Newbie (1/14)

  1. I added an After-market Kenwood DNX7100 Navigation with a Pioneer amp (Kenwood amp wouldn't fit under the rear seat), 4 Kenwood Excelon 280w 2-way door speakers, & Sirius.
  2. I've also been contemplating getting the window deflectors, but I still have a question for those that have installed them. Did you notice an increase in wind noise at highway speeds? I take a lot of road trips with my Edge, and really appreciate the interior quietness at the higher speeds....makes the music sound better! Thanks in advance for your feedback.
  3. Sorry....I kept the subwoofer as it was good enough for me to not replace with an after-market one. Only items for sale are the main radio CDx6/MP3 head unit, and the 4 factory-installed two-way door speakers.
  4. New Premium Radio with CDx6/MP3 and 4 two-way door speakers was removed from my new Edge prior to accepting delivery. Used just once to verify it worked. I replaced with after-market Nav system, amp, and speakers. This system should fit many different Ford vehicles. Located in Colorado Springs, CO. Will deliver free to local buyer. Will split shipping cost for long distance buyer. First most reasonable offer gets it. If interested, leave message at my Profile.
  5. The after-market Kenwood DNX7100 Navigation System I had installed offers a choice of a male or female voice. :shades: My wife is usually riding in the passenger seat. Therefore, I chose the male voice...., since I already have one female voice telling me where to go. I didn't think I could handle two. Named 'Frank'.
  6. Opted for AWD due to a move to North Dakota next year. Like 'MHOsborn', I "wanted the extra traction (and security) of the AWD."
  7. UPDATE #2: The following is a description of the 'bulbs' I installed....definitely not HID, but as close as you can get according to the manufacturer.... "The blue top coat on these bulbs add a slight blue tint to the lamp while still providing outstanding performance. PIAA offers the 9000 Series Xtreme White Plus in four distinct types – 9004, 9005, 9006 and 9007. Manufactured to SAE recommended specifications and DOT compliant." "60w = 120w, 4000K" These bulb are way better than the OEM bulbs without the need for a HID ballast. - Paul
  8. I put HIDs on my Edge with no relay kit, and have seen no change in how my lights operate at all. UPDATE: Actually, I installed some PIAA H/L Bulbs.....maybe not the same thing as "HID" bulbs???
  9. Thanks for the quick response to my request for a topic move. And thank you for a very informative and well maintained forum.

  10. As promised, below is a photo of one of the front mud-flaps I install that I ordered from the Ford dealer. Also, I installed the Bug-shield that I ordered from the Ford dealer....notice is has "EDGE" etched on it. Maybe the bugs fly lower where I live, or just wishful thinking, but I definitely notice that I have many fewer bugs on the windshield than I do on the bug-shield, side-mirrors, front bumper, and grill that I did before installation. :yup: Also, a big THANK YOU to the 'staff' for moving this topic. :shades: - Paul
  11. You're welcome 'Dinoskate'! I will post some pics with the mud-flaps installed after I wash my Edge later today or tomorrow. :shades: I currently live in Colorado, but will be moving to North Dakota next year, so I'm thinking ahead. I also recently installed a bug-deflector that I ordered from Ford, and it has already proved it's worth. - Paul
  12. Don't need them on the rear as you can see in the above photo.....however, I did order the front ones from the dealer, and I just installed them yesterday. :stop:However, be aware that the instructions included are not exactly correct. :stop: These same mud-flaps are a 'one size fits all' product from Ford. They are made to install on the Edge, MKX, Explorer, & Navigator. If you follow the enclosed instructions as I did, you will wind up returning them to the dealer, as I did, to have them order another set (at their cost). The mud-flaps have a template on them with vehicle-designated marking where you are supposed to drill your mounting holes.....if you drill them as indicated in the instructions, they will wind up being install very crooked , and look terrible. The only "Hole Location" that is correct is the "E" hole. The remaining two holes will need to be created by you (the installer) near the designated "Hole Locations" of "M" & "U". I first drilled the "U" hole in the mud-flap using a 1/8' bit (not the 1/4" sized bit the instructions tell you), mounted the mud-flap(s) using the existing screw in the wheel-well, then using a level make them straight, I made my own markings to drill the remaining two "Hole Locations" before drilling into the sheet-metal of the wheel-well. Also the instructions say to use a 7mm wrench to remove the existing screw ("U")....totally wrong, not even close, with or without a conversion to US....it turned out to be a 7/32" wrench. If you read the printed instructions first and then compare them to what I described above BEFORE you start or drill any holes, it will all make sense, and you'll save time and frustration. When I returned the first set to the dealer, the Parts Manager totally agreed with me that the instructions were bogus...no problems there at all. :yup: I also used a black silicone sealant on the holes I drilled into the sheet-metal. Please let me know if you have any questions in case I left something out. - Paul
  13. Welcome to the Edge 'club' Brian! :shades: Enjoy your new ride and post some pics to share with us. - Paul
