First, if have no intention of using your cell phone or iPod on the road. Then you don’t need Sync and you never need to use it.

Second. Here in NJ, a hands free cell system is required. Sync is by far the easiest auto Bluetooth system on the market.

Using your phone with Synch only requires to to pair your phone ONCE. After that initial pairing, Sync will find your phone whenever you start the car. You do nothing! (depending on your phone).

THIRD. No voice recognition training is required!

FORTH. IMHO the best part about Sync is that it “syncs” your phones contact list, up to 2000 contacts.

In contrast, pairing a phone with the Nissan factory system is a pain. PLUS you have to train it to use voice recognition AND you have to program your contacts into the car AND you can only do this for 20 contacts!

If you do use your cell phone in the car, and you are interested in getting a bluetooth system so that you can do this legally, take a look at Sync.

Conclusion, Sync will sell Fords.

Actually, the front brakes on my 2007 AWD edge are vented and the rear discs are not….

It is my opinion that the braking issues on the 2007 Edge are related more to the suspension tuning, ABS programming and hard cooper tires…

Most people never think about the suspension in braking, but it can have a huge effect on stopping distances. Sharp nose dive in a vehicle transfers almost all of the weight to the front wheels. This cause the rear brakes have little ability to help stop due to lack of friction and the ABS kicks in to prevent wheel lockup. I have noticed that under sharp braking, the nose of my 2007 Edge dives sharply. I’ll bet and hopfully prove in the near future that progressive spring and shocks will solve the braking issue…

I am willing to bet that the 2008 Edge has a little firmer front suspension tuning and better tires…
