  1. Anyway to disable the "Accessory Delay"? I know when you open the doors the system will shut down however I just got a remote start installed and when I start the vehicle and if I decide not to leave and shut it down the radio will keep playing for 10 min til the Accessory Delay kicks in.
  2. I am 39. I dont have Love for any CAI, I have just had them on my cars for Performance not MPG gain. The last CAI I had was on my 2001 C5, it was a http://vararam.com/b2.html Yep it did increase MPG with normal driving however I lost more MPG during heavy throttle with the CAI VS the stock Intake and when it got colder out the MPG on the Vararam went down even at regular throttle. I traded the C5 in for my Edge, man that Vette was a POS. I am not against any CAI, I just say you can loose MPG because of them even though they advertise a MPG gain.
  3. Yes it is true about all cars, however it is worse with a CAI. And I am no kid, I may be just as old or older than you.
  4. It is a fact vehicles that breathe cold air use more fuel. I loose approx 3MPG when the cold weather hits Wisconsin, and no I dont let my vehicle idle and warm up till the snow melts off. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/factors.shtml Here you may want to discuss with these guys at F150online and also tell them that cold air doesn't effect MPG either. They are discussing this topic right now. http://www.f150online.com/forums/chips-tuners-programming/434082-cold-air-temp-winter-mpg-drop.html
  5. Send it back if it doesn't work, don't modify something that expensive. If Weathertech said it would work and it doesn't they will reimburse you for the shipping charges.
  6. Funny they changed their mind since last time I called. Well since the 2010 Edge has one mounting point on the floor and the 2011 Edge has 2 mounting points on the floor I would like to see them fit. FYI their website still does not show a 2011 Edge.
  7. Every CAI I have used got me more MPG if I was out of the throttle. When you lay into the throttle you do loose MPG.
  8. I though analog cell is dead? Digital is all now. Must a been a deal to be free back in the day, not free anymore with the new stuff.
  9. So what were the prices of Autopage's phone system, fees and module? There still has to be some fee cause your car has to have some type of web/phone service before it can even communicate with your phone.
  10. Here is a whole discussion on the topic. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/6001-alarm-and-remote-start/page__p__47345__fromsearch__1#entry47345
  11. The new CAI (Cold Air Intake) do produce more HP than the Ford system does! So why doesnt Ford go this route? Well Ford wants the quiet sounding engine, best overall MPG, and ease of assembly line installation. Most CAI's produce good overall HP gains but there is a price..... lower MPG when you heavy on the gas. Also CAI's use more fuel cause the colder the air intake the more fuel it uses. CAI's are louder cause they dont have the stock air baffles/muffler, Ford has these just like any other car MFG.... Can you imagine being 80 buying a Cadillac with a loud engine? It is not all about the air filter why people buy these, it is about performance and looks.
  12. Calling on a phone to start your car is an expensive option with a $50.00 a year fee plus you have to have a smartphone. The module is almost $300 that has to get installed on the remote starter if you use a remote starter from http://www.directed.com/ The phones you have to have are iPhone, Blackberry or the Android to use the SmartStart. I dont know what Autopage charges for monthly or yearly fees. Maybe you can post prices for Autopages phone starter features, module and monthly/yearly fees?
  13. I hope so too. At work they use lots of Sand cause it is cheap in the Winter, unfortunately it fills my car with rocks/pebbles all winter. Only place I ever worked where they use Sand, everywhere else in Wisconsin uses Salt. I have the same mats as Wilson right now cause Weather Tech couldnt give me a date of MFG for them, I would put money it will be next Spring or Summer since it is all a new design.
  14. If you want pictures of the 2011 Edge mats let me know, not sure if you were looking for the MKX ones or not. I wiil take pictures if you want some.
  15. Like I said I asked for PICTURES not DRAWINGS...... You told me to go to Toys R US and get Crayons to color in the Drawings so yeah you were being a Dick by making that comment.
  16. I am looking at the Viper 5701 or the Python 872 at the moment. Both are the same alarm and made by the same company but have different names, kinda like Mercury Topaz and Ford Tempo both same cars but different names.
  17. What a dick! I asked a simple question and you had to be a dick.
  18. What a crappy job Ford did designing that. I mean it looks like they put no thought in the design or how it attaches. Happy Thanksgiving.
  19. I have never ever locked a glovebox. I rather leave it unlocked cause it is one more thing to break when they break in.
  20. Anybody got pictures of one installed so we can see how crappy they really are?
