OK. Thanks I'll check. I assume you are talking about behind the liner. I don't want anything to show in the cab.
 
I'll let you know. Also, I am back at the dealer tomorrow. Both the phone and the ipod sometimes fail to re-initialize when functions are changed. The service guy who knows Sync says there most likely is an update.

I also ordered in May - the 7th and I am getting the same word from my dealer that he has heard nothing from his Ford rep.

I ordered my FEH FWD Limited (with NAV & steps) on May 8th and got my VIN on July 21st from my dealer.
 
To date this is my progress:
 
Receipt Date: 5/9/2008
Serialize Date: 7/18/2008
Segment Date: 7/18/2008
Sequence Date: 7/22/2008
Blend Date: 8/11/2008
Produced Date: 8/20/2008
Gate Release Date: 8/22/2008
Ship Date: 8/22/2008
Arrival Date:
Sold Date:
 
Last report from my dealer is that it is still sitting in the KC railyard - and the FORD phone system reports the arrival is now 9/11 ( )...However, I think this was just FORD hedging their timeline and not over promising delivery the week of September 1st because production was delayed three days - hopefully I'll see the thing next week sometime!

Thanks ursacat - I'm not sure if you have a flickr, photobucket or villagephotos account, but any of those is fine - I'm looking very forward to taking a look at your photos. Thanks for doing that!

OK. It was a busy weekend. I'll take photos this week and post on flcker.
 
Couple of note:
 
I am averaging about 31 around town. Not bad.
 
I have pushed the limits of MS Sync (Sync my ride) and have found some minor bugs that I've been discussing with Ford. Basically, sometimes my iPod (Touch) does re-initialize properly after a phone call is ended (Blackberry 8800) so I have to resync from the Menu/USB/Sync. Not a big deal but I spoke with Ford Sync Specialist and they have alrady released a minor upgrade that we can all download via our laptop w/ the USB port. I'm holding off for another few months until v 1.1 is released.... I think it's way cool to be able to update the software/firmware myself. But I'm a Engineer....!

What's the SYNC update process like? Is it anything like updating the firmware on a wireless router? If a person is comfortable doing something like a router's firmware update, would they be able to do the upgrade of SYNC to 1.1 themselves?

I've looked on this site a number of times to get some clue about how the orders get processed. It's been illuminating. I ordered mine blind (from overseas) on 6/13 from Willey Ford (Bountiful, UT) via the Internet. I've never even test driven a standard Escape! Received VIN and order # on 8/15 with an anticpated delivery of 9/15 -9/22. So 3 months if things work to plan. My vehicle package includes the NAV system. Never had that so I'm excited. Keep posting your gas mileage info and other impressions...they do help me and others. I'll do the same when I take delivery. Ciao!

Where are you getting the updates for Sync? I am picking up my escape hybrid tonight and have tried to use the VIN to register at the sync website, but it will not let me.... any suggestions?

It will not let me register my VIN either. I called Ford late last week and they said it was a known issue and are trying to fix so we can enter our VIN's. Hell, they don't even have the 09 FEH on their website or listed in Syncmyride
