In case you thought installing <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sync">SYNC</a> into <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford">Ford</a> vehicles was a ho-hum-whatever affair, that's not the case - Ford puts a lot of thought into it. The Blue Oval's latest assembly line advance is to have SYNC's infotainment software installed into the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/edge">2011 Ford Edge</a> via WiFi. Made possible by the the latest version of SYNC with WiFi access, the new process allows Ford to save money on parts and inventory by using a common module among vehicles in different cars and made in different plants. After the Edge, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mkx">Lincoln MKX</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/explorer">2011 Explorer</a> will gain the same systems. Follow the jump for the press release.<br />
