  1. Got it into the dealer today. They installed a 3rd party alarm, not a ford one, which is ok with me. The antenna/button/light is part of the alarm, the blue light was flashing all the time due to a bad wire during install. They fixed the wiring, checked all connections and reprogramed the unit. The blue light is only supposed to come on when alarmed or in valet mode. The button is used for multiple systems. It can be used as an override button for going into and out of vlaet mode. If I had the disply fobs (which the edge does not have) a person could be in the car and press call and talk to the person with the display key fob. Sorry to get everyone worked up, the dealer apologized for the mistake on the install and no documentation. Got a tank of gas for my time. Bill

  3. My Wife requested that the Ford Alarm be installed during the purchase. She did not get a book with it. It uses the Ford all in one key/key fob that now comes with the Edge instead of the two piece key and fob on a key ring. I have not had time to play with it cause she is off having fun with the Edge. I am going to the dealer next week to get the book on the alarm (so I will know whos it is) and I will let everyone know the manufacturer. I apologize that I forgot to say we had the alarm installed Bill
  4. [Talked to the dealer last night. The antenna is for the alarm. The blue light is for alarm activity. So they dont drill a hole in the dash anymore for the activity light. Need to go get the manual and have the alarm checked. Most alarms I have had in cars, the light goes out when disarmed. This one keeps flashing. Bill
  5. We were looking for a car that would fit 4 people comfortably, tow 2 jetskis, and keep my wife happy. Her old car was a Mustang convertable. She loved the openess when the top was down for driving. The BAMR the Edge has gave her that feeling enough to want one. For me I fit in the Edge much better than the mustang, plus it is eaiser to get in and out of.
  6. No Aftermarket stereo's Factory Navigation installed, Homlink on the visor. The device is stuck hard the the windshield, so I cant get it off to check for a manufacturer. Still havent heard from the dealer yet. It is 2008 Edge Limited AWd Seating Flexibility Package Premium Package Sync Voice Activated system Class II Trailer Tow Package Panoramic Vista Roof Navigation System Power Lift Gate Rear Cargo Management Sirius Sat Radio
  7. The Edge had 27 miles on it when the wife drove it off the lot. I have a call into the dealer. One thing that came to mind is it could be the dealers lot alarm system that they forgot to take off. I have pressed the call button and nothing happens. As soon as I find out what it is I will let everyone know. Bill
  8. No it is an Edge. Here is a couple of pictures of the antenna and light that blinks. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?aut...si&img=1063 http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?aut...si&img=1062 Bill

  10. Anyone have a link to the factory alarm system manual. ? I am calling the dealer tommorow for one. Bill
  11. Just got my wife a 2008 Edge Limited this weekend. She is loving the Edge so far, but what distracts her at night is the blue blining light from above the rear view mirror. It looks like the blue tooth antenna, cause there is also a call button on it. I was thinking that light should go out after a while but it does not. Any ideas why it blinks forever? Thanks Bill
  12. I bet the y drive it to your lot. Unless you can convince them to put it on a flat bed and tow it.
