitement, I have found something that might kill the plan. It appears that inside the cab file it names the payload in the resources folder... then the dreaded line: % s : Hash checking of files failed . This implies to me that they *do* in fact check the resource files and hash the whole package. If thats true thats a massive spanner in the works. Not going to give up though! I'm now moving my progress over to the Ford sync forum website as I think its more relevant there: http://fordsyncforum.com/index.php?/topic/542-frown-on-hack-posts/page__st__40 Edited March 8, 2012 by l33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatee Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Had the new version done Tuesday by the dealer. The nav screens and graphics are better with updates properly applied to the maps. The entertainment screen is nice but seems a little compressed or distorted in apprearance. I also noticed that the only way to find out what mode the climate control system is in is to actually engage the climate control main screen. The mode otherwise does not display in the bottom right as before, only shows the temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
