I purchased the Ford Trigger TPMS tool below in 2011. Follow the regular key ignition instructions for push button ignition. Took me a while to figure this out but works like a charm.

I do not believe programing is automatic for TPMS's. This year I did not program my snows and never had the warning light come on. I suspect one of two things. The car may remember 2 sets of tires after initial programing of the second set or more than likely, I kept the original tires in the garage this year and park in front of them every night. Last year I stored my tires elsewhere and it took about a week for the warnng light to come on.

I found the opposite. Link and sync with the iphone 5 is trouble free...so far. Had some sync/connected issues prior to the update. Even have incoming text working now.

So how do I get this update to work? Do you have to open the exe file before dragging it onto the USB?

Download to your hard drive then extract files to the USB stick. Upgraded mine without a hitch. Took about 40 minutes.

13 months for me....2 trips to the dealer only for my free oil changes....I'm happy!

I have the Kona blue....love it! I was torn between blue and white. The Edge looks good in almost any color but too many white, black, silver and gray vehicles out there for me. Look around any parking lot! Be a little different.

Sorry, having a hard time posting a pic. Maps are ver A3 US/Canada and all documentation is in English and French.

Received the blue package with the update today I am in Toronto, Canada.

Maybe post a vin # and a picture or two of the others?

Switch happened on the 2011's for Job 2. This was late Jan, early Feb of 2011.

I think the 2011's had the hook on type, and they change to snap on's in 2012. This is where people have to be careful when buying new mats.

I have a 2011 Egde LTD and they are snaps.

does anyone know if i can get just the 3 pieces changed?

 

i've found a bunch of links for entire 20-something piece sets but i like the rest of the interior. just those 3 pieces that are out of place...

Purchase a 1x2' piece and cut out the three pieces yourself.....thats what I did. I wend with a brushed alinuminum. Blends in with the door trim and looks great.

Thought I would share my experience with TPMS's on the 11 Edge. I purchased 4 Ford TMPS sensors and the programmer as SLYPX did for my winter tires/rims.

I was originally going to go with after market TPMS's and have them cloned but the Ford OEM's came down to an almost justifiable price. I put Bilzzaks on 18" chrome OEM's. Drove for a week with no alterts then one morning it went off. Tried to use the programmer that evening but no go. I could not get the Edge in learn mode. Found in a mustang forum which indicated putting the car in run mode then cycling the hazzards 3 times puts in in learn mode. Tried it an it did and it did but it did not detect anything from the programmer. Went back to the tire place a few days later an they tried with thier programmer with no success. Turns out their programmer needs an upgrade as it only supported up to 2010 for the Edge. I believe they were band type TPMS in 2010 and earlier Edges. Was told I would have to go to the dealer to get them programmed. Decieded tonight to try the key (non push button start) directions for the programmer. Worked like a charm. Had them programmed in less that a minute. Turns out the instructions for push button start that tirerack has posted is incorrect, at least for the Edge.

There are a lot of theories out there and on this board on how TPMS work. I can confidently tell you there is no auto learning or programming for the Edge. A second set of TPM's need to be programmed. Let me tell you, living with the TPMS malfunction message and chime everytime you start the car becomes irratating after a few days. Don't think I could do it for 4-5 months!

Hope this helps someone out. This is a great site and others have provided some great info here.

I have a similar noise occasionally coming from the right rear after the second brake at slow speeds. It almost sounds like the brake pads clunking in the caliper.

Tires are DM V1's.... picked them up in April from Kijiji listing locally. Rims came from Vegas....eBay! Not sure if the SEL has the two screens around the speedo but driving with no TPMS would have an irritating warning every time you start up the Edge on the LTD. Cloned after market TPMS means no programming when swapping tires. Ford rims are plastic chrome so not too worried about rust.

We got our MKX from that dealership too.

Free semi-synthetic oil for life and tire rotation.

 

And Lincoln Canada gives two free scheduled maintenance. (2 years).

I purchased my 2011 Edge back in March from this dealer as well. I recieved free lifetime oil changes, no tire rotation. Of course they try to nail you for a $30 tire rotation when you bring it in. The coupons you receive are only valid every 6 months or 10K kl. May not intervels you are use to but I believe adequate for todays engines and oils. I have only been in once and had no issues, quick and pleasent experience....not what you may read or hear from some other!. This is a high volume dealership. Service department is extreemly busy and disorganized during regular hours. They are open until midnight 3 days a week so if you can, I would suggest regular maintenance appointments are made in the evenings, thats what I do and have done in the past.

I have the AWD, but still need true snow tires for our Canadian winters IMO, thanks!

Agree. May be able to get away with it the first year on the stock tires but AWD is not a substitute for snow tires when it comes to stopping/steering and general control in the snow and ice. I invested in almost new 18" 2011 Limited chrome rims along with almost new Blizzaks for $1100. Will spend another $350 to get after market TPMS and have them installed and balanced. All said and done, will spend $1500. I have never been a fan of the black police like rim look for the winter!

I came out of a 2003 V6 Escape Sport in to a 2011 Edge LTD. Mileage is the same or better, especially on the highway (6 speed). Although I had a hard time giving up my Escape, I love my Edge and have no regrets.

My 2.7 to 2.11 self upgrade took 60 minutes. Have noticed a general faster response. Sync Services gone as they are not available in Canada. Services did work in the US and for about a week when I returned to Canada but that was on 2.7.

If I remember correctly Job 2 began at the end of Feb. I have Job 2 built first week of March.

John 747 whaere did you buy this product from? was it WRI supply located in Mississauga? If not I can't find a place that sell it, can you tell me where you got it from it looks amazing

Picked it up on ebay. Not sure if local guys carry all colours or textures. You can get away with a 1` x 2`` piece.

Thanks for the pictures. You did a GREAT JOB!! It really looks professional !!!

 

I'm not sure I could do such a good job - especially if I have to cut the pieces out myself. Maybe I can pay someone locally to do it for me. If I could get my hands on a pre-cut set, I might give it a try myself. Do you know if the glue will damage the plastic wood finish underneath in case I don't like it or when I sell the car?

Comes off fairly easily with no residue. I removed one of the two smaller areas by the steering wheel and redid it as I was not happy with it initially. This stuff is more often used on the exterior. Places that do exterior car wrapping or even some performace mod shops may be able to do it for you.

I purchased a 1 x 3' sheet and cut out the three wood sections myself. You have to cut out a section a bit bigger than the area, apply it and then carefully cut it out with a blade. You can get away with a 1 x 2' but I purchased extra just in case I messed it up. I have not found anyone selling just the 3 piece kit.

See pics. Hard to make out detail but it is a brushed aluminum finish look.

I will post pics when I get a chance. I purchased a 1 x 3' off eBay and cut it myself. Took less than an hour to install as I was being extremely careful. You have to cut it with a blade while it is on the panels. Everyone who has seem it cannot believe it is not OEM and vinyl. This stuff is awesome.

YouTube 3M Scotchprint. This stuff can be used on the exterior or interior.

I replaced mine with 3M Scotchprint vinyl brushed alinuminum. Looks great and fairly easy to do. Comes in a variety of colors and is easy to remove.

Took me a while to figure this out but once you have the RCA cables plugged in and in A/V mode on MFT start video on the iphone, tap the center of the MFT screen. I think i had it working even with the USB plugged in.
