You inspire me to vectorize the new 2011 Edge Logo so that you can easily add it to pictures and stuff in a photo editor like Corel or Photoshop. Since I can't attach vector EPS files to a fordedgeforum.com post I'll have to host it on my own site: http://hometeamperformance.com/images/2011edgelogo.eps I have Illustrator CS4 but I saved it in a legacy format so you should be able to open it no matter what version of Photoshop or Illustrator you have. Corel and GIMP users, you'll have to let me know if you can open it or not. Here's an example of how you can drop the EPS file into Photoshop and whip yourself up a wallpaper using it:

wrong forum - can I get a mod to move this to the Interior section?

Had another member message me asking if I could measure where my net hooks were located in the rear so they could add them to their 2008 model. If anyone else is interested in these measurements or is thinking about adding them themselves, here's what I sent the member (note I had to use imgur to host the images because I don't think you can attach pictures to a PM or at least I couldn't see where): There are two sets of hooks in the back. I had access to a 2010 with the black interior so I measured it for you on that one. I can't seem to upload pictures to a message on here so I took pictures of the measurements and am using imgur.com For the front-most hook: From the window down it's 12" (actually like 11.8" and following the contour of the rear panel). I measured to the center of the hook. http://imgur.com/MTsl0 From the weather stripping forward it's 17" almost on the nose. I measured to the edge of the base of the hook. http://imgur.com/7WWv1 For the rear-most hook: From top of the black/grey trim it's 2" (just past the center of the base) http://imgur.com/vVcRf From the weather stripping forward it's 1.5" In the picture I wasn't quite touching it so I added an extra tenth of an inch. http://imgur.com/tyhLz

that's crazy - you might've had something before you downloaded the wallpapers - they don't have any viruses in them (just jpeg photos) and nobody else has reported anything wigging out when they downloaded them. I like PeaZip if you don't have anything to unzip the file with. It's free and pretty easy to use. 7zip is free and a little more advanced. not to hijack my own thread, but If you're needing to get your computer cleaned up, try running a few malware scanners like AdAware, Spybot Search & Destroy, and if you're feeling confident try Hijack this (but it can be pretty tricky to use and dangerous if you delete the wrong items so newbies beware). Then it'd be in your best interest to download something to keep your computer clean and prevent it from happening again try Avast or AVG Free. They're both free and both do a good job. Norton and McAfee and the likes are too expensive and too invasive and always screw up my computers.

If absolutely nothing on yours is working - then I'd take it back to the dealership and let them make sure something isn't disconnected. I'd first try pulling the Sync fuse in the fuse panel and make sure that it's not that first. Wait about 15 seconds then put it back in and crank the car and see if that fixed it. That typically fixes issues people have when trying to sync a phone or a bluetooth device that's not syncing properly.

that's odd - surely you're not talking about these pictures? I have them sized specifically for the nav screen on the new Edge.

Your only problem would be the fact that the seat bottoms move when you let the seat down if I'm not mistaken. You'd be SOL on letting the seat backs down if you had a subwoofer box underneath one side. I suppose you could do the 40 split side instead of the 60 split so you could at least let the bigger side down if you needed.

I put mine on a flash drive - then go to Display Settings (I think that's the one) and change the background. Then you'll hit "Add" to add a new one (should have a default Ford oval already in there) browse the flash drive and add the one you want. You can only have around 30 I believe saved at one time. Once you've got it set and saved - click the home button at the bottom to go to the home screen - then press it again and select the top option (there are three options: 1 block, 4 blocks, and a third with lots of blocks... like 6 or 8). As far as I can tell, there's no way to make "1 block" the default - it will go back to the 4-square display when you shut the car off and turn it back on. (can anyone offer insight into this?) If you're still having trouble I'll make a step-by-step with pictures.

I freaked my girlfriend out and blamed her to hitting it with her elbow

Apple Wallpapers You've got your iPhone and you've got your iPad - turn your Nav screen into an Apple junkie just like you! Download: Apple HTP Pack.zip Wallpaper Wallpapers (hehe) These are old-house wallpaper style backgrounds that add a pretty cool look to the nav screen.

Do this test to make sure that it's your speaker that's blown and not something else (like paper in the side pocket) Audio Systems Without Navigation Turn the Audio Control Module (ACM) on...this is your head-unit. Operate the audio system in radio tuner (AM/FM) mode. Press and hold preset buttons 3 and 6 for 3 seconds until the speaker walk-around test begins. The display indicates each speaker as it is tested. NOTE: If the speaker walk-around test is the only test required, this procedure can be stopped after Step 3 by turning the ACM off. Before the speaker walk-around test is complete, carry out any of the following actions: Preset Button Press Diagnostic Function Display Diagnostic Function Description Press button: 1 Diagnostic Function: ACM Self-Test Display: SELF TEST Description: The ACM carries out a self-test. At the end of the self-test, the display either indicates SELF PASS or scrolls through any DTCs present. Note that the self-test may not indicate all DTCs that are present. If DTCs are suspected, retrieve continuous and on-demand DTCs using the scan tool. Press Button 2 Diagnostic Function: View DTCs Display: NO DTCS, or scrolls through DTCs Description: The ACM displays any DTCs that are present. To scroll through the DTCs, press the TUNE UP button. If no DTCs are present, the display reads NO DTCS. Press Button: 3 Diagnostic: AM/FM Antenna Signal Strength Display: SIGNAL ### Description: The ACM displays the AM/FM antenna signal strength. To run this test, the audio system should be in AM radio tuner mode before entering the ACM self-diagnostic mode. Press Button: 4 Diagnostic: Software Levels Display: SOFT LEVELS Description: The ACM displays software levels for various components of the audio system. Knowing the software levels may not aid diagnostics. Press the TUNE UP button to scroll through the software levels. Press Button: 5 Diagnostic: Display Test Display: DISPLAY TEST, then all segments illuminate All of the ACM segments illuminate. Description: If the vehicle is equipped with an Front Display Interface Module (FDIM), the segments on the FDIM illuminate, rather than the ACM. Press Button: 6 Diagnostic: Retrieve ACM Part Number Display: RADIO CONFIG Description: The ACM displays the ACM part number, and various configuration levels. Press the TUNE UP button to scroll to the desired function. To exit the self-diagnostic mode, turn the ACM off. If you have navigation, it's the same but you can press the buttons that come up on the screen.

Sounds like you have more of an issue other than leaving your cell-phone plugged in - as it cannot draw enough power from the battery to completely drain it in 24 hours. I've got a Lotus Elise with a racing battery that can become fully depleted in a week just due to the active alarm system. Ford uses larger capacity batteries than my race battery and I've never had one go out because I left a cell phone charger or GPS or radar detector plugged up. You may want to take your battery to a local shop to have it tested and make sure it's not bad. You may also want to have your alternator checked to see if it's charging your battery to it's fullest. Leaving your cell phone plugged in - even if the socket is active - shouldn't drain your battery in a week must-less 24 hours.

Are you sure it's not your Vista roof? I had one that rattled a bit and the dealership was able to quiet it down and remove about 75% of the rattle

I had the same issue in my 2010. I haven't had the issue with the 2011 yet but I know it's happened before. It will work fine with my phone but I am not able to stream music to it or anything like that. Pulling the fuse (it was #3 in the 2010) and waiting 10-15 seconds before putting it back in corrected it last time. You definitely should NOT have to do that and it should probably hold the connection. I've read this once already. There seems to be an issue with the Sync website right now regarding new 2011 models and this latest "patch" that it says it doesn't have. I find it lags quite a bit when you first start the car and for the first few minutes. I guess it's still loading behind the scene (because there's quite a lot of software running and they probably load the necessary bits quickly and first and display those and things like the radio stations and Travel Info load slowly). After 2-3 minutes of the car being on though I find that it's quicker and responsive. I've also found that you have to press the screen harder with your finger than you would say with your iPhone. It's not the same "touch" technology than the iPhone has. It's probably two screens that lay on top of each other and register when they're pushed together - whereas the iPhone has a different sensor for it's screens altogether.
