Hopefully we'll be able to have the dealer update them somewhere down the line.
The gauge page is almost criminal. All that space and only tras temp shown. It should show ALL gauges, and boost for eb's

Boost would be cool amongst the digital speedo and such.

Ask anyone with an Edge that has lived through the constant reboots, lockups, not to mention the useability complaints. It's not turning out to be so user friendly after the wow factor wears off, particularly in the non-tactile touch buttons on the dash.

IMHO, the F150 has the perfect blend of touch and physical buttons between the dash, Nav panel and dash LCD. Call it MFT "Light"

Every single person I've talked to with an Edge and MFT has said that once the new wore off, they wished they didn't have it.

Ford hasn't got it quite right yet. There needs to be more tactile feedback, and they have GOT to get the bugs out of it.

I'd like to see OBD2 speed data, average mpg, instant mpg, and rpm all as digital numbers.

I drove a new Explorer this winter. The car was cold and it was well below freezing, windy, and I needed to turn on the defrost. The salesman explained that I'd need to remove my glove to change the environmental controls.

"What wizard thought this was a good idea?" I asked pointing at the dash.

I later found out it was two women engineers Ford hired. Apparently they never thought of anybody ever using the car in the winter.

So, let me get this right. You can't download any other truck apps? There's just those like 2 standard ones and that's it?? How misleading. BOO!
