Please please please don't tint the rear taillights. Don't sacrifice visibility for coolness.

No idea who actually makes them but they're Ford parts - no brand name.

Only the head unit is Sony anyway - not the speakers. Are you looking to upgrade?

Depends on the channel and probably the time of day. They do it to get more channels - no mystery there. It doesn't sound any worse than FM to me but I'm no audiophile.

Topic closed. Retrosolutions - feel free to start another clean thread for the 2011 Sport HID kit. Thinline - no more posts on this issue.

Blazedup's posts were deleted so I can't check IPs, but the dates are suspcious. Consider this your final warning. Whatever actually happened you've already made your point.

Well I don't like it either so tone it down or I can arrange a vacation.

http://www.motorcraftservice.com Click on owner's guides, then select your vehicle and you'll see all the various manuals and guides.

Go by the manual - or do it a little sooner at 7500. There is no way it should be changed at 3000.

Using a higher octane than recommended typically won't help, but there are some exceptions. Some vehicles have computer programming that advances the engine timing for better performance. When you advance the engine timing you usually have to increase the octane to compensate. These vehicles will usually be advertised as Premium Fuel recommended (as opposed to required).

On my 08 it comes from the driver's side C pillar. I know because I sit there when my daughter drives and it's really annoying.

Dealers are not the most tech-savvy users to begin with. It's possible those were Ford's directions but it's also possible they misinterpreted it.

Ford isn't doing any of this - the dealers are. And I'd be willing to bet that Ford doesn't instruct the dealers to download directly to the device and that's just how some dealerships are choosing to do it either because they misinterpreted the instructions or they don't have a USB flash drive. Remember these are the same dealers who were told they needed a USB cable but didn't order them. Not saying Ford is perfect or they didn't screw up but I think a lot of the blame goes to the unprepared dealers.

Try pulling the battery and resetting the phone first, just for grins.

This is all covered in the manual. There is a procedure where you place the fob in a special slot next to the receiver and that allows the vehicle to start normally. I think it's in or near the center console.

It should be printed somewhere in the vehicle but I don't remember exactly where on the Edge.

I was responding to EdgieGuy's post that said he had to pay for air (that's why I quoted it).

It still fluctuates, just not as much. But unless you're in a NASCAR race where you're adjusting tire pressure to the 1/4 pound, it won't matter. The biggest benefit is lack of moisture. If you check your tire pressure regularly there is no practical benefit to nitrogen filling. But it won't hurt.

You could try some powdered graphite - that's what locksmiths use. I agree it sounds like a switch is getting stuck inside the ignition.

The air is still free. It's the compression you have to pay for..........

If it's sticky I would try bug and tar remover or WD-40 first. Clay bar is typically used for hard surface contamination like rail dust.

Well that's the correct test. That sucks. I assumed all Edges had the perimeter alarm feature. Now I have to go test my 08 Limited.

How did you test it to find out it had no alarm?

Isn't there a fuse you can pull to disable the rear wheel torque transfer? That would be the ultimate troubleshooting test. Run the same curve with and without AWD.

You guys do understand that not all stations will be broadcasting more than one sub station, right? So there might not be a HD2 or HD3 channel available. At least that's my understanding.
