Here's an oddity after install of the USB Hub:

Hub has been working great, used Carplay a few times already. I wanted to see if I was able to have my iPod hooked up/playing while having Carplay also in use. I had one OEM Lightning cable and one after market in my car so I tested with those. I couldn't get Carplay to register from the after market, so Carplay was working with the OEM. Carplay was on, but then couldn't get the iPod to register at all. I unplugged both, restarted my phone. Now neither cable will register either iPhone or iPod or charge or load up Carplay.

I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences. I'm going to go out there with another OEM cable, with a fresh reboot of phone and car and see if anything changes.

Tried a different USB stick and it's now updating , who knows what happened

What do you mean by the hashes?

Yes, There are instructions inside of the ZIP file. If not, you must copy the contents of the ZIP file to the root of a FAT32 or EXTFat formatted flash drive.

Yup extracted the file to the root of my drive. I'm using EXTFAT... there is only 2 files the sync my ride and the auto file Very strange. The USB light is blinking , just nothing on screen.

I plugged the usb into my car and nothing shows up that it's doing anything, is this normal? Should something appear on screen

Where can I get that file to upgrade? Do you recall where you got the file? I've ordered the module, but obviously can return if I don't need it.

Is OP still accurate that I can't upgrade from V1.0-Nav, if I want to start the CarPlay upgrade process myself?

Read this thread:

If I'm reading correctly I'm sort of stuck with being with v1

Hey all,

I'm currently in a 16 Edge Sync3 V1.0

I am tired of waiting for Ford and was thinking of doing the upgrade as alot of had success. I'm in a lease, can this in any way cause blowback? I understand there is always a chance of bricking system.

It's a simply snap.. I will take a picture tomorrow and upload

Thanks gonna check it out!!

They don't have my year yet. Quite annoying lol

Yeah I was putting black 18" on it. Website told me that information which was very frustrating.

Is there anything else I need to specify for my car aside from bolt pattern?

Where can I find out the bolt pattern of the 2016 model I have?

I just bought rims per a website based on my year and make and when I got the rims the bolt pattern was incorrect.

Per the website it had me as: 5 X 114.3

Yeah I took it off and the middle was doing a sort of "S" shape. I brought it inside and let it warm up for a few hours and it went back to shape. It's much better now. I'll buy the rain X spray.

The stock wiper that came on my 16 edge is such crap! It's so streaky!! I took it apart and have no clue where I can find a replacement. All the sites online have no info for this year. Id prefer rain X just no sure I can.

This is sort of a snap in place mechanism. Anyone have any info where I can get better blades?

I also noticed I get this cracking noise when I have a cd in the deck....??

Mine has done this in the past, but I noticed if I formatted the ipod and resynced it the noise went away. From what I gathered I think it has to do with the syncing process and the only way I could correct it was to format....not a big deal though...

By format it.... what do u mean? Restore it to default n put the music back on?

I've noticed that my speakers make little cracking/popping noises when I have my Ipod plugged in via USB. When I'm listening to the regular radio/Sirius the speakers sound fine.

Is this something anyone else has experienced?? I was going to call my dealership and have them take a look at it, my edge is only a month old.

VERY good point.

 

And that leads to the question of kids. I want a place to keep things from my child while she is in the car.

 

Looks like an aftermarket opportunity

Exactly.. just WHAT aftermarket opp? Ya know?

I have an 11 Edge and I noticed that the glove box doesn't have a lock. My old cars glove box had a lock so I got used to keeping my GPS/Ipod in there under lock. Now I'm trying to figure an alternative since the Edge doesn't have any locked compartments..... or does it?? Lol

Any suggestions? I apologize for such a weird question

If you are just looking for a good ball park price to statr from, I just bought two new cars at once a 2011 Fusion and A 2011 Edge Ltd. The salesman gave me invoice on both. If you compair invoice to MSRP with out taking into consideration the license & Title, electronic filing fee, sales tax Doc Fee,Finance charges and rebates the difference between my invoice and MSRP was 6.68% Hope this helps

I've went to two different dealerships and when I mention invoice price they tell me I'm already getting a great deal. I'm a noob @ this car dealing game and i'll tell ya it's quite frustrating lol

Ask to see the invoice. Look up the vehicle options at kbb.com, take their dealer invoice price and add $500 - this will be within $200 or so of the actual dealer invoice (kbb.com and other internet pricing sites don't include the advertising fee which is a legitimate part of the actual dealer invoice - thus the extra $500). Ask about the documentation fee - this is additional profit and generally runs $300-$400 but could be much higher.

I saw the invoice, he showed it to me on the screen 33,360.

KBB says 32,799 which +500 gives a round about dealer invoice. So his numbers to finance does make sense w/the interest rate he said I would get. Next I must call marketing dept and see if they can research my requested brochure's... that $750 coup would be nice )

This is all so overwhelming lol...

That is possible depending on how much you put down, how much you've paid up to that point and how much the vehicle is actually worth.

 

Take the $0 down lease (or close to it). The dealer can still buy your car for the trade-in price and give you the cash. Use the money to reduce your monthly payments during the lease if you need to. If not you have extra money to put down on the loan to buy the car after the lease.

Hopefully I can get some kind of loan from my credit union and avoid all the rest. Plus I still haven't seen an official pricing break down b/c the car is coming from another dealership. He swears it's invoice price......it's so hard to trust a car salesman!

Who told you NEVER put cash down on a lease? It depends on what you're trying to do.

 

Do you plan to keep the car after the lease (buy it out) or turn it in and walk away?

Will your financial situation be better in 3 years?

I read some things online through forums and articles and also word of mouth. Mainly what I've been told is if god forbid the car was totaled that down pmt is gone and will never been seen again.

Yes my plans are to keep the car. I went in there with a finance only state of mind. Not looking to get into a new car after the lease terms are up.
