Hello everyone, I’ve been following this thread with a lot of interest — great work from all of you digging into the 360 retrofit! I’ve been wanting to achieve a similar result, but I decided to take a different approach. I went with a third-party 360 AVM kit and set it up to integrate with the SYNC screen on my 2023 Ford Edge. There really isn’t anything compatible out of the box with the Edge, but I noticed the Edge and Ranger share similar hardware and modules. And notice I said similar — not the same. It’s been a long process — I’ve done tons of research and a fair amount of trial and error to figure out the video inputs, CANBUS integration, and DIP switch configurations needed to get everything displaying correctly with the factory screen and triggers. With this I do have dynamic guidelines, parking sensors, multiple views along with the top-down bird view. Also I did retain the factory camera and camera view, and I can jump between factory view and 360 kit view. It’s still a work in progress, but going this route gives me more flexibility compared to being locked into the OEM restrictions. I’ll share more updates as I continue refining the setup. Next steps will be to mount all the cameras

I don't think they are " one-time use " either but Ford is being cautious. It's like saying, on older cars, every time you change the oil you have to change the oil drain plug gasket. Not a true statement. It's very tight in there to remove that PTU cover plate without moving anything else. I chose to buy a MityVac unit specifically for vacuuming out the gear fluid. Sucked it almost dry. I used another MityVac unit, so I didn't have to clean them in-between same-time uses for the PTU, to pump the new gear oil in. Took the correct amount of fluid as specified in the manuals. ( That's why I said it sucked it dry ) And, of course, a lot less messier.

Happy to be aboard. I own a 2018 Edge Titanium.

Hello, picked up a 2020 Edge ST last week and looking forward to digging into what it is all about. Have a 2013 Focus ST that I’ve worked and modified quite a bit. Hope to find some good info and share anything I can.

My 2024 has the cooler, and I used the suction method to get the fluid out. I wanted to remove the cooler but the studs to remove it are basically impossible to get a socket or wrench on so I gave up.

I confirmed with Bellevue Ford tech that their service manual says the same about adding 1L once full to the 2019+ ST.

I have a 24 Ford edge and just recently noticed the parking brake applied itself when shutting off the car in my driveway (slight incline). Is this a feature on the car or a malfunction?

i had slotted rotors on one vehicle, created a bad bearing buzz type of sound when i got on the brakes. never again, unless i was actually doing a race prep build

Inch/pounds (in/lbs) is a very common torque value for smaller, more delicate parts with smaller fasteners.

Welcome and congrats!

Next time i go work on it I'll definition check if the instrument cluster is plugged in. Where abouts is would I find that plug? I really don't know where to go from here. I'm thinking of just bringing it in to a shop to see if they can figure it out. I just need to know what to change. Electrical diagnosis is my kryptonite. I appreciate any direction.

I just thought I would write a quick post about some maintenance that I performed yesterday. I am on my second edge ST now coming from a 2020 to a 2024. I've got about 16,500 miles currently. Yesterday I did a complete fluid change. The radiator fluid tested fine and was pretty easy to swap. The rear differential was very dark, almost black and the new fluid is a caramel color so it was definitely at the end of its life. The PTU wasn't as bad, but definitely a dark, dark brown whereas the new fluid again is a caramel color. I also figured that it would be a good idea to do a transmission drain and fill since I've been getting a hard 1-2 shift. The transmission fluid definitely had a slightly burnt smell to it and was nearly black and the new fluid is a red color. Just a heads up to anybody who is wondering about the maintenance intervals that Ford recommends, I would definitely do them early. I got all of those fluids from rock Auto for about $100.

My 2024 has the cooler as well. There was a previous thread where someone pulled the cooler out just enough to let the fluid drain out and put it back in using the same studs and o ring. One disadvantage to the cooler: it takes up more space in the ptu, reducing fluid capacity. Not sure how beneficial circulation 200 degree (plus) through the cooler could do much to help.

Good to know. Hopefully the front camera will come next. I already had the rear camera replaced before under the extended warranty, not sure if the replacement would also be subject to the recall. Found more info on the recall here.

The malfunction seems to be more infrequent, but good that I haven't bought a replacement camera yet because a second recall notice just showed up on my CarFax. Got two recalls now, the rear brake hoses and the backup camera.

Found this 2013 Edge sel 2.0 ecoboost and had to have it.. So far it's been good to me.

I've got 4 new seals in their original packaging and a good used plug from my wife's Mustang which we no longer have - free to a good home if you pay the USPS. Also a good deal on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CGMPX2?creative=9325&camp=1789&linkCode=ur2&ie=UTF8&tag=slickdeals09-20&ascsubtag=f7a9e07c910011f08c5a9683d2ab67590INT&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1#averageCustomerReviewsAnchor

Changed the fluid in the 2019 Edge ST today. 45k miles on it, fluid looked a touch red still and didn't stink. No metal shavings. TFT up to ~185 Drained 4.7 qt / 4.44 L Added 5.28 qt / 5 L per FSM TFT up to >185 Pulled leveling plug and drained .68 qt / .650 L out (until fluid dripped down side of case) Added 1.05 qt / 1 L after leveling plug back in (??? its what FSM said so I did it ..) No idea if I was low to begin with but I followed the FSM exact. 2022 Edge ST Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill (2).pdf 2019_edge_transmission.pdf

Hello, all! It's good to find an active forum for just the Edge. I don't join many forums, but this one seems to be of a high quality and has great participation. I hope I am able to provide my own helpful information and add to the discussions in a positive way. BTW, I have a 2020 Edge ST in Rapid Red with the performance brake package.

The little things matter 😉 Added glove box compartment light back in the Edge. Don't know why Ford deleted it in the first place. Scored a 2017 Edge glove box lamp harness and damper from the junkyard. With a little bit of DIY (dremel action & soldering), swapped out the LED PCB for a brighter aftermarket one. I made a T-harness to tap into the passenger side (visor) vanity mirror lamp circuit. Ran that down the psngr side A-pillar all the way to the glove box.

Car is over five years old so I'm thinking it's probably good to replace the original factory battery. Question is, what does every one think is the best replacement? I understand that it should be an H6 or Group 48 AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery but beyond that I'm not sure what the best choice would be. I know I could go right to my local Ford dealer but I suspect that might be the most expensive option. What should I do?

I would go with the H6 AGM Everstart Platinum from Walmart. Be sure to reset your battery monitoring and select a new battery code if you change size and type.

i replaced my 2011 camera with a "less than 100" dollar camera from amazon. got great reviews and had an amazing picture .. so much better than the original. but 2 years later it had gotten fuzzy and not so good. this was parked in a carport. i sold the car so not sure how it is today. but i would try to get the best camera i could afford.

At worst, the only warranty denial Ford can apply is if they can show if the tune was the result of the engine or engine-related part failure. All other warranty items will still be covered. Doesn't matter if you have the extended warranty or not. Now, if Ford says that's the issue / reason, you are really out of luck unless you want to fight Ford Corporate lawyers. Depends on your Dealer as they have discretion on informing Ford regarding issues and warranty work.

I know the thread is oldish but for others wondering how to get the AT out of the "manual mode" - press and hold the right hand side paddle (keep some 2-3 seconds) and it will blink on the dash and switch back to full auto. This is what i can see in my 2022 ST. Cheers!

Seems sketchy to me. Ford truck forums had discussion about this, seems xfr cases explode when Mercon V was used. In-fact, if you look at the back of the Mercon V container, it specifically states "not for use in transfer cases". Guess it's ok to use to clean out case, but I wouldn't run it more than a few miles. There was also a discussion on BITOG about a mechanic using ATM in a MKX. Told client that's what they all use. Of course the guy was an idiot, PTUs that use use ATM are built differently and use a lot more fluid. Our PTUs only use a few onces and sit right next to the cat. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/2011-lincoln-mkx-ptu-oil-vs-atf.318911/ I've read several guys are well satisfied with Redline Lightweight Shock Proof fluid. Couple switched because the Motorcraft turned to a grease consistency too quickly. I just have the dealer change the fluid every couple of years. No way I'd run ATF in there however.

The only real downsides to using trans fluid are that trans fluid does not have the same film strength, sheer stability or viscosity.., but if you're going to keep on it for maintenance, it will not be a problem. Probably. Just know that a leak will empty it much faster than it would with OEM fluid, and the grease that was in there (dried up gear lube) had more lubricity to it than the film left behind by transmission fluid if it leaked out. the right side seal should be monitored closely. I'm curious how this will turn out. Keeps us updated?

I ordered a cooler plug, Ford PN: K2GZ-7A010-M last week even though the parts guy assured me that it was a single part and not a kit. It came in today and is indeed a kit containing the plug with o-ring PN: K2GP-7A747-MA as well as the "bolts", PN: W90462-S900

Right but they likely just sucked the fluid out which won't remove all of the metallic debris from the case. Note that the PN for the cooler plug shown in the diagram is incorrect, the -B shown is actually the fill plug. SMH..

I'm still here. I've grown to appreciate the edge more. I'd even consider getting a new one. Coming from the rocket ships I was driving before this it was a bit of a shock. I still have several dislikes. I hate the dash cluster, I hate sync, and I hate that the car has zero audible exhaust note. But I love the interior, and now that my Scat Packs that I paid 41k for (46-48k sticker) are laughably being sold for 65k. I appreciate the edge st more. I would NEVER pay 65k for a dodge charger or challenger with the garbage interior quality that mine had. I love the sound system on the edge, best I've ever heard in a car, I love the headlights, I love the sunroof, I love the handling, I love the versatility, I love the looks, I love the self driving features, I love the front camera, I love the color... there are a lot of things I love. Once I realized that this was an suv and that 5.7s 0-60 is pretty respectable my attitude changed. Also owning the car for a year (still only has 5k miles on it) and having no issues other than a chipped windshield that nobody knows how to properly replace (had it done twice, and neither time they got the seal right. Second time they dented the hood (but PDR folks are thankfully magicians). I got the Motorola ma1 for wireless Android auto and thay helped a lot with mitigating the buggy nature of sync not picking up on my USB stored music. My neighbor has a Durango RT and it's way slower than the edge but it sounds so much better. I just don't understand why Ford gave such a quiet exhaust on an ST. Oh I'm also still not a huge fan of the transmission, it has some rough shifts here and there. I don't regret my purchase though. Idk how I got a brand new fully loaded edge ST for just about 41k. All of the 2022s are 55k+ now. My car was built in late December 2020 is a 2020 model year. I have a feeling it was supposed to be a 2021 but they didn't have the screen to make it a 2021 so they just made it a 2020 with the old screen. I don't think I'd spend 55k on the edge st honestly, since you can get other slightly slower but equally equipped cars for much much cheaper but for what I paid there is absolutely nothing comparable on the road. I often defend the Edge ST against people who say "it's not an ST" idk what world those people are living in but the ST Focus and Fiesta were never fast cars. I think the ST focus did 0-60 in 6.5 seconds, which the edge beats. After doing the ST SUV Experience I'm well aware of the handling abilities of this car, it's amazing. Oh one more thing that bugs me but is not uncommon for performance cars, I wish this had adjustable steering. The wheel is very heavy which is good for around town precision driving but very tiring on long road trips. Not too bothersome for me since I rent a car anytime I go more than 250 miles round trip but...

This isn't normal, never had this happened since owning it. Every new car has start stop. Lift your foot a touch or get a disable chip. It's the same for all new vehicles. I get 35 mpg on the highway, 25 pushing a good wind. City varies greatly by my foot, typically 14-18. Pretty good for an suv. Sure my buddies v8 camaro can match that at times but it isn't as much of a brick and has a lot less frontal area. He also can't as easily seat 4-5 people as comfortably. Don't use a usb stick so can't comment on that Because of people claiming ignorance of not turning that feature off and having their vehicle stolen. Fake engine noise, meh won't be surprised it becomes a feature on all electric cars too and ford isn't the only one to do it. It actually does have an exhaust note, sure it's not loud and obnoxious but I can easily tell it started from inside the house. there is alot of sound insulation in these things keeping the sound out of the cabin. The x5 is a rear drive platform, totally different layout forces and power distribution. The performance brakes were mostly softer pads and better venting to keep them cool. It's intended to reduce brake fade under abuse mostly not necessarily on the street. It's like saying, and this is an extreme example, saying carbon ceramic brakes suck and you only drive on the street. It's not really what it was intended for even if it's sold as such. The edge has it's flaws like very tough torque management, other manufacturers are guilty of this, off the start, fit and finish, etc. There is always something better no matter what you buy. If you choose to buy a cheaper option there are always sacrifices. Spending 10k or 20k more to some might not seem like a lot to some for others it is. The package on the edge is a good compromise of performance and tech for the price. Some might argue but that's my opinion.
