akirby Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Did you have to use the USB stick to install missing files or was everything contained from the D/L on the SMR site? Just worried that when I go there they have a Nav, No Nav selection and wasn't sure if the installer would look to see what version was installed before proceeding. It's the same software - I think they just give you a warning that if you have Nav and do the download your Nav won't work until you get the SD card in the mail or go to the dealer.

Good to know. When i was working with the Ford CS manager he made it sound like there were different files or programs loaded on nav cars so I wasn't sure.

I think for Nav to work it will use some of the files on the Myford Touch software included in the update. However even the cars without Nav will have those needed files. That is why there is a possibility that Nav could be a dealer installed option down the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastman Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Should be on its way. I leased my '11 on december 10th. Mine came Yesterday. I called Ford to inquire about my upgrade package. The system showed the correct mailing address, but didnt show it had been mailed yet. She then asked if I had received the letter telling me the upgrade was coming, which I never received. This seemed to concern her, so she setup a "re-send" of the upgrade package to make sure I get one. UPDATE: Package came today (3/21) Edited March 22, 2012 by fastman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny2525 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Got home today and found the SHINY BLUE ENVELOPE on the table!!! Was so excited. Installing the update as I write this :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc4sgr Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Got my package on Friday. All I can say is the install was a breeze I would say 45 minutes. The outcome is HEAVEN the system is exactly what you expected it to be when you bought the car. Feels great to have everything function as it should IMMEDIATELY So far I am very happy its like having a new car. I do love the new look too, fits the car better IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsap Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Since the update has anyone else experienced ultra thin lines that represent the real-time traffic? The colored traffic lines now look like they are just barely peaking out from behind the thick highway lines. Frustrating.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen green line so far, I'm hoping that yellow or red is more obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgieguy Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Started to think that Ford forgot about me, but I got one in the mail today. We'll see how long it takes to get one for the Explorer now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) How could Ford forget about you. Look at it this way, you just got it today, so you have the LATEST one ( Cute, aren't I ) Let us know how long it took, and if you are happy with the upgrade & changes.

rwolson Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I noticed that too. I've only seen green line so far, I'm hoping that yellow or red is more obvious I saw RED on Thursday night; they're thin like the green lines. I checked out the traffic alerts to find out exactly where to the "accident" I drove through the alleged location only to find traffic beginning to move.

josecuervo Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 FYI for those waiting for their packet, I just called syncmyride and they told me that I was not on the list to get one in the mail, for some reason. I have a 2011 edge SEL w/ nav and the person insisted I had to download and install it myself and go to the dealer for an SD card, and that not everyone would be getting the update in the mail. I argued with them for a bit that it was pretty inconvenient to go to the dealer when they could just mail me the update, and eventually they gave in. But - apparently you can't assume you will be getting the update in the mail. It looks like I'm at the end of the list for the update now though, 15 day wait.

Hmm.....I believe the only ones not getting a package are the ones that REQUIRE dealer upgrade and you should get a letter stating that. Interesting to see whether it works for you or not. But if you can download the software and all you have to do is swing by the dealer and pick up the SD card that would seem to me to be a lot quicker.

She definitely said I could do it myself so there is no dealer upgrade required. I just don't have time to go out to the dealer between work/kids/etc. to get the SD card.

Not sure why she didn't just say it had been mailed, would have cleared things up quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbrandon Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 After the update my Ipod playlist is all out of order. I used to be able to click browse and click my playlist, but now it's like shuffling my list even though I didn't click shuffle. It's really frustrating because every time I run my Ipod the songs are in a different order. I can't figure out how to fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davom97 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yeahhhhhhh for South Florida!!!!!!!!! Patiently waiting for mine... I should have been more careful what I wished for. Got mine yesterday and today my Edge is at the dealer. Disastrous waste of time. I posted my experience here. Assuming I pick get my car back today, I'll have more to tell... My experience with Ford has been Touching so far to say the least. Peace, DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmodifyd Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 recieved my package yesterday! well...I already have had the update for a week or so (downloaded from syncmyride.com and picked up a SD card from dealer) Any ideas of what I should do with the USB stick and Nav SD card? Maybe format the USB stick and use it as a thumbdrive sporting the ford logo....but what about SD card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You format your SD card then say goodbye to your maps. The maps don't get installed on to your car's sync. Sync reads the maps of the SD card.

Mine says he has to since he needs to pay for it when ordering. He does acknowledge he would reimburse me when I bring in the one I "should" receive from Ford.
