Davom97 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 You boys are gutsy. Of course, I don't even know what an ISO file is. I have instructed the wife to buzz me whenever the mailman drops it off at the house. Peace, DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsons66604 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Would love to hear from anyone that was brave enough to download the file and try it themselves I'm not sure if you can classify me as 'brave' or stupid.... I downloaded and installed this morning. Seems to be working well. (during very short commute to work) The BlueTooth Audio meta data works much better. This make Pandora very appealing. I noticed that we can now have images actually display as wallpaper on the home screen. Looks like we can use artwork from MP3 device at the same time as GraceNote. There is an option to set which option has priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWS Alpine Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Nothing to worry about. Same file Ford will be releasing later this week apparently. Just download and check the MD5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpm419419 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Nothing to worry about. Same file Ford will be releasing later this week apparently. Just download and check the MD5. Do both files need to be put on the USB drive or just the top one? Sorry if its a stupid question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 It is reportedly now available on syncmyride.com so you might want to check there first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastman Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) It is reportedly now available on syncmyride.com so you might want to check there first. You are correct. It is available for download now. Also, if you have NAV, it says that they mailed out the upgrade packs today (3/8/12).

jeffdelta Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 After you log in, click on "Get Updates" Thanks, found it. I have navigation, so I guess I need to wait until I get my SD card in the mail so I can upgrade. The screen said it was mailed out today - March 8.

NWS Alpine Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Do both files need to be put on the USB drive or just the top one? Sorry if its a stupid question Unzip the package and copy all the contents over. The MD5 file is just used to validate the package is corretly downloaded and hasn't been tampered with etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screen said it was mailed out today - March 8. From what I have read, you can still upgrade now if you want to get it done early, but Navigation wont work until you get the SD card.

NWS Alpine Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 As an FYI when I updated I just left my car running at work with the keys in it. I locked the doors with the keypad. I checked it at 40 mins and it was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked it at 40 mins and it was done. FYI: there are 2 prompts near the start of the install that require you to hit a button so don't walk off until you see those. From there, it's hands off.

MrHappy Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 When I log in to syncmyride is just says it needs a dealer install and to click there for a printout and that fees may apply!?!? WTF!!?? We're at 2.11 already and have NAV so I am really hoping we get the upgrades in the mail because I want to do it myself and sure am not paying a dealer to do so for warranty work. We never got the letter either... hrmmm, frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never got the letter either... hrmmm, frustrating. That's really bizarre. I suggest you call customer service. The software is up on the site, and I never found a prompt saying there's payment required. Infact, all the press releases say the dealers will do it for free.

fastman Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I downloaded the MFT software from syncmyride.com and installed it in my 2012 Edge. Installed with no problems. As expected, the Nav doesnt work until I get the new SD card, but everything else is great so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 It gets even better with the navigation card. Look forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge535 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I just finished the performance upgrade. Everything went smooth as someone has stated earlier, hang around for about 5 to 10 min before you leave the car.I had to press "ok" on the screen within that time frame. ok now time to *itch again is ford going to send me a $10 gas card for having my engine ideling all this time j/k lol. I dont have the SD map on my edge MFT just the turn by turn directions through sync services so i guess my journey is over for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
